• Unbeatable networking opportunities with leaders in the field, from academia, engineering and top companies, who are driving forward new applications and improved solutions
• A place at the networking drinks reception on day 1 – an ideal time to develop contacts throughout the industry in an informal setting.
• Opportunity to take a tour of the University of Nottingham’s world-leading Centre for Additive Manufacturing – see the world-class facilities on offer in this state of the art laboratory as well as interact with the researchers and academics who have developed the capability.

Agenda

Introducing the UK’s aerospace additive manufacturing strategy

Thursday 11th July 3:45 pm – 4:15 pm

The Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) defines the technology strategy for UK aerospace aiming to transform the sector through technology and innovation. To date, the ATI programme represents a total investment of £3.6bn between industry and government (£1.9bn grant) spanning 417 projects. Recently the ATI launched the creation of an updated strategy and roadmap for additive manufacturing (AM), led by the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) the roadmap identifies the key challenges to wider AM adoption and industrialisation in the UK aerospace sector. This presentation will introduce the new AM roadmap, outlining the key themes, opportunities and way forward.
