The third Workshop on Additive Manufacturing (WAM2024) took place at Grenoble's European Photon and Neutron Campus, where both the ESRF and the ILL are located. Like in the previous editions, the goal was to join industry and large scale facilities to discuss on the latest advances in the use of neutrons and X-rays at large-scale facilities for the additive manufacturing sector.
The workshop included sessions on space, industry and standardisation, on situ/operando monitoring and modelling, as well as opportunities for longer discussions and network building. The participants had also the opportunity to visit ILL and ESRF.
Among the participant institutions were Fraunhofer IWS, ArcelorMittal, IDONIAL Centro Tecnológico, Danish Technological Institute, PSI-Paul Scherrer Institut, Los Alamos National Laboratory, IMDEA Materials Insitute, École Polytechnique, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Materials Institute of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), ESA-European Space Agency, and more.
WAM2024 was held in conjunction with the ILL-ESRF Residual Stress School, which took place directly after WAM2024, on the 25-26th April.The school introduced participants to state-of-the-art techniques in neutron and synchrotron strain/stress characterisation.
The events were organised by the ILL-Institut Laue Langevin and the ESRF- he European Synchrotron with the support of EASI-STRESS, European Activity for standardisation and residual stress characterisation.
