The 2nd China Aerospace Additive Manufacturing Technology Development Forum is scheduled to be held in Shanghai on Dec,8th-9th.
The aerospace field is one of the key directions for the development of the world's scientific and technological powers. In order to obtain advanced comprehensive performance, the design of parts and components in this field develops in the direction of complex shapes with integrated structure and function, and the materials tend to use more high-strength Alloys or composite materials with excellent high-temperature performance but difficult to process characteristics) continue to use traditional iso material processes (such as forging and casting) and subtractive processes (such as machining) to manufacture high-performance aerospace components, facing long cycle times, and low qualification rates, The cost is high, and it cannot even be manufactured at all. As the aerospace industry has higher and higher requirements for energy saving, emission reduction, lightweight, reliability, and comfort, aircraft manufacturing requires more and more high-performance materials and new designs, and traditional manufacturing processes have reached the required level. limit. The rapid development of additive manufacturing technology has opened up more possibilities for the aerospace industry to overcome limitations in geometry, materials, performance, and functionality. It provides unprecedented design freedom for the fabrication of complex, composite and hybrid structures with high precision that is not possible with traditional manufacturing routes.
As the additive manufacturing industry matures, additive manufacturing technology has gained widespread market application in the aerospace sector and is showing astounding growth potential. According to the Wohlers report, the market size of additive manufacturing technology in the aerospace industry is growing rapidly, and the market value generated in this field accounts for 14.7% and 15.9% of the total additive manufacturing market size in 2019-2021, respectively. and 16.8%, by 2021, to reach $2.56 billion.
In order to strengthen the extensive exchanges in China's aerospace industry in the entire industry chain and technology chain of additive manufacturing, expand new needs and application scenarios, and promote the entire industry to respond to common problems and challenges, the China Aerospace Additive Manufacturing Technology Development Forum is planned to be held. The first forum was successfully held in Shanghai and was widely praised by the industry. The 2nd China Aerospace Additive Manufacturing Technology Development Forum is scheduled to be held in Shanghai on December 8-9, 2022. All relevant units, enterprises, and individuals are welcome to actively register and participate in the forum.
