Defence iQ’s Advanced Manufacturing for Aerospace & Materiel conference is taking place in Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel, Bristol, UK on the 26-27 February 2025. Building on over a decade of success from our Additive Manufacturing conference, this event serves as an excellent platform for the exchange of knowledge and exploration of groundbreaking developments in this field. As the UK’s largest aerospace cluster, with more users from the defence and space community, Bristol is once again the optimal location to bring all the stakeholders from the Advanced Manufacturing and 3D Printing ecosystem together to address the current challenges. 

OUR PREMIER AM EVENT RETURNS TO THE UNITED STATES IN JUNE 2025

Join us on June 24-25, 2025 at The Westin Hotel in Pasadena, California for the IDGA Advanced Manufacturing for Defense Summit, where in our 3rd iteration we explore the cutting-edge realm of additive manufacturing, a sector set to surpass a staggering value of USD $76.16 billion by 2030. This dynamic sector, thriving at the intersection of aerospace, space, and defense, is at the forefront of revolutionizing modern manufacturing practices.
 
This gathering, conducted in collaboration with ASTM International, will serve as a nexus of defense primes, government leaders, industry leaders, technical vendors, and startup innovators, where collaborative discussions will unfold against the backdrop of recent investments, as well as program initiatives funded by the current administration and major defense and aerospace companies, adding a layer of timeliness and relevance to the discourse.

Is your company or organization investing in additive manufacturing?The event will provide a forum for you to learn about the latest solutions in the space. For industry vendors, the conference serves as a platform to maximize the reach of your solutions and services within a fast growing community.
