ABU DHABI, 7th April, 2023 (WAM) — Following the resounding success of its inaugural symposium last year, the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a leading global scientific research center and applied research pillar of the Abu Dhabi Advanced Technology Research Council ( ATRC) has announced that the Additive Manufacturing team at its Advanced Materials Research Center (AMRC) will hold its second “The Future of Additive Manufacturing” workshop this year.
The second year of the seminar, which is expected to become an annual fixture in Abu Dhabi Manufacturing, will take place on April 27 at the W Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
Additive Manufacturing the Future 2023 will bring together global additive manufacturing and 3D printing experts, industry giants and relevant stakeholders for comprehensive dialogue and expert-level exchanges on various breakthrough technologies in this field. The seminar will highlight key challenges and opportunities facing the industry and discuss emerging trends that are shaping and empowering this nascent industry.
Additive manufacturing, also commonly referred to as 3D printing, has recently emerged as a top contender to traditional advanced manufacturing techniques in industries such as aerospace, automotive, space, biomedical, oil and gas, and tooling.
A robust workshop agenda will cover four important topics – Design for Additive Manufacturing, Materials for Additive Manufacturing and their sustainability, Manufacturing Process and Post-processing, and finally Industrial Applications of Additive Manufacturing, including successful and influential Use cases, standardization, certification, IP issues related to additive manufacturing.
Dr. Nesma Aboulkhair, Director of Additive Manufacturing at the Center for Advanced Materials Research, will host the opening session on “Unlocking the Potential of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing”. She will be joined by Josefine Lissner, CEO and founder of Leap 71 in the UAE, and Lin Kaiser, founder of Hyperganic, in a session titled “Creating the Future of Human Physics through Computational Engineering and Integrated Digital Manufacturing – or – From Code to Aerospike”.
Other prominent speakers confirmed for the workshop include Dr Wesley Cantwell, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Khalifa University, Dr Aijun Hwang, Director of the Monash Center for Additive Manufacturing, Dr Federico Bosio, Senior Research Fellow at TII AMRC, Senior Associate EMEA at EOS Global President Dr. Markus Glassner. Daniel France, Director of Global Sales and Business Development at BEAMIT SpA; Pawan Kumar Chandana, Co-Founder of Skyroot Aerospace; and Dr. Alberto Bordin, Head of Additive Manufacturing Technologies, ASTM Center of Excellence, will also lead dedicated sessions. Barrie Finnin, Chief Technology Officer and General Manager of AMAERO Additive Manufacturing Australia, a company working with entities in the UAE to strengthen the additive manufacturing sector here, will also hold a session on ‘Understanding the Cost Drivers of Metal Additive Manufacturing’ .
Commenting on expectations for the upcoming workshop, Dr Nesma Aboulkhair said: “Additive Manufacturing is a relatively new entrant to the UAE’s manufacturing scene and events like this broaden our knowledge of this unique and fast-paced discipline. In addition, they also help to accelerate the discovery of transformative solutions that will benefit the UAE and the rest of the world. This workshop provides an important platform for strategic synergies in Additive Manufacturing R&D and will undoubtedly elevate TII’s credibility as a leading center of knowledge, collaboration and technical expertise in additive manufacturing in the UAE and beyond.”
Hend Alqaydi, Materials Science Engineer, Additive Manufacturing Team, added: “We have an excellent line-up of speakers whose extensive experience and skills will certainly add tremendous value, enabling attendees to adopt Additive Manufacturing in their business operations. Additionally, Together, academicians can explore potential new areas of research collaboration to deepen their insights into additive manufacturing, strengthening TII’s leadership in developing innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.”
