The Additive Manufacturing Strategies conference returns in February 2026 to New York. This in-person event will bring together professionals to analyze the direction of additive manufacturing in sectors such as aerospace, medical, and automotive. Application cases will be presented, and the sector's guidelines for the coming years will be debated.
Integration of AI and Real-Time Process Control 🤖
A technical focus of the 2026 edition will be the convergence between artificial intelligence and monitoring systems. Advances in software that analyzes printing process data to predict failures and automatically adjust parameters will be showcased. This aims to increase repeatability in the production of short runs and critical parts, reducing material waste and post-processing time.
Your Home 3D Printer Won't Be Invited 😅
While strategies for industrial machines that melt metal powders with high-power lasers are discussed in New York, let's remember that our faithful filament printer at home continues its own particular struggle. Its greatest strategy is deciding whether the first layer will fail or the extruder will clog right at the end of a twenty-hour part. A different tactical approach, without a doubt.
