AM-2022 aims to kickstart 3D printing startups in India, revolutionizing manufacturing

Machine Maker speaks with Dr. L. Jyothish Kumar, Organizing Committee, ASMI, as he discusses the 11th International Conference AM 2022. They want to hold master seminars on boosting business with 3D printing technology and to promote Additive Manufacturing in India. ASMI urges Indian producers to attend the conference, which will feature keynotes from experts in the industry.

The Additive Manufacturing Society of India (AMSI) is a professional organization promoting 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing Technologies. AMSI assists design, development, research organizations, industrial professionals, and scholars in 3D Printing, Additive Manufacturing, and associated technology. In 2009, AMSI held its first international conference in Bangalore, India. During their first conference, they discussed rapid prototyping and manufacturing technology. AMSI has held an annual conference ever since to explore Additive Manufacturing Technologies, Rapid Prototyping, and 3D printing. AMSI is a prominent promoter of 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing technology, with a large network and MOUs with worldwide additive manufacturing organizations. 

The event is being structured by a coalition of well-known and recognized professional groups, including the Additive Manufacturing Society of India (AMSI) and other national and international professional organizations. The yearly ‘AM 2022’ conference focuses on Advanced Manufacturing Technologies and Applications. This year will mark the 11th International Conference on ‘Additive Manufacturing Technologies in Bangalore, India. The Additive Manufacturing Defense – Aerospace – Automotive Summit focuses on the transmission of worldwide knowledge and networking, in addition to offering a platform for experts active in additive manufacturing technologies to network and share expertise. The discussions would be on the topics of additive layer technology, development in 3D printing, and additive manufacturing for automotive, defense, aerospace, and biomedical applications.

Leading worldwide domain experts will provide keynote addresses at AM 2022, as well as a poster session and a vendor’s forum. In a simultaneous technological show, CAD/CAE solutions and additive manufacturing technology materials are among the technologies on display. AM 2022 is expected to draw a big crowd of additive manufacturing technology experts, academics, and R&D firms from across the world. The event will highlight solutions from the Defense, Aerospace, Automobile, Medical and Dental, Electronics, Consumer Goods, and Jewellery sectors.

Machine Maker interviewed Dr. L. Jyothish Kumar, Organizing Committee, AMSI regarding the 11th International Conference on Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing Technologies. In terms of additive manufacturing, India has a promising future. “There has been a lot of improvement in metal 3D printing technology,” Dr. Kumar says while discussing the rise of the Indian manufacturing business. The AM 2022 establishes a platform to show the additive manufacturing technology India is developing. “Every year there is a 40-50% increase in the adoption of AM technology in India”, comments Dr. Kumar regarding the growth of the conference.

The Indian government is encouraging manufacturers to use 3D printing technologies and has developed a national strategy in collaboration with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. According to Dr. Kumar, there is a lot of faith placed in the promotion of 3D printing technology under Industry 4.0. The conference will include a symposium on 3D printing start-ups and commercial potential, which will be a distinctive feature of AM-2022. They will provide assistance with start-ups, technical support, and funding opportunities available from the government.

In partnership with a German firm called EOS which is a training platform, AMSI’s 11th International conference, AM 2022, will also include a masterclass on building a business case for 3D printing applications. There also be a session for biomedical applications of 3D printing technology. “It’s a complete package even for all the participants,” says Dr. Kumar encouraging everyone to experience the AMSI’s 11th International Conference AM-2022.
