Scope

WAM 2023 International Hybrid Conference aims to bring scientists, engineers and students working and using advanced welding and metal additive manufacturing (MAM) technology fields in their research projects and industrial applications. International experts in these fields will present recent developments and discuss present and future challenges and innovative solutions to increase effectiveness of the welding and metal AM and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) Technologies. During two days conference, international invited speakers will give presentations on the recent advances in welding and AM (powder and wire based) technologies and their use in major industrial applications. Furthermore, IIW & EWF education-training-certification issues will be discussed and shortage of welders and welding engineers, inspectors, AM operators and coordinators will be adressed. WAM 2023 International Conference will be organised in cooperation with expert scientists from Osaka University (JWRI)-Japan, Osmania University-India and IITH- India with the IIW and EWF kind supports.

WAM 2023 International Conference will provide opportunity to industries, universities and research institutions exhibit their recent products and developments in welding and MAM Technologies. Use of robotic and automation in both welding and WAAM Technologies will exhibited for various materials, parts and applications. Research students will have an opportunity to present their projects and discuss their results with experts.
