About
The ASTM International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ASTM ICAM 2023) will be held Oct. 30 – Nov. 3, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency – Capitol Hill (Washington, D.C., USA). The conference is hosted by the ASTM International Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) and supported by more than a dozen ASTM technical committees.
ICAM 2023 is ASTM’s eighth annual flagship event related to standardization, qualification, and certification with a focus on industry-specific requirements addressing the entire advanced manufacturing processes and value chains. The conference will consist of 26 symposia covering major topics and key areas in additive and advanced manufacturing. ICAM is organized by more than 100 scientific committee members, all advanced manufacturing experts from industry, academia, government and regulatory agencies, national labs, and more.
This conference addresses application specific requirements of various industry sectors in addition to covering the fundamentals of advanced manufacturing processes with the goal of transitioning research to application through standardization. Industry, academia, and government agency professionals in the AM community are invited to address the current and future state of:
- Industry standards
- Design principles
- Qualification and certification
- Innovations in the industry
- Materials and processes
- Data management, sharing, analysis, and beyond
Building upon the success of the previous events, and new breadth of topics covered, ICAM 2023 will involve more ASTM committees and external stakeholders, expanding its overall topic related to additive and advanced manufacturing. ICAM sets the stage to bring experts from around the world to exchange the latest developments in the field of advanced manufacturing with emphasis on the transition of research to application.

Participating students will:
- Submit abstract by March 1
- Receive notification of acceptance by May 10
- Submit a recording of their 15 minute presentation for preliminary judging by June 16 (instructions and template will be provided with notification of acceptance)
- Register to attend ICAM at a discounted rate
Participating students will receive:
- Discounted registration fee to attend conference sessions and social events to network with AM experts from academia, industry, and government
- One year free membership in ASTM International
Student presentations will be judged by a select group of Scientific Organizing Committee members on the quality of presentation, technical content presented, and adherence to the instructions provided. The first, second, and third place winners will be announced during the ICAM 2023 Awards Ceremony and presented with plaques and cash prizes.
The number of students approved for this competition will depend on the quality of the submitted abstracts. Please make sure to submit your abstract only to the student competition symposium for consideration.
