LECTURE

Qualifying 3D Additive Technology to Meet Future Mobility Concepts

The aviation market (defense and commercial) is a risk mitigation industry and designers must have material property data (material strength data) so components can be designed without the fear of failure.

This 30-minute presentation will provide a high-level review of why process / material characterization for 3D printing needs to be performed at all elements of the supply chain.

Discussions will be had on the alloys currently in production and what alloys are being considering for production.

The speaker will also address what actions being taken by SLM Solutions in conjunction with North American universities and government agencies to help expedite material characterization for industry.
