Additive Manufacturing Benchmarks 2018 (AM-Bench 2018) (6. 18-21, 2018 * Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA)

* Website: AM-Bench 2018

Additive Manufacturing Benchmarks 2018 (AM-Bench 2018) is the first in a series of events focused on validating and improving the accuracy of model predictions and developing universally accepted quantitative measurement approaches for all additive manufacturing (AM) materials and methods.

By addressing a critical barrier to widespread adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, the AM-Bench measurements and associated conference series will make a significant impact on the global additive manufacturing community. AM researchers, practitioners, end-users, modelers, and vendors are invited to contribute to the outcomes of AM-Bench 2018 as follows:

  • Present your latest work as part of the AM-Bench 2018 Benchmark Measurement and Modeling Symposium that examines quantitative measurements, state-of-the-art models, end user modeling needs, and future directions.
  • Participate in the AM-Bench 2018 benchmark challenges, encompassing both metals and polymers. Simulation results are due by the May 18, 2018, deadline.
  • Attend AM-Bench 2018 to learn about the current state-of-the-art measurements and models, provide input into future benchmark tests, and network with your customers and AM experts.
