GrindDialog: 12–13 November 2026 in Trossingen
The boundaries of manufacturing are shifting. What is considered technological progress today will be standard tomorrow. New materials, increasing quality requirements, digitalization, and automation are changing the way manufacturing is conceived, developed, and controlled. Individual processes are no longer at the center in isolation. What matters is an understanding of the overall system.
GrindDialog is the place where this perspective becomes visible.
This is where leading minds from science and industry meet to discuss the questions that will shape the manufacturing of tomorrow – long before they become visible in industrial practice. The focus is on technological interrelationships, new insights, and developments at the limits of what is currently possible. This goes far beyond individual technologies. It is about the interaction of processes, machines, materials, data, and people. It is about the question of how manufacturing can be understood, controlled, and further developed as an interconnected system. GrindDialog creates space for technical depth, open exchange, and dialogue between research and industrial application. This is where existing approaches are questioned, new perspectives are developed, and impulses are set that pave the way toward the manufacturing of the future.
Anyone who wants to understand where manufacturing is heading must be where its foundations are created.
