The two-day event will comprise over 40 presentations from these women and others, looking at their various areas of expertise in AM, including aerospace, medical, consumer, automotive, industrial and more. The presentations will be organized into four expert-driven tracks, Technology, Industry, People and Economics. Oehlerking’s presentation in the Material Innovations session will be part of the Technology track.
