Overview

Organised by the Institution's Pressure Systems members group, this seminar will provide delegates with a unique opportunity to learn about the dynamic developments of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the UK and the main applications for the pressure systems industry going forward.

The rate of development within the AM industry has surpassed all expectations. However, we are now at a point where design codes have been rewritten to include their use and component manufacture systems are more readily available, with materials that can be tested and certified for use in live applications.

This one day live seminar will cover all aspects of AM from initial concepts and concept R&D through to final application and in-service management. It is intended as a ‘state of the nation’ for AM in the pressure systems sector and will provide an overview of "What’s New" and "What’s Around the Corner".

Presentations will be delivered by AM experts from key industry, regulatory and academic bodies to ensure a holistic range of perspectives. This seminar is a unique opportunity. It is the only place to access such a broad and deep pool of knowledge, equipping you and your organisation with the insights to harness and benefit from this rapidly emerging technology.

Make the most of your online experience by joining the interactive panel discussions, giving you the chance to pose your questions to the experts in “real-time” and to get tailored feedback to specific queries. The early bird ends September 30, so book now to secure your place at the only event on Additive Manufacturing tailored to the Pressure Systems sector.

Stewart Williams: Professor of Welding Science and Engineering, Cranfield University

Prior to commencing at Cranfield University Professor Williams was at BAE Systems Advanced Technology Centre for nearly 20 years. Here he managed a research group investigating mainly laser based manufacturing processes for aerospace and defence applications. This included micro-machining, drilling of fine holes, surface treatments and welding. He was responsible for development of a laser based wire marking method from which a company was set up to exploit the technology. He was also heavily involved in development and qualification of friction stir welding for Airbus. Previously he was a development engineer at a small company, Edinburgh Instruments where he initially worked on CO2 waveguide lasers and their accessories. Subsequently he developed laser systems for resistor trimming and medical applications. Professor Williams obtained a degree in physics and a PhD in laser physics from Royal Holloway College at the University of London.

Adrian Addison: Programme Manager, Arc Processes, Fabrication and Welding Engineering Section, TWI

Adrian Addison works in the Arc Processes and Welding Engineering Section at TWI. He has been working in research and development of additive manufacture – primarily with Directed energy Deposition with Arc (DED-arc) often known as Wire Arc Additive Manufacture (WAAM) since 2014. He has coordinated several collaborative projects with diverse sponsor groups, managed focussed research for individual clients, coordinated many of TWI’s cross cutting internal research efforts and mentored post-graduate students and researchers. His aim is to ensure maximum value and progress is made across the additive manufacturing technology spectrum and adoption into industry spreads a quickly and widely as possible. Areas of research at TWI currently include active process development, deposited material properties and performance, in-process and post-process non-destructive evaluation and advanced numerical modelling. In addition to active research, Adrian contributes to BS, EN, ISO/ASTM and ASME committees developing standards for safe application, qualification and coordination of additive manufacturing and associated processes. Prior to AM, Adrian gained extensive experience in developing and applying emerging joining technology in applications from below the sea floor to outer space. He also has 20 years’ experience in industrial series manufacture for aerospace, automotive, oil and gas and general engineering companies.

Professor David Nash: Director of Industry Engagement, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of Strathclyde

After spending several years with a vessel fabricator, Prof Nash joined the department as a researcher where he gained an MSc and PhD working on local load and saddle support contact problems. He has interests in bolted joints, buckling and impact analysis and broader applications of finite element design-by-analysis. He has written over 120 papers and six books on the subject. Professor Nash is a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (2006) and has been an ASME member since 1987. He is Vice Chair of the Pressure Systems Group. He is the former UK national representative to EPERC, the European Pressure Equipment Research Council. He chairs the British Standards Design Methods committee for PD5500, the UK pressure vessel code and chaired the 13th International Conference on Pressure Vessel Technology ICPVT-13 in London 2012.
