The program

Don’t miss anything during this conference, the complete program in a clear overview.

Visitors register and can start studying the posters while waiting for the official opening.

Karin Mous as event manager wishes everyone a warm welcome to the second Manufacturing Technology Conference.
Edwin de Zeeuw from Mikrocentrum will discuss the need for this event with Joost Smits from ASML and Thermo Fisher.

Dr Stefano Sgobba – Head of the CERN Materials, Metrology and NDT section

From the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific research.

In modern accelerators, stringent requirements are placed on the materials used for vacuum systems. Their physical and mechanical properties, machinability, weldability and brazeability are key parameters. Adequate strength, ductility, magnetic properties at room as well as low temperatures are important factors for vacuum systems of accelerators working at cryogenic temperatures. In addition, components undergoing baking or activation of Non-Evaporable Getters (NEG) or directly exposed to the beam impose specific choices of material grades for suitable outgassing and mechanical properties in a large temperature range. Today, stainless steels are the dominant materials of vacuum systems. The reasons for specific requirements in terms of metallurgical processes are detailed for obtaining adequate purity, inclusion cleanliness and fineness of the microstructure. In many cases these requirements are crucial to guarantee the final leak tightness of the vacuum components. Innovative manufacturing and material examination technologies are also treated.

WAAM is een speciale vorm van additive manufacturing, waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van een elektrische lasboog als warmtebron en een metaaldraad als materiaaltoevoer. Het gewenste stuk wordt ‘geprint’ door het op elkaar stapelen van lasrupsen. Het is een vorm van 3D-printen voor metalen onderdelen die de laatste tijd steeds meer aan belang wint.

Three-dimensional plate forming is an old but very efficient and beautiful technique, plate is formed around a stamp to obtain the correct shape.

PROVEN CONCEPTS
Ron Cornelissen – Operational Director

Hybrid manufacturing is a combination of additive manufacturing (AM) and subtractive manufacturing. Both processes on their own have remarkable capabilities, but when combined, it opens up a whole new level of design and manufacturing.
