Discover next-gen 3D scanning for plastics at KPA 2026

Feb. 25, 2026 | Ulm-Messe (Ulm, Germany)

What: KPA 2026
Where: Booth 2-B12, Ulm-Messe
When: February 25-26, 2026

KPA (Kunststoff Produkte Aktuell) returns to Ulm-Messe on February 25–26 for its 2026 edition, bringing together professionals in the design, development, and procurement of plastic products. The event provides a great platform for discovering materials, manufacturing technologies, and production strategies. For businesses working across automotive, healthcare, mechanical engineering, consumer goods, furniture, and electrical engineering, KPA offers immediate access to practical solutions that streamline workflows and reduce development cycles. Thanks to its compact, industry-focused format, the event makes it easy to connect with suppliers and technology providers, promoting application-driven discussions and addressing real-world manufacturing challenges.

As you navigate the floor, meet our partners 3D-MODEL at Booth 2-B12. Stop by for live demos and hands-on testing to explore Artec 3D solutions and learn how integrating 3D scanning & printing can accelerate product development, support reverse engineering, and enable cost-effective production of custom plastic components.

From the wireless, AI-driven Artec Leo—ideal for capturing large plastic parts like automotive interiors and housings directly on the shop floor—to the ultra-precise Spider II, which delivers the high resolution required for complex components like connectors or medical devices, Artec 3D scanners are designed to elevate your manufacturing workflows. Use the desktop Micro II for automated scanning and analysis of injection-molded parts, and the handheld Point for high-precision dimensional inspection tasks. When paired with Artec Studio software, these scanners allow you to effortlessly process scan data, perform CAD comparisons, and prepare files for manufacturing. Join 3D-MODEL at KPA 2026 to discuss your project-specific challenges and explore complete, end-to-end workflows.
