The energy transition is forcing hard choices: extend the life of critical assets, build new capacity faster, and do both with tighter budgets and stricter sustainability targets. AMA: Energy 2025 brings together operators, OEMs, materials innovators, and standards leaders to show where additive manufacturing (AM) is delivering today, from the first in-core nuclear AM component to digital spare parts strategies that keep fleets running.
This one-day program is designed for domain experts, buyers and practitioners. Expect concise talks, evidence over hype, and panels that stay on unit economics, qualification, and procurement.
Free registration now open: 17 September 2025: virtual conference with live Q&A and networking.
Why attend AMA: Energy 2025?
Availability & uptime: Digital inventories and on-demand manufacturing are shortening lead times and cutting carrying costs across maritime, upstream, power gen, and grid.
Thermal performance: New AM heat exchangers and lattice designs are moving from prototypes to production, improving efficiency in process, battery, and HVAC systems.
Nuclear readiness: Qualified serial parts and large-scale metal AM are reshaping outages, tooling, and plant upgrades.
Materials that matter: Ceramics, metals, novel AM feedstocks, and material processing technologies are opening new windows for corrosive, high-temp, and dielectric applications.
Sustainability with proof: Life-cycle assessment (LCA) and low-energy processes separate real gains from greenwash.
