PANEL DISCUSSION #1 - HARNESSING THE POTENTIAL FOR METAL AM IN TRANSPORTATION

In this panel, we will discuss the potential of metal AM processes in transportation. Speakers will delve into how to harness the potential of 3D printing in the sector.

Moderator: Lorenzo Gasparoni - Schematics & Apparatus Leader (Alstom)

Speakers: Henri De Chassey - Spares & Trading Additive Manufacturing ENG Manager (WABTEC Corporation), Nanzhu Zhao, R&D Manager Technical Center North America (Nissan), Peter Rosker, Business Development Manager (Conflux Technology)

WORKSHOP #1 - CUT COSTS, NOT CORNERS: REDUCE WASTE, MINIMIZE ERRORS, AND MAXIMIZE ROI IN METAL AM

Discover how advanced 3D Printing software automates support generation to cut iterations, reduce costs, and enhance part quality — all while streamlining processes, minimizing errors, and improving build success through simulation of the metal AM process to catch failures before they happen.

Speaker: Jeremy Leveq, Application Engineer (Materialise)

NETWORKING

PANEL DISCUSSION #2 - HOW TO OPTIMIZE THE METAL AM WORKFLOW

Our experts will discuss which measures improve the workflow, how errors can be detected at an early stage and how metal 3D printing production can be optimized.

Moderator: Stefan Ritt, CEO & Founder (AM-3D printing market integration)

Speakers: David Ramirez - Business Development Manager (HOWCO Additive Manufacturing), Giovanni Rizza - Associate researcher Integrated Additive Manufacturing (Politecnico di Torino), Rachel E. Zilz - Mechanical Systems Design & Analysis Engineering (Boeing)

WORKSHOP #2 - UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF MULTI-MATERIAL MANUFACTURING: ADVANCEMENTS IN DED 3D PRINTING AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

Advancements in Multi-Material Manufacturing with Directed Energy Deposition (DED) have greatly enhanced AM capabilities in sophisticated processes like In-Situ Alloying, bi-metal fabrication, Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs), Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs), and High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) for applications in maritime, space, medical and more. This presentation will emphasize current capabilities and future opportunities in Multi-Material Manufacturing.

Speaker: Seunghwan Lim, Director, InssTek

NETWORKING

PANEL DISCUSSION #3 - HOW TO CREATE LIGHTWEIGHT PARTS WITH METAL AM: MATERIAL RESTRICTIONS AND DESIGN CHALLENGES

Lightweight construction translates into material savings and cost savings. But what framework conditions need to be taken into account?

Moderator: Dr. Martin White - Director – Technical Operations, Global Advanced Manufacturing Division (ASTM)

Speakers: Sherri Monroe - Executive Director (AMGTA), Mike York - Director of Additive Mfg. & Digital Design (Eaton Aerospace), Ilana Lu - Materials Engineer, AST (Nasa)

WORKSHOP #3 - ELEVATING METAL AM COMPONENTS: BENEFITS OF HOT ISOSTATIC PRESSING (HIP) FOR ENHANCED QUALITY AND DURABILITY

The synergy of metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a vital post-process for ensuring the integrity of metal components in critical sectors like aerospace and automotive. Through examples, we'll explore how this combination optimizes microstructures, eliminates defects, and enhances mechanical properties. Discover how AM and HIP are redefining high-performance engineering.

Speaker: Óscar Meabe - Materials Engineer HIP (Hiperbaric)

1:15 - 1:30 PM

ADDITIV CLOSES ITS DOORS

(7:15 - 7:30 PM)

ADDITIV Metals World is an international virtual event focusing on the role and influence of metals in additive manufacturing. The goal? Half a day dedicated to panel discussions, workshops and networking to bring together the main players working in metal 3D printing.

Join us for the 1st edition of the show on May 22nd, 2025 from 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM EDT/3:00 PM - 7:30 PM CEST to delve into everything from metal production to industrialization and more!
