UV Days has been a key industry event for optical systems since 2002. In 2025, visitors can once again expect an exciting program - with live demonstrations, innovations such as FREEcure and SMARTcure, the UV Expo, keynote speeches and conferences, theme days and company tours.
Experience technology live: FREEcure & SMARTcure
The two innovative technologies FREEcure and SMARTcure are in particular focus this year. FREEcure reduces the use of photoinitiators to a minimum or even makes them completely superfluous. This technology is particularly suitable for production with low-migration inks for sensitive products and packaging. FREEcure makes it possible to reduce the number of dryers, which leads to considerable energy savings.
SMARTcure is an AI-supported curing technology that identifies potential energy savings, optimizes the curing process and extends the service life of LED systems. The system analyzes all relevant parameters, such as dryer output per unit depending on the ink location, ink and coating type and maximum production speed based on the required dose. The entire UV curing process becomes smarter, more sustainable and more efficient.
Individual, interactive, inspiring
Whether it's keynote speeches, company tours, live demos or excursions - visitors can organize their day at the trade fair individually and according to their personal interests. The diverse event program not only offers first-hand expert knowledge, but also numerous networking opportunities. Visitors can use the event app to register for the individual program items. In the afternoon, exhibitors and visitors are invited to round off the day together at the Swabian wine village.
Excursion days and topic highlights
On Tuesday, June 3rd, the inkjet conference in the afternoon will focus on specific topics. Digital printing experts will report on the latest developments in exciting keynote speeches. The program will be rounded off with additional live print demos in the UV Expo. With the aim of strengthening the exchange between the industries and identifying joint development potential, organizer IST METZ is sending a delegation to the Institute of Aircraft Construction (IFB) on the second day of the event and to the German Institute of Textile + Fiber Research (DITF) on the third day, Thursday June 5.
