  The Route to Mass Adoption of Additive Manufacture in Metal Component Fabrication
  AILU one-day additive manufacturing technology workshop with presentations, an exhibition and tour. The UK has a thriving community in Additive Manufacturing (AM) and this event will provide an insight into current developments in research and their future impact. We have brought specialists in materials together with commercial users and researchers in laser and non-laser AM technologies, and the day will include lots of opportunities for discussion and questioning. Delegates will be able to assess the different processes, latest developments in commercially available systems, the products and applications for which AM can be exploited and the potential benefits of AM technology to their organisation in addressing today’s manufacturing challenges.

  21st Century Applications of Power Photonics
  “21st Century Applications of Power Photonics” Power Photonics technology is playing an increasingly important role in manufacturing and 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the first working laser, developed by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Lab in 1960. Initially a wonder of science and then an industrial tool the rate of development of laser sources and applications continues unabated. This seminar concentrates on 21st century manufacturing needs, singling out recent applications that illustrate the scope and potential of the laser revolution.

  The growing role of lasers in 21st Century manufacturing
  Laser materials processing is the most flexible technology available to modern manufacturing and in this presentation we will review current laser technology and how it is being used for a wide range of industrial processes including cutting, drilling, marking, welding and additive manufacturing. The presentation will be accompanied by examples of how and why lasers are used for manufacture of items from the micro-technology of mobile phones up to ocean going liners. We will also address the important role that laser technology will play in meeting some of the challenges of the 21st century, including energy generation, low carbon vehicles, healthcare and bioscience and high value manufacturing.
