The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF), Princeton, N.J., announces the inaugural conference on Additive Manufacturing with Powder Metallurgy (AMPM), May 18-20, 2014, at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, Orlando, Florida. This specialized conference will be co-located with the PM2014 World Congress on Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials and the Tungsten, Refractory & Hardmaterials Conference, which will all be taking place under one roof in Orlando.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object by adding successive layers of material rather than by removing material by conventional methods such as cutting or drilling. The conference will focus on AM with powder metallurgy. Cochairmen Gregory Morris, GE Aviation; and Joseph Strauss, HJE Company Inc., anticipate that presentations will include the perspective of metal powder producers, toll providers. Speakers will also include end-users of these processes, R&D programs from academia and consortiums, and equipment manufacturers. Expected topics will include materials, applications, technical barriers, process economics, and new developments.
Delegates will have the option to register for AMPM only, or to register for the PM2014 World Congress and Tungsten Conference and still participate in the AMPM events. AMPM will take place at the beginning of the World Congress week, Sunday-Tuesday, while other events will continue through Thursday.
