IMPC 2024: Advanced Materials for Additive Manufacturing II: AM and Sustainability
Synopsis
This will be the 8th polymers event hosted by SCI’s All-Ireland and Materials groups. This year’s conference will be an in-person event held at University College Dublin exploring the field of polymers and materials and their uses in additive manufacturing.
This event will focus on sustainable developments in the field with a focus on the following areas;

• Development of natural and biobased materials from 3D printing
• Efficient manufacturing of materials from 3D printing
• Efficient lightweight materials from 3D printing
• Additive manufacturing processing of materials for energy storage
• Analysis and characterisation of printed materials

Join us to take part in discussions and talks on additive manufacturing and network with both academic and industrial researchers working in the field.
Attendees
This event is aimed at researchers in the field of polymers and materials for additive manufacturing (3D printing). It will bring together researchers from both academia and industry to discuss new developments and build networks in the field.

Call for oral and poster presentations

Contributions are invited from both academic and industrial researchers working in the field of polymers and materials for additive manufacturing to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation. An abstract of maximum 250 words indicating title, authors, institution and preference for presentation option (oral presentation or poster) should be sent to conferences@soci.org by Friday 28 June 2024 with the subject line “SCI Advances in Polymers and Materials for Additive Manufacturing - abstract submission”. Presentation slots are inevitably limited and will be allocated to achieve a balanced programme – researchers will be invited to contribute a poster if submission is not chosen for oral presentation. Prizes will be awarded for the best presentation and poster. An abstract template can be found here.
