Additive manufacturing in metals – European pilot-line perspective

Twenty European partners have cooperated since 2018 in the Horizon 2020 funded MANUELA project, coordinated by Chalmers University of Technology, to develop comprehensive metal additive manufacturing pilot line services. The goal of the project was to provide European industry with an accessible world-class pilot line manufacturing service for additive manufacturing in metals (PBF-LB,PBF-EB), reaching from design and simulation to post-processing and qualification.

At the Final Conference on February 9 you will take part of:

• Presentations of the outcome from the project
• Success stories – from space technology to medical devices
• Panel discussions
• The Pilot Line Production Services

During the afternoon you will get a workshop tour of the Application Center for Additive Manufacturing at RISE. You will also get the opportunity to network with partners from the project, experts on AM and colleagues in the industry.

Practical information

• The Final Conference starts at Chalmers, address Chalmers Tvärgata 4C, Gothenburg.
• After lunch a bus will take you to RISE where the programme continues.
• The day ends with an optional dinner at RISE. A bus will take you to Göteborg city center after the dinner.
• It is possible to participate digitally via Zoom during the morning session at 9:00-12:00 am. 

The Conference, as well as lunch and dinner are free of charge.
