Aerospace Additive Manufacturing Summit 2023: experts discuss short-term trends, sustainability, and more

The 4^th Aerospace Additive Manufacturing Summit (AAMS), an international event dedicated to Additive Manufacturing in aerospace, is set to take place September 20-21 in Toulouse, France. Over the course of two days, AAMS will bring professionals, experts, and innovators from around the world to the MEETT exhibition and convention centre to discuss technological advancements, opportunities, and challenges in aerospace Additive Manufacturing.

The AAMS in 2021 brought together over 500 participants and 200 companies from 20 countries. This year’s event will feature several high-level panels and thematic workshops led by experts from industry, research, and Aerospace Valley. Additionally, there will be opportunities for B2B meetings to maximise collaboration opportunities.

The conference will provide discussions on short-term market trends, large format Additive Manufacturing, new materials, decarbonisation, and the impact of Additive Manufacturing on MRO activities. The agenda includes:
