New information platform: 3D printing and the law

3D and Law

Exactly on schedule, the “Information platform: 3D printing and the law” (of our partner TU Berlin) went online on May 31, 2016.

One basic aim is the early investigation of legal questions in regard to 3D printing and ways to comply with any relevant legislation. The website will publish articles on 3D printing, regarding either technical or legal aspects, as well as information on events dealing with additive manufacturing.

According to the Center for Intellectual Property of the TU Berlin: “We seek dialogue with engineers, entrepreneurs and researchers within and outside the research association in order to highlight the wide range and diversity of the 3D scene in Germany.”

The redesigned platform will be launched online in the near future.
