Powering the Possible in Additive Manufacturing & Advanced Materials

Formerly known as the Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) Forum, this programme has been refined for 2025 as the AM² Forum, reflecting a renewed focus on Additive Manufacturing & Advanced Materials.

The updated format puts application front and centre with sessions build around real case studies, measurable benefits, and engineering-ready technology being used across sectors.

Here’s a little sneak peek of the sessions!

  • Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing: Opportunities and Challenges
  • Smart Materials in Action: Adaptive, Responsive & Functional
  • High-Performance Materials for Extreme Environments
  • Digital Materials Science: Accelerating Production through AI and Simulation
