At the centre are specialists and scientists working on the further development of technologies, materials and processes in the field of welding, cutting and coating. Emphasis is placed on industrial application research, materials development and process innovation:

• Development and project engineers for cutting and joining technologies
• Materials scientists and metallurgists with a focus on cutting and welding processes
• Laboratory and test managers for material analyses and cut/seam qualities
• Research group leaders and R&D experts for additive manufacturing and automated welding systems
• Application developers for digitalisation, automation and process integration
• Innovation managers in manufacturing technologies and production automation
• Developers and analysts of welding consumables, brazing technology and shielding gases

Training must keep pace with technology - practical, up-to-date and future-proof. USE shows which teaching materials, training equipment and industrial developments is relevant today. Anyone who wants to design modern training programmes or establish new partnerships will find the right impetus here. Typical roles in this area:

• Trainers and teachers of metal, welding and process engineering
• Lecturers and professors at universities, technical academies and vocational schools
• Laboratory engineers and workshop managers in training and education centres
• Persons responsible for curriculum development and further training concepts in industrial technology
• Trainers and examiners for CNC technology, machine operation in the cutting sector
• Students on technical degree programmes and trainees in metalworking professions

First-hand industry knowledge, tangible technology and people with real stories. Whether for articles, interviews or background research: this is where content is created that makes developments in joining, cutting and coating accessible. The focus is on media professionals who provide editorial support for new technologies, market trends and innovations - from traditional specialist editorial teams to digital industry platforms:

• Specialist and technical editorial teams with a focus on manufacturing, production and cutting technology
• Journalists and editors for metalworking and industrial manufacturing
• Technical editors and content specialists from the industrial and technology sector
• Bloggers, content creators and specialist authors from the B2B metalworking environment
• PR and communication managers in technology and manufacturing companies
