Space and space applications can pose a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Key advantages including reducing part count and points of failure, total mass reduction, and control over mass distribution. However, the extreme forces placed on objects going into space, and the high cost of failure necessitate high qualification and certification standards. This is not only expensive but also poses some unique technical challenges to replicate parts to consistent high standards.
Discussion will include:
- How will we use AM in space?
- How can available Standards support the industry, and where are the gaps?
- How ICME can help through modelling and simulation
- How do you demonstrate Quality Assurance for Space AM components?
- What are the NDE challenges, given the large size of some components, and how can we manage the potential for defects within the material?
- In-process monitoring, qualification and validation from AI to CT-scanning
6:35 pm - 7:05 pm

The relationship between machine makers and end users is a big issue preventing the scale up of AM production. As the industry has rapidly expanded over the past 5 years, OEMs have focused on development of new machines. However, as the industry matures there needs to be greater attention paid to after care, manuals, and documentation to support end users. The time it takes from delivery to initial builds can be 6 months, which also incurs significant labour costs. Traditional machine makers provide more support and our research indicates that it would be useful and timely for clear dialogue between machine makers and end users on expectation.
Discussion will include:
· How OEMs can provide greater support to customers
· Discussion on the most cost-effective type of support that will make the most difference
· Should we provide a complete end-to-end solution or create a network of vetted post-processing vendors?
· How permissive have customers been relative to batching or non-sequential printing?
· How often are material changes pursued / required?
· Regulatory problems and if OEMS need to be more explicit about what can and can’t be done
