AM CoE Workshop

Advancing Additive Manufacturing, Spain: Workshop on Standardization, Qualification & Certification

June 02, 2025

Time: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm CEST

About the Workshop

As additive manufacturing (AM) accelerates toward industrial-scale adoption, the need for robust standards, rigorous qualification pathways, and trusted certification protocols has never been greater.

To tackle this challenge, join us in radiant Linares, Spain for a one-day workshop, hosted in collaboration with ASTM International and the University of Jaén. In a city where tradition and technology quietly intertwine, the “Advancing Additive Manufacturing: Workshop on Standardization, Qualification & Certification” workshop brings together leading experts from industry, academia, and government to explore the state-of-the-art in AM standardization, qualification, and certification.

Set in the heart of Andalusia, Linares was once a mining powerhouse. Today, it is emerging as a hub for advanced engineering and research—anchored by the Higher Polytechnic School of the University of Jaén, which blends over a century of technical tradition with cutting-edge facilities on a modern scientific-technological campus.

Whether you’re a researcher, engineer, or policymaker, this interactive forum will equip you with the insights and tools needed to shape the future of AM implementation in high-stakes industries.

 

What to Expect

Participants will:

  • Explore the latest in AM processes, terminology, and standards development
  • Gain insights into current challenges in qualification and certification
  • Engage directly with global leaders from industry and academia
  • Identify research needs and emerging best practices
  • Walk away with actionable strategies for incorporating standards into R&D and production
