22nd International Conference on Advances in Materials & Processing Technologies 26 listopada 2019

Date: 20-24 October, 2019

Place: Taipei, Taiwan

This conference is a big international event concerning the topic of materials and various processing methods. This year the  topic widely discussed during this conference, apart from the materials, was 3D printing. The 3DMPWire project and the WAAM technology were presented in a poster session by our colleague Joanna Kulasa, who also won the prize for a ‚Researcher with  future.’
