2025 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition: Nano and Micro Additive Manufacturing: Organized by Alain Reiser; Wendy Gu; Yu Zou; Mostafa Hassani; Ming Chen

Additive manufacturing has immense potential for design flexibility and simplified processing for precision, high resolution structures with robust mechanical properties. This symposium will focus on novel techniques, feedstock materials, characterization, and predictive simulations for additive manufacturing of structures with nano to microscale dimensions, as well as bulk structures with tailored internal nano/microscale features. A designated focus will be the description and validation of materials performance, in particular, the mechanical behaviour of manufactured structures. Topics of interest include additive techniques based on (but not limited to) multiphoton lithography, laser or e-beam sintering/melting, cold spray, aerosol deposition, inkjet, electrodeposition and hybrid methods, and material systems including polymers, metals, ceramics, and nanocomposites. The functional properties, mechanical behaviour and lifetime of nano and micro additively manufactured materials and structures are also of high interest in this symposium.
