Additive manufacturing of metallic parts has already reached the level of serial production in many different industries, like the medical, aerospace, and automotive ones. A key role in the sustainable growth of metal AM technologies is played by the complementary progress in materials science aiming to enable the manufacture of high-performance metal parts and ensure their mechanical, physical, and functional properties.

Additive 2024 is a cutting-edge forum representing the progress in materials science related to metal additive manufacturing. The symposium is intended to promote an exchange of experiences and collaborations between users of metal AM technology from diverse areas of industry and the scientific AM community.

On behalf of the Program Committee, I wish you a successful participation at the symposium and a pleasant stay in the wonderful cities of Bremen & Berlin. We are looking forward to welcoming you at Additive 2024!
