ChemStream has taken a number of measures to limit the risks of transmission of the corona virus: The landline phone is no longer used: to contact us, it is better to use the central email address (info@chemstream.be), or our personal email addresses.The students who were doing their internship or thesis have (temporarily) left the ship.The lab is divided into different zones, where only 1 person is allowed to be present per moment. We plan our practical work in such a way that the density of the coworkers is limited to what is allowed by the rules of 'social distancing'.Those who can bundle their data processing, writing reports and other administrative tasks work at home.There will be no more visitors during the entire corona crisis, and we equally don't visit other companies. ​

Last year ChemStream developed its first modular stand with the help of experienced stand designer Ronald Marien, stand builder White House Design and graphic designer Peter Boodts. The creative process required a lot of brainstorming and iterations and we are very proud of the result.It even led us to the nomination for winning the World Exhibition Stand Awards, appearing in the list of finalists! The 3 main goals of the stand were as follows:1) to stand out from the other stands/a stand with Stopping Power2) to raise questions about our business activities and attract the right target customers3) to create a unique and striking corporate image for Chemstream and have a modular structure, which is easy to re-use at next trade fairs    We chose for a warm look, opted for natural materials in wood and for sufficient spotlights to make the stand more attractive.We divided our stand in 2 zones: the 'exhibition corner' and the 'one-to-one communication area', but also made sure that a central eye catcher immediately grabbed the attention of the visitor and explained what we actually do (ex. making inks for the future).In the 'exhibition corner' we chose to make several cabinets where each cabinet represents an expertise that ChemStream is good at. For filling the cabinets we made sure that people's interest could be aroused through humour, exaggeration, beauty, movement, colour, light, etc. so by triggering people's senses and emotions.For the 'sitting area' we chose to make a more quiet, yet not exclusive, lounge environment in order to invite and welcome passengers to have a seat. More information about our nominated stand at INPRINT 2019 can be obtained via the following link. We finally want to thank Ronald Marien, Stijn Vandenberghe (White House Design) and Peter Boodts for their excellent translation and elaboration of our message.     

ChemStream attended the PROTOTYPING Xpo in Kortrijk in February with a stand (no. 430) andintroduced to its public the 3D inkjet printing process, a unique technology for the production of hig-resolution multi-material objects.  We also presented our cooporation with 2 companies that actually developed mature 3D printing machines in this field.Luxexcel developed an additive fabrication process for the 3D inkjet printing of ophtalmic lenses.dp polar GmbH developed a 3D inkjet printing machine for Additive Manufacturing on a truly industrial scale. We thank all visitors for their interest in our activities. For some explanation about the stand you can click here .For a link to the fair click here.For an article with som info on our activities in UV inkjet 3D printing, click here .
