Topics

The focus of the conference will be on modern technological trends and new developments in materials science for metal additive manufacturing. The conference will address all methods of metal additive manufacturing (like laser and electron beam melting, binder jetting, direct energy deposition, and others) and cover the following topics:

• AM processing of titanium, aluminum, nickel-based alloys, copper and other metallic metals
• Mechanical properties of parts and assurance of their reproducibility
• In-situ heat treatment, post heat treatment and mechanical post processing
• Microstructure evolution and its influence on material properties
• New alloys for metal additive manufacturing
• Graded properties of additively manufactured parts
• Multi-material AM
• Powder development and recycling aspects
• Simulation-based development of AM processes and materials
• Process monitoring and process quality assurance
• Non-destructive testing and part quality assurance
• Formation and effects of defects
