International Conference on
Additive Manufacturing

Tuesday 10th & Wednesday 11th July, 2012

New Venue for 2012!

Though the conference remains fully a Loughborough University event, the growth in delegate numbers over the past 6-years, and the use of Loughborough University facilities for the 2012 Olympic games has necessitated a move to a larger venue, which we have happily found in the local region. The 2012  International Conference on Additive Manufacturing will therefore now take place at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel, which is situated just a short distance from Nottingham City Centre and is easily accessible from junction 26 of the M1 motorway. The move to the Nottingham Belfry Hotel offers us supremely high quality conference facilities and four star accommodation all under one roof.

The 7th International Conference on Additive Manufacturing (AM) will focus on research and application of additive manufacturing for the production of end-use components, including process, materials, design and software development together with supply chain and management issues. To maintain it's position as the leading global conference on additive manufacturing, the 2012 event will feature a strong lineup of invited academic and industrial speakers from around the world.

The conference will be hosted by the world leading "Additive Manufacturing Research Group" at Loughborough University and is anticipated to attract an audience of over 200 international delegates.

As in previous years, the conference will also play host to the ASTM F42 International Standards Group, which is working on the development of dedicated standards for the AM sector. The group meeting, which will take place after the close of the conference on Wednesday 11th July and continue throughout Thursday 12th July, is open to all conference delegates free of charge.
