Looks like a busy day ahead at the NAAME Conference at #AdastralPark

Everyday brings a new interaction with a company that questions whether metal AM is yet fit for purpose. Everyday we have to remember the World is so much bigger than we think! So, AM is not the next #IndustrialRevolution or #Industry4ptO However, it could be! #ThinkOutsideTheBox

Great to be back supporting the real world use of Metal Additive Manufacturing from SPEE3D at SAE Media Group Defence SAE Defence Logistics Central & Eastern Europe #DEFLOG #AdditiveManufacturing

Defence Logistics #Deflog is about ensuring the operational capability of the deployed military assets - what better way to achieve this than with additive manufacturing through FDM. That's right "Forward Defence Manufacturing" capabilities made possible by SPEE3D

Today at the SAE Media Group Defence #Deflog we heard from Brig. Tim Crosland, of the UK Army, about the incredibly complex task of organising all of the international military support for Ukraine that is being coordinated by the UK. Well done Team GB!

Quick visit to the very western edge of the East of England, Silverstone, to see the latest developments at Digital Manufacturing Centre (DMC) DMC. Definitely an exemplary company that's all about Additive Manufacturing. A whole array of plastics and metals systems all under one roof.

Collaborating with the Smart Manufacturing Alliance to bring #AdditiveManufacturing to the East of England. linkedin.com/posts/smart-ma…

The article is very brief, and left me asking what, if anything, is new about this collaboration? There are numerous software solutions that do exactly what is described here. When will Innovate UK funded projects truly deliver an advantage for the UK? metal-am.com/amfg-and-imper…

Great to see the British Army making progress with Additive Manufacturing. This will enable so much to be done in forward operations. As we say in the sector, Upwards and Onwards! #AdditiveManufacturing

Somewhat better to be back on the road again. Heading to Cologne and the EASA as they host the next face to face SAE AMS AM Standards committee meetings. #AdditiveManufacturing #InternationalStandards #Aerospace #MAMSolutions

Let's set the record straight, Babcock were absolutely not the first to 3D Print a metal part to be used in active duty for the British Army. 3dprint.com/299246/autonom…

Oh, the irony of being in Cologne to discuss all things AM with SAE International® AMS AM committee members at the EASA HQ, and then have flights home cancelled due to local strike action 😤

This week at the #NEC there is Subcon, Med-tech, Manufacturing & Engineering, & TCT 3SIXTY. Why are these trade shows so short? 09:30 - 16:30/16:00 over 2 days. Equivalent events in Europe open earlier and close up to 2 hrs later. Is UK industry missing a point?

Is this a good approach? Sticking an open "seminar area" in the middle of a busy trade show floor. What is wrong with having a proper conference setting, where you can actually here yourself think? #JustSaying

The French government are clearly supporting their national manufacturing effort. Shame Rishi Sunak UK Prime Minister and the GOV.UK are completely clueless when it comes to the Manufacturing sector in the UK, and especially #AdditiveManufacturing. 3dprint.com/301455/two-fre…

Want to know how Additive Manufacturing can help and be used in the agri-tech, agri-biotech, and food-tech sectors? Visit mamsolutions.uk to arrange a meeting with me to discuss this and more.

Popping into ARU for another step towards #AdditiveAnglia #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #UoS #UEA

Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace, Defence & Space By Defence iQ - good attendance at the opening session with Metal AM

As the first day comes to a close, everyone that managed to combat the dry and stuffy air in the room and stay awake deserves a 🎖 But the presentations, thankfully, did very well to peak interest, as in fact very few produced any 😴 factor

There was a lot of positivity today at the 2nd TCT 3Sixty UK User Group meeting. Duncan and his team deserve high praise for bringing this and the UK AM user community together. It's been a long time coming, but as so often is the case, better late than never!
