The line-up for the 12th International Conference on Additive Manufacturing has been announced featuring 19 speakers from leading research institutions and companies involved in the 3D printing industry.
The conference will take place in Nottingham, UK from July 12th – 13th, with a pre-conference event running on the 11th.
The host of the event, the University of Nottingham, is one of the leading researchers into 3D printing and recently launched the FLAC project to explore use of 3D printing in the automotive industry.
3D printed medicine and hologram 3D printing
At the additive manufacturing conference, speakers from the University of Nottingham, the University of Cambridge, Carnegie Mellon University and will be joined by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) among.
The University of Nottingham’s Clive Roberts will discuss the nature of 3D printing in medicine and how the technology has the capability to producing drugs in the form of tablets. The possibilities of 3D printing pills was apparent when 3D Printing Industry visited University College London to see firsthand how an FDM printer is 3D printing medicine.
Elsewhere, there will be representatives from US research facilities Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Maxim Shusteff will present the latest developments from LLNL, with a focus on the use of holograms and photopolymer based resins.
Augmented reality company DAQRI has similarly explored such a technique printing a paperclip with holograms.
High speed sintering and NanoParticle Jetting
The Additive Manufacturing Conference will also feature speakers from companies in the 3D printing industry. These include Israeli company XJet and Nottingham based Xaar. Neil Hopkinson will speak regarding his company, Xaar’s high speed sintering technique.
Dror Danai is set to discuss XJet’s NanoParticle jetting technology. You can read more about Nano Particle Jetting in our interview with Dror Danai here.
Automotive and aerospace
Attendees will also hear from the latest advancements in functional 3D printing with delegates from Airbus, BMW and the European Space Agency. Airbus’ Jonathan Meyer will discuss how additive manufacturing will continue to evolve in the aerospace industry. Airbus recently completed 3D printed metal testing on the A380.
