Math2Market at the 39th Hofer Vliesstofftage: Sina Schwichow and Maximilian Luczak exchanged ideas with industry experts on innovative approaches to nonwoven development. The focus was on image-based modeling and simulation with GeoDict.

On November 4–5, 2026, our colleagues Sina Schwichow and Maximilian Luczak represented Math2Market at the 39th Hofer Vliesstofftage in Hof, Germany. The event brought together experts from the nonwovens industry and research community to exchange ideas on current developments, challenges, and innovations.

With 21 technical presentations, this year's symposium covered a wide range of topics, from industrial applications and manufacturing processes to the latest research developments. Key areas of discussion included energy efficiency, sustainability, circular economy, and the growing importance of simulation in nonwoven development and production.

For Math2Market, the event provided a valuable opportunity to connect with industry professionals and discuss how image-based modeling and simulation with GeoDict can support the development and optimization of nonwoven materials. Topics included the analysis of complex fiber structures, the investigation of material properties, and the virtual evaluation of structural variations.

We would like to thank everyone for the interesting discussions and valuable exchanges during the event!
