We are pleased to announce that the second NSERC HI-AM Conference will be held in the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC on June 26-27, 2019. The conference will explore the obstacles to industrial adoption of metal additive manufacturing under 4 themes: 1. Material Development Tailored with Optimum Process Parameters 2. Advanced Process Modeling and Coupled Component/Process Design 3. In-line Monitoring/Metrology and Intelligent Process Control Strategies 4. Innovative AM processes and AM-made Products If you have any inquiries, please contact Farzad Liravi at fliravi@uwaterloo.ca.

NSERC grant in support for HI-AM Network was announced on Aug 10, 2018 by the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Sport and Dr. Marc Fortin, Vice-President, Research Partnerships, NSERC during a visit to Promation. Read the full story here.

All HI-AM Network participants meet once a year to present their research findings to the other research teams within the Network and the representatives of our industrial partners. Hosted by a different institution each year, the conference provides a great networking opportunity for the graduate students and PDFs to get to know their colleagues – future additive manufacturing experts of Canada! The 2018 conference will focus on Material Development for Metal-based AM, Advanced AM Process Modeling, Novel AM Techniques and Process Optimization, and will feature 6 sessions with 18 verbal and 14 poster presentations.
