May 12-15, 2025, HannoverConference: New Frontiers in Materials Design for Laser Additive Manufacturing

We are happy to announce our International Conference on "New Frontiers in Materials Design for Laser Additive Manufacturing" which takes place in Designhotel + Congresscentrum Wienecke XI. in Hannover on May 12-15, 2025. Inspired by Gordon Research Conferences (www.grc.org) the conference location is chosen to encourage an informal community atmosphere. Accordingly, we will have no parallel sessions and in addition to focused scientific lectures and posters there will be plenty of time for discussion. We will embed excursions and/or free time of 2-3 hours during midday in the program while part of the lectures will take place at night after dinner.​

The conference aims to bring together researchers from both relevant fields, i.e., researchers working on laser additive manufacturing (LAM) and material scientists working on metal or polymer powders. High-ranking speakers will present and discuss current developments on new materials for LAM. We hope that the conference will serve as a stimulating forum for the international exchange of knowledge and closer collaboration between researchers working in this field.
