The Essential AM track addresses the critical enabling technologies and considerations that determine the success of additive manufacturing beyond the build process itself. Covering key themes such as Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), post-processing, standards, repeatability, serial manufacturing, artificial intelligence, 3d scanning and business case development, this track provides the practical knowledge needed to accelerate AM adoption at scale.
Sessions will showcase how advanced design methods, automation, and optimized workflows unlock efficiency and consistency, while discussions on standards and qualification address the need for reliability and trust in critical sectors. Experts will also explore the role of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and 3D scanning in driving smarter design, real-time process control, and digital integration. Alongside technical insights, case studies will outline strategies for robust business case development and ROI measurement.
Delegates will gain actionable insights into the tools, workflows, and frameworks that transform AM from experimental projects into industrialized, value-creating solutions.
