In addition, speakers from Oxford Space Systems (Didcot, U.K.), Toray Advanced Composites (Morgan Hill, Calif., U.S.), SHD Composites (Mooresville, N.C., U.S.) CRP Technology (Modena, Italy) and Haydale (Holmes Chapel, U.K.) will be joined by the University of Manchester and the University of Nottingham to highlight projects and case studies in the sector.

Sponsored by R&R Space (Montijo, Portugal) and TISICS (Farnborough, U.K.), the event is intended for innovators, suppliers and investors who are interested in hearing about the latest material developments and how to access funding opportunities.

Opportunities are still available to exhibit, attend or submit an abstract: visit spaceamcon.com for more information and to register.

“Additive manufacturing is nothing short of a revolution and its applicability doesn’t stop here on Earth. From CubeSats to interplanetary missions we’ll be talking about how to make the most of additive manufacturing advantages from here on out,” says Tony Mears, technology roadmapping and harmonization lead.

Siobhan Longhurst, events and communications director at Fluency Marketing, adds, “This exciting sector continues to be an area of high interest and growth globally. We’re looking forward to hearing from speakers and attendees about how the sky is no longer the limit.”
