The First European Conference on Structural Integrity of Additively Manufactured Materials 12 września 2019

Date: 9-11 September, 2019

Place: Trondheim, Norway

From the 9th to the 11th of September Joanna Kulasa and Aleksander Kowalski took part in The First European Conference on Structural Integrity of Additively Manufactured Materials (ESIAM19) in Trondheim.

The physical phenomena of fatigue and fracture of AM materials as well as 3D printing were discussed widely. The conference was also a great opportunity for extensive networking, and promoting the project in a poster session.
