Attendees will reportedly have the opportunity to hear from policy makers, industry leaders and manufacturing researchers who will provide insights into the future of mobility through presentations and real-world technology demonstrators: from machining thin wall aerostructures and the Additive Manufacturing of satellite components, through to the design of joints containing dissimilar materials and more.

Sectors and technologies covered by the conference programme will include:

  • Additive Manufacturing
  • Aerospace
  • Automotive
  • Construction
  • Rail
  • Space
  • Composites manufacturing
  • Machining
