Harnessing Emerging Technologies, Innovation And Demand-Driven Manufacturing In Today's Threat Context
Our Advanced Manufacturing conference is confirmed to take place in Bristol, on the 26-27 February 2025. Building on over a decade of success from our Additive Manufacturing conference, this event serves as an excellent platform for the exchange of knowledge and exploration of groundbreaking developments in this field. As the UK's largest aerospace cluster, with more users from the defence and space community, Bristol is once again the optimal location to bring all the stakeholders from the Advanced Manufacturing and 3D Printing ecosystem together to address the current challenges.
The evolving landscape of Advanced Manufacturing calls for greater efficiency, innovation, and risk reduction. Through collaboration, we can harness emerging technologies, enhance supply chain resilience, and gain critical insights into demand-driven production—especially relevant to today's threat environment.
During the conference, participants will engage in insightful presentations, thought-provoking panel discussions and engaging networking opportunities. In replacement of our Additive Manufacturing conference, this event conference will ensure an in-depth analysis on the full spectrum of Advanced Manufacturing, covering topics such as Digitalisation, Automation, Generative Design, Digital Twins, in addition to Additive Manufacturing.
With the global aerospace and defence additive manufacturing market predicted to grow to USD 13.01 billion in 2028, and increasing demand for lightweight parts and components, the need for novel AM techniques is at an all-time high.
New for 2025
Updates on AM efforts in space
Case studies from defence on the AM process for combat
Generate ideas, solve problems and explore opportunities in our highly interactive workshops run by leading AM providers
Key Themes Include:
Promotion of sustainability in additive manufacturing processes
Leveraging emerging AM technologies in process monitoring to maximise quality.
Post-production quality assurance ensuring that materials are checked in a way that is cost-effective
Procurement issues in deploying additive manufacturing solutions
The testing and qualification of structures built with additively-designed materials
Very valuable. We acquired a state-of-the-art understanding, not only of technologies but also of the data and documentation complexities and eco-system of the AM community
Excellent. Well balanced to reflect the wide spectre of AM applicability. For a starting company in this field this event has been valuable in particular with its applicability to automotive and power generating industries
Good cross-section of speakers, interesting inclusion of Space/satellite industry
It was a very valuable event, I will be attending any future events
