Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is hosting the Third Technical Workshop on Nondestructive Evaluation of Advanced Manufacturing Components from April 29 – 30, 2025, in Richland, Washington, USA.
This is a forum for the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) community supporting energy, infrastructure, and national security sectors to share recent research and development advancements. The focus is on nondestructive methods for inspecting components built with metallic and non-metallic advanced manufacturing (AM) technologies. Such AM technologies may include powder bed fusion, powder directed energy deposition, wire-arc directed energy disposition, electron beam welding, friction stir welding, cold spray, powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing, extrusion, and binder jetting.
Technical Areas of Interest
- Post-process and in-service inspection NDE methods
- Data fusion and coordination between in-situ and post-process NDE
- Application of data analytics to address the unique challenges of advanced manufacturing components
