Metal Additive Manufacturing Symposium in April

Metal AMS -13 & 14 April 2022-The 1st edition of the International Metal Additive Manufacturing Symposium at Cetim, France.

Metal AMS is the first French symposium 100% dedicated to the Metal Additive Manufacturing technologies. Organized by the French Metal AM community in collaboration with major R&D players from around the world, it addresses every step of the AM value chain. This first edition will focus on European areas of expertise including: Design, Materials, Simulation, direct and sintered-base Processes, Monitoring and Control/Qualification challenges.

Program: https://metal-ams.com/program/

The whole event will accessible from Senlis (Near Paris), France, as well as online, with replays for those not available.

Expected Outcome: Optimised lightweight designs often require the use of multi-materials, often with different physical properties, such as polymers composites and metals. The manufacturing of multimaterial structures is thus a challenging task and many industries are today addressing specific critical challenges that come with mixing of materials. It is of great importance that multimaterial design is analysed from a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective where all aspects from design to manufacturing, use and recycling are included in the process. This will help industry make the change from traditional design based on one material to multi-material design of lightweight structures.

Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

Contribute to energy efficiency, increase competitiveness of new multi-materials items and multi-functional materials and products for a wide range of applications in the additive manufacturing industries and in specific industrial sectors e.g. transport including aeronautic, and maritime, consumer customised goods, communications, biomaterials, health and energy;
Develop optimised structures in terms of operational performance and weight with a goal of reducing weight by 50% compared to traditional designs;
Reduced lead-time of multimaterial products of 20% compared to today's design of multimaterial products that creates an increased competitiveness for the EU's industry;
Strengthening of the EU's manufacturing industry through the intensive implementation of innovative and unconventional technologies along the EU's manufacturing value chain;
Combine materials with high uniformity and with high mobility in industrial quantities with high reproducible quality;
Increase of the product performance by at least 30% whilst retaining the product price;
Dissemination of the challenges and benefits of functional multi-material components and structures in the relevant industrial sectors.

Scope: By combining several materials, proposals should advance the state of the art through the development of ready assembled multifunctional devices. The role of new development in additive manufacturing processes with dissimilar materials will be of importance.
