LAM 2015 Delivers Revolutionary Applications in Additive Manufacturing

BY GEOFF GIORDANO

With more new workshops than ever purporting to give a true perspective on 3D printing and additive manufacturing, the Laser Institute of America’s Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM®) Workshop has been ahead of the curve when it comes to realistic assessments of revolutionary industrial applications.

In its seventh year, LAM 2015 will again provide an intensive two-day immersion in the full spectrum of laser-based industrial additive applications — from traditional corrosion and wear protection and repair to the more hype-worthy powder-bed and powder-fed methods.

For the first time, LAM will not be held in the power-generation hub of Houston but in LIA’s hometown of Orlando, on Mar. 4-5 at the Embassy Suites Orlando – Lake Buena Vista South (Orlando, FL). LIA is a key part of the Florida High-Tech Corridor and the state’s photonics community, which includes the nearby College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida.

LAM 2015: Advancing the Applications of Laser Additive Manufacturing Technologies


ORLANDO, FL, Nov. 26, 2014 — The Laser Institute of America (LIA)’s annual workshop on laser additive manufacturing moves to LIA’s hometown of Orlando on March 4-5 at the Embassy Suites – Lake Buena Vista South (Orlando, FL) for the first time in 2015. Held at Florida’s high-tech corridor, LAM promises another no-hype look at the disruptive power of additive processes.

Chaired by Dr. Ingomar Kelbassa, the seventh Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM®) Workshop will focus heavily not only on traditional laser-based cladding applications to prevent or repair corrosion and wear, but also on the process chains vital to optimizing the additive production of parts.
