Snapshot Workshop

BACK TO ALL EVENTS 8th Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence

March 28, 2022

About

Theme: AM Post-processing, Inspection, and Qualification

This one-day workshop, held at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO, will provide a comprehensive snapshot of the AM value chain, emphasizing post-processing, inspection, and qualification. The workshop gives a holistic view on advancement in post-processing techniques that expedites the release of AM parts, analyzing the impact of surface conditions on mechanical properties, NDE methods for in-process and post-process inspection, and qualification approaches for materials, process, and parts for different applications.

The 7th Snapshot Workshop also covers gaps in AM standardization for the topics mentioned above and the research initiatives from AM CoE partners to address the gaps.

Who Should Attend
This workshop is open to all AM professionals, including industry (aerospace, medical, automotive, energy, and defense), academia, and government agency representatives who want to learn about the latest AM standardized practices and the research and development initiatives.

Why You Should Attend
The speakers in this workshop are experts from industry sectors who lead the research and innovation in additive manufacturing. This gives a unique opportunity for the participants to understand more about the best standardized practices and participate in the interactive presentations and panel discussions. Each session is designed with a focus on industry needs and the role that standards can play in driving innovation.
