About the Workshop
Join us on Monday, September 22, 2025, at the stunning Marriott Grand Ballroom in Metro Manila, Philippines, for an immersive day of learning, discussion, and discovery. This edition of ASTM’s Snapshot Workshop series focuses on building foundational knowledge and practical insight into additive manufacturing (AM)—from materials and design to certification and real-world applications.
Hosted in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology – Advanced Manufacturing Center (DOST-AMCen), this workshop marks a milestone in the Philippines’ growing engagement with global advanced manufacturing standards and technologies. Set against Manila’s vibrant cultural backdrop, it offers a unique opportunity to explore the real-world impact of AM in sectors such as defense, medical, maritime, oil & gas, and construction—areas of increasing interest in the region.
Through a series of technical talks and a collaborative panel discussion, attendees will gain practical exposure to the current state of AM technology and how it is being adopted across industries. Whether you’re a technical expert, policymaker, or AM newcomer, you’ll leave with fresh insight—and new collaborators.
Come for the content, stay for the connections.
