Adjourn
1:00 pm –5:00 pm DOE AMM Workshop
Immediately following the Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain
Innovation Leadership Summit, USDOE's Office of Nuclear Energy will hold its
annual review of the current projects that are part of its Advanced Methods for
Manufacturing program. The DOE workshop will run from Wednesday
afternoon, October 4, into the afternoon of Thursday, October 5. It also is being
held at the Shiloh Inn Conference Center, the same venue as the
Summit. During the DOE AMM workshop, more than a dozen principal
investigators will review the status of their research and discuss the relevance of
their findings to advanced manufacturing. Their presentations will cover
advancements in:
• Welding and Joining Technologies
• Additive Manufacturing
• Modular Fabrication
• Concrete Materials and Rebar Innovations
• Data Configuration Management
• Surface Modifications and Cladding Processes
8:00 am – 12:30 pm DOE AMM Workshop
Please note that registration for the AMM Annual Program Review Workshop is
separate from registration in the Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain
Innovation Leadership Summit.
