WORKSHOP 

“Research Policy Frameworks and Strategic Alignment


We bring together leading academic scientists and researchers!


September 8th, 2026      1pm - 5pm 

Scope of the event

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is considered as the next
industrial revolution, owing to its ability to produce parts with very complex shapes. This capability enables new design and application opportunities.

While not all the issues are resolved, there are approved applications of AM in the most demanding environments. With Powder Bed Fusion, Directed Energy Deposition and Binder Jet Processing garnering a lot of attention, metal powders are critical to meeting requirements both technical and commercial.

This workshop is the first of a series dedicated to powder materials for AM and provides an overview of the key issues in powders for AM. The speakers will be a combination of academic and industrial leaders.

Who should attend? Members from along the value chain such as program managers, technical experts and academia.

There will be time for discussion and exchanges after the presentations, so attendees are encouraged to engage with the other attendees and speakers.
