The European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) says that its additive manufacturing (AM) seminar, which took place this April in Bremen, Germany, was a success.
The seminar was hosted by Fraunhofer IFAM and organized by the European Additive Manufacturing Group (EAMG), part of the EPMA. Some 56 delegates from throughout Europe attended the two-day course, which benefitted from the expertise of 10 speakers drawn from both academia and industry.
Topics covered included:
- Technology overview, Claus Aumund-Kopp, Fraunhofer IFAM
- Part design, Peter Sander, Airbus
- Software, Dr Schillen of Materialise
- Metal powders for ALM, Keith Murray, Sandvik Osprey
- Machine operation, Rémi Allain, Poly-Shape
- Additive design & manufacturing – products of tomorrow, Robert Vaeth. FIT Production
- Quality control/product testing, Tim Domagala of Materialise
- Standards, Klas Boivi, Sandvik AB and
- Case studies, Campbell Pegg, OHB System AG
Participants also had the opportunity to visit three AM facilities: Materialise, BEGO and IFAM. Details of next year’s course will be available on the EPMA website in the autumn.
