The UK’s Additive International summit, taking place 9th – 11th July, has confirmed its list of speakers for 2019. Many world-class academic teams are represented by the line-up, including the award winning Cranfield University, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), the University of Nottingham and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
Glass optics, computed axial lithography, vat photopolymerization, embedded sensors, NASA metallic hardware development, and motorsport brakes are just some of the topics to be discussed at the event, which is also now open for registration.
“Additive International prides itself on providing a platform to share the latest research, developments and applications in additive manufacturing – as well as to address its challenges,” comments summit chair Professor Richard Hague, “This year’s conference is no exception.”
“We look forward to welcoming new and established voices from across the AM community to share ideas, network and collaborate on ideas to help move technologies and processes forward, and to tackle some of the obstacles the industry faces.”
