Swedish Academic Conference for Additive Manufacturing of Metals 2025

Welcome to this academic conference at Linköping University, arranged in collaboration with the Swedish Arena for Additive Manufacturing of Metals and the Swedish Society for Materials Technology (SFMT).

We are glad to announce that Linköping University will host this annual conference. The conference holds a great opportunity for networking and collaboration with the goal to increase adoption and speed up sustainable industrialisation of metal additive manufacturing (AM).

Aim

To reinforce the network of researchers from Sweden within the field of Additive Manufacturing of Metals.

Where?

The conference is sited on Campus Valla, Linköping University. It is located close to Linköping Science Park with a successful innovation and entrepreneurship culture and several global tech companies like IFS, Sectra and Ericsson. A total of 600 companies.

The university has a long history in material research, but also in for instance medicine, didactics, business and management, computing and physics.

Linköping University has four campuses: Campus Valla, Campus University Hospital of Linköping, Campus Norrköping and Campus Lidingö (Stockholm).

Linköping is a town by the river Stångån located in the middle of Sweden. It is the home of the Swedish aircraft manufacturer Saab. The town has a thriving restaurant life and popular tourist sites like the old town "Gamla Linköping" and Swedish Airforce Museum - both located close to Campus Valla.
