Additive 2024 hybrid symposium publishes technical programme

Event organiser Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde eV (DGM) has released the preliminary programme for Additive 2024 – 4^th Symposium on Materials and Additive Manufacturing, scheduled to take place June 12-14. The event will take place in-person in Berlin and Bremen, Germany, and online.

The symposium will highlight trends and innovations in Additive Manufacturing in the area of materials science, covering a broad spectrum of methods, including Laser and Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB and PBF-EB, respectively), Binder Jetting, and Direct Energy Deposition.

Each session will be available both live and on-demand, ensuring comprehensive access to symposium content.

The following topics will be covered:

Topics in Bremen and online:

• AM processing of titanium, aluminium, nickel-based alloys, copper and other metallic metals
• Mechanical properties of parts and assurance of their reproducibility
• In-situ heat treatment, post-heat treatment and mechanical post-processing
• Microstructure evolution and its influence on material properties
• New alloys for metal Additive Manufacturing
• Graded properties of additively manufactured parts
• Multi-material AM
• Powder development and recycling aspects
• Simulation-based development of AM processes and materials
• Formation and effects of defects

Topics in Berlin and online:

• Process monitoring and process quality assurance
• Non-destructive testing (NDT) and part quality assurance
• Mechanical properties of parts and assurance of their reproducibility
• Microstructure evolution and its influence on material properties

A special highlight for the on-site participants in Berlin is the tour of the Federal Institute for Materials Research (BAM) on the afternoon of June 13th. This is a unique opportunity to gain insight into BAM’s research work in the field of Additive Manufacturing technologies.
