ICAM 2027 in Washington, DC

The ASTM International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM) runs September 20–24, 2027 and returns to Washington, DC. The organiser has posted a save-the-date and says venue information, registration details and the programme will follow.

What it is

ICAM is the advanced and additive manufacturing conference of ASTM International, run through its Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE). The AM CoE brings together industry, government and academia and ties research and development to the standards work that follows it, with the stated aim of getting standards to the people who need them sooner. The ICAM 2027 page is headed "Research to Application Through Standardization".

Around the conference

The AM CoE's wider work gives a sense of the ground ICAM covers:

• Standards activity for additive manufacturing, and the Consortium for Materials Data and Standardization (CMDS).
• Certification of AM quality systems, facilities, processes, facility safety and machine operators.
• Education and workforce development, including ASTM professional certificate courses.

ICAM 2026 was held in Orlando. For questions ahead of the 2027 programme, the organiser lists [email protected].
