LEXR explains the legal and financial principles\, highlights typical clauses and terms as well as possible pitfalls. \nLEXR also shows why CLAs are an attractive form of financing\, particularly in the early stages of a company\, and why their number should be sensibly limited. \nThe aim is to provide start-ups with the necessary know-how for the next round of financing and to prepare them optimally for negotiations with investors. \n \n To the registration\n \nAt the Partner Lunch\, Startfeld service providers talk from the inside.

It opens up new degrees of freedom in design and functional integration and enables components that are difficult or impossible to manufacture using conventional processes. \n \n For further information and registration\n \nCourse objective and structure \nAdditive manufacturing is changing the way metal components are designed and manufactured. New degrees of freedom in design\, functionality and use of materials are opening up for the design of components – provided that the underlying processes and materials are understood. \nThis one-day course offers a practical overview of the most important metallic AM processes and shows how powder\, process parameters and post-treatment shape the microstructure and thus the component properties. Typical challenges and economic application scenarios are also discussed. \n When & where? \nTuesday\, March 17\, 2026 \nEmpa\, AcademyÜberlandstrasse 1298600 DübendorfSwitzerland \n For whom \nEngineers\, technicians\, designers and anyone else involved in the additive manufacturing of metals in product development\, production or quality assurance. \n Course content \n\nOverview of metal additive manufacturing processes (powder bed and DED processes\, sinter-based processes)\nPowder production and powder properties for AM\nImportant alloy systems (steels\, Ni\, Al\, Ti alloys and special materials)\nThermal and mechanical post-treatment processes\nCharacterization and properties of additively manufactured components\nEconomic aspects and evaluation of use cases\n\n Speaker \nDr. Christian Leinenbach is head of the “Advanced Processing & Additive Manufacturing of Metals” group at Empa in Dübendorf and Thun and a lecturer in metals science and technology at EPFL. His work focuses on the development of new alloys and composite materials for additive manufacturing and the optimization of additive manufacturing processes for metals. \n Registration \nLink to registration \nOrganizer URL:https://innovationspark-ost.ch/en/event/ip-awareness-value-creation/ CATEGORIES:For SMEs,For startups,Partner events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://innovationspark-ost.ch/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Empa-Additive-Fertigung-Kurs.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20260317T114500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20260317T130000 DTSTAMP:20261003T163910 CREATED:20260217T123605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260310T080638Z UID:10000551-1773747900-1773752400@innovationspark-ost.ch SUMMARY:Startfeld Partner Lunch in Buchs: LEXR DESCRIPTION:Convertible loan agreements\nThis article gives you a practical insight into how convertible loan agreements (CLAs) work.
