2017 Conference Agenda

We have prepared a busy learning schedule for this year’s conference, with three different tracks for Day 2, as well as pre-conference short courses and post-conference tours. 

Transportation: For those staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, a shuttle will be provided between the hotel and conference events. The shuttle will leave the hotel for the conference venue starting at 7:30 a.m., and will make several trips to accommodate everyone. The shuttle will make several return trips to the hotel after the conference between 5-6 p.m. each day.

 

Pre-Conference Short Courses

Discuss various additive manufacturing techniques including flame spraying, cold spray 3D printing and additive and subtractive laser deposition techniques and how they can be used to refurbish components.
