Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2026

The increasing demand for developing lightweight liquid hydrogen (LH₂) storage systems, particularly for aviation applications, has intensified the need for reliable multi-material structures capable of operating under cryogenic conditions. While stainless steel is commonly used for LH₂ tanks due to its excellent cryogenic performance, hybrid concepts combining stainless steel and aluminium...

Simulation has become an essential tool for understanding and optimizing
additive manufacturing (AM) processes. In Binder Jetting, part quality is
dictated to a large extent by the powder bed itself: local packing density,
layer homogeneity, and surface roughness directly govern binder penetration,
green-part integrity, and final density after sintering. Yet the recoating
step remains...

Thermo-mechanical simulation of Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) requires calibration against measured displacement, but the common practice of tuning a single Strain Scaling Factor (SSF) applies one constant to the entire strain field and cannot reproduce the localized displacement caused by non-uniform thermal contraction. We present an active-learning framework for multi-parameter inverse...

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) produces complex metal alloy geometries and ready-to-use prototypes for industrial applications; However, this geometric freedom still depends heavily on preparation expertise and process tuning to achieve a successful first print. Among the failures that are induced by the manufacturing process cracks are especially critical, as they can lead to part rejection...
