ASTM International Conference on Additive Manufacturing (ASTM ICAM 2020)
Dr. Shamsaei Co-Chairs the ASTM International Conference on Additive Manufacturing (ASTM ICAM 2020)
16 - 20 NOV 2020
Objective: As additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are adopted by various industries, establishing feedstock-process-structure-property-performance relationships becomes essential for qualification and certification of parts in safety critical applications. This conference will address application specific requirements of various industry sectors in addition to covering the fundamentals of AM process chain. Industry, academia, and government agency professionals in the AM community are invited to address the need for industry standards, design principals, as well as qualification and certification challenges. Materials of interest include metals, polymers, composites, and ceramics.ASTM International Conference on Additive Manufacturing (ASTM ICAM 2020)

Dr. Shamsaei Co-Chairs the ASTM Symposium on Structural Integrity of Additive Manufactured Parts
6 - 8 NOV 2018
To ensure the structural integrity of additive manufactured parts, there is a need for establishing process-structure-property-performance relationships; specifically, as they pertain to fatigue and fracture behavior of these components and structures. This event will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas regarding the fatigue and fracture behavior of materials and components fabricated using additive manufacturing with a focus on the lack of industry standards, design principals, as well as qualification and certification criteria. This event is designed for professionals within the AM community including industrial (aerospace, medical, automotive and defense), academic, government and regulatory.
