Linecross joined engineers and material specialists from across Europe at the SPE European Thermoforming Conference in Strasbourg to explore innovations in recycled materials, AI-driven manufacturing and the future of thermoforming.
Thermoforming is evolving rapidly. From the development of recycled materials to the introduction of AI-driven process optimisation, the industry continues to move forward at pace.
These themes were at the centre of discussions at the SPE European Thermoforming Conference, held recently in Strasbourg. The event brought together engineers, material specialists and manufacturers from across Europe to share technical knowledge and explore the future of thermoforming technology.
The European Thermoforming Conference is organised by professionals working within the sector itself. Its focus is firmly on technical insight, practical application and knowledge exchange between those actively shaping the industry.
Across the conference programme, sessions explored a wide range of topics influencing the future of thermoforming. These included developments in recycled materials, the role of thermoforming within the circular economy, the impact of evolving plastics regulations and the increasing use of digital tools such as artificial intelligence and digital twin technology to optimise manufacturing processes.
Events like this play an important role in helping the industry stay connected. They create a platform for open discussion, collaboration and the sharing of practical experience between engineers, researchers and manufacturers.
The Linecross team attended the event to connect with industry colleagues and contribute to those conversations. Rather than travelling light, they brought along product samples to demonstrate the potential of thermoforming in sustainable material applications.
Among the examples showcased was luggage manufactured using recycled sea plastics, highlighting how advanced thermoforming techniques can support the development of innovative products using recovered materials.
The conference provided a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss emerging technologies and explore the future direction of thermoforming with peers from across Europe.
Thank you to everyone who visited the Linecross team during the event. We look forward to continuing those conversations in the months ahead.
