AdM as a Service Challenge Working Groups Event

The 22^nd October Additive Manufacturing as a Service Challenge face-to-face event is quickly approaching and is now fully subscribed. If you are no longer able to attend, please let Edit know.

The event address is Thales UK, 350 Longwater Ave, Green Park Business Park, Reading, RG2 6GF. Further information on how to get there can be found in the attached documents.

Lunch and some refreshments will be provided. Dress code – business casual; no military uniform is required.

The aim of the event is to consolidate learning to date for input into the Executive Group Priorities for 2025.

The objectives are to share lessons identified from Spiral 1 across MOD and Industry and to use scenario-based exercises as a tool to test the Advanced Manufacturing strategy and stimulate a deeper understanding of the strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and threats to AM adoption and how action can be taken to exploit or avoid these. The outputs of this exercise will inform the Executive Group Priorities for 2025.
