Joint Welding and Joining Processes and NDT and Condition Monitoring Technical Groups Meeting: Additive Manufacture of High Integrity Components
The seminar will cover the latest advances in additive manufacture. Leading experts from industry and academia will make presentations on how AM can provide high integrity 3D printed components. 3D printing allied with AM enables complex shape components to be produced in a very short timescale. Rapid prototyping, manufacture of otherwise long-lead items such as forgings or castings and repair of in-service components are all possible in a timely and cost effective way.
Who should attend?
Welding engineers, designers, mechanical and production engineers, procurement and purchasing personnel.
This event is limited to a maximum of 60 attendees so early registration is essential.

Speakers
Dr Filomeno Martina
CEO
WAAM3D
Dr Filomeno Martina is the CEO of WAAM3D Ltd, a spin-out company of Cranfield University commercialising the Wire+Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process. Prior to this, he was Senior Lecturer in Additive Manufacturing at the Welding Engineering and Laser Processing Centre, Cranfield University, where he was the course director of the first MSc on Metal Additive Manufacturing in Europe. He is member of ISO/TC 261/JWG 5, BSI PAS 6010, 6011 and 6012, and AMS7002A.
He received his PhD in Additive Manufacturing from Cranfield University in 2014; the main focus of his doctoral research was the manipulation of geometry, microstructure and mechanical properties of large WAAM titanium deposits. Previously he earned an MSc also from Cranfield and an MEng in Industrial and Management Engineering from Polytechnic of Bari (Italy). He is the winner of the 2022 FAME Jr award, and has received further awards from BAE Systems (2010, 2018), Royal Aeronautical Society (2013), European Space Agency (2015), and The Welding Institute (2018). He counts >50 publications to his name since 2013.
