Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) is transforming the way high-performance components are designed, manufactured, and deployed across various sectors. Its ability to create complex geometries, optimise material usage, and achieve unparalleled customisability is driving its adoption in industries such as aerospace, telecommunications, defence, energy, and biomedical applications. Moreover, advancements in metal AM are paving the way for new materials development, enhanced microstructural control, and improved mechanical performance, making it a critical enabler for future innovations. As the field evolves, addressing key challenges such as process simulation, materials qualification, and scalable production methods remains essential to unlocking its full potential. This workshop will provide a platform for researchers, industry experts, and practitioners to discuss the latest breakthroughs, share knowledge, and foster collaboration in the dynamic field of metal AM.
We invite authors to submit 250-word abstracts for oral or poster presentations on the following topics:
- Applications of Metal AM in aerospace, telecommunications, defence, energy, and biomedical sectors.
- Modelling and Simulation using finite element modelling (FEM) or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimize metal AM processes.
- Development of New Metal AM Techniques, including hybrid methods and innovations in process design.
- Microstructural and Mechanical Properties, including process-structure-property relationships, post-processing, and
- New Materials Development for metal AM, such as alloys tailored for AM processing.
- Application of AI techniques in metal AM: process optimisation, design, and defect identification.
The workshop will be held over one day and aims to connect researchers and practitioners working on metal AM.
