AM conference scheduled for 24 May at Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington

A technology day on additive manufacturing powders is being hosted by Freeman Technology, LPW Technology and Malvern Instruments.

The £50, one-day event will provide guidance on selecting powders for additive manufacturing and introduces powder characterisation technology required for AM applications.

In addition to presentations, there will also be two hours of practical demonstrations.

The conference organisers say: “Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is a transformative and potentially highly efficient manufacturing technique. There is a wide range of AM processes and each demands a high degree of consistency in the feedstock in order to guarantee final product quality. A comprehensive understanding of feedstock powders is therefore essential for achieving high productivity and optimising efficiency.”
