AILU EVENTS
16 March 2010 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.
19 May 2010 Recent development in laser sources and systems: meeting 21st century challenges in manufacturing
Concentrating on the many exciting developments that have occurred within the last two years, this workshop addresses technological developments in industrial-grade laser sources and systems. The importance of these developments will be illustrated in terms of new or improved real manufacturing processes and particular focus will be placed on what are termed the 21st century challenges in manufacturing: including power generation; transport with reduced CO2 impact; improved healthcare and quality of life, security and communications; high added value, flexible manufacturing.
8 June 2010 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.
23-25 March 2010 Pacific International Conference on Applications of Lasers and Optics (PICALO)
Pacific International Conference on Applications of Lasers and Optics (PICALO) focuses on the growth and application of lasers and optics in the Pacific region. PICALO brings together researchers, engineers, equipment suppliers and industry personnel to hear the latest developments and progress in lasers and applications and to share knowledge, experiences and visions. PICALO offers an exciting technical and social program in cities that represent laser growth in the Pacific region. PICALO features sessions on Laser Materials Processing and Micro, Nano and Ultrafast Fabrication as well as the International Enterprise Summit.
7 June 2010 MACH2010
MACH 2010 is the place to be if you want to see the latest in manufacturing technologies. Be it metalcutting, metal forming or associated technologies, services and equipment - MACH 2010 has it all.
8-10 June 2010 LASYS 2010
Lasys is the trade fair for system solutions in laser material processing which spans the areas of both materials and industry. With this unique direction, Lasys clearly differs from other laser technology trade fairs and is creating a unique window for the display of metallic and non-metallic material processing.
8-10 June 2010 Subcon - the International Subcontract Manufacturing Show
Subcon delivers the key decision makers you want to meet. It reflects the world they inhabit, it responds to the issues that most concern them and provides the contacts, resources, insights and information they want…
AILU - MEMBER EVENTS
19-20 May 2010 ESPACE LASER
ESPACE LASER, the international trade show for materials and laser techniques in industry. ESPACE LASER is the unique event in France specifically dedicated to laser industrial processes. It is organized by IREPA LASER, in partnership with Air Liquide and Club Laser et Procédés.
