Greetings!

Welcome to the ASME India AM 3D Aero 2022 Technical Conference.

It gives us a great pleasure to invite you to participate and contribute to this event scheduled for December 8-9, 2022 in Bengaluru, India.

Additive Manufacturing is vital to advanced manufacturing and is a transformative technology enabling mass customization of products through self-learning environments. It offers substantial design flexibility and leads to substantial saving of time and cost in the industrial parlance particularly in aerospace and defense sectors.

In contrast to other industries, aerospace and strategic sector like defense have very stringent and unique set of requirements relating to materials, manufacturing, reliability, inspection, regulatory, traceability, and business considerations relating to production systems, supply-chain, etc,. It is therefore, imperative that the various stakeholders work together in a synergistic manner to drive these developments in a fast and efficient manner. These include engineers working in design, manufacturing & testing industry, scientists & engineers in industrial and academic research, regulatory institutions, supply-chain specialists, educationists and the engineering student who are our future workforce.

It is with above goal in mind, that we introduce the ASME India AM 3D Aero 2022 conference with a dedicated focus to additive manufacturing science, technology, practice, and trends relative to aerospace and defense applications.

The first edition of this annual conference will be held in the city of Bengaluru on December 8-9’ 2022. This is a not for profit technical conference, curated by the engineers & scientists for the engineers & scientists. The technical program will comprise of a series of invited talks providing in-depth account of various topics covering industry challenges, needs and best practices, academic research, supply-chain considerations, and development trends in materials, manufacturing, equipment, certification, education, sustainability.

The technical program will be supplemented by posters and exhibits on emerging R&D efforts within multiple players including OEMs in the aerospace and AM end users community, AM service providers, AM modeling and simulation resources, hardware developers etc., within various scientific and industrial organizations. This conference series will map and benchmark the high-value additive technologies into the industrial ecosystem supporting the aerospace and defense sectors. This conference marks the formation of an ASME Additive Manufacturing Advisory group in India. This group currently comprises of AM practitioners from leading OEMS in the Aerospace & Defense industry, top research organizations and premier academic institutes.
