AMUK. Hosted by GKN Aerospace
GKN Aerospace Global Technology Centre, Taurus Road, Horizon 38, Patchway, Bristol, BS34 6FB

Join AMUK + Dyndrite for an in-person LPBF hands-on workshop kindly hosted by GKN Aerospace (Bristol).  This is your opportunity to experience the next generation of metal AM part development and production.

Metal LPBF has officially broken free from its legacy constraints. If your team is still wrestling with static firmware, clunky GUI build preps, and platform-specific limitations, you are leaving massive performance—and production speed—on the table.
‍
Join AMUK, Dyndrite, and GKN Aerospace at the GKN Global Technology Centre for a hands-on workshop designed for engineers ready to question old thinking and assumptions and to change-up the future of software-driven metal additive manufacturing.
‍
Hosted by GKN Aerospace world-class Research & Technology team at its state of the art facilities in Bristol this event is hosted by AMUK with its recognised leadership in advancing the UK’s metal AM ecosystem. Discover how GKN leverages multi-OEM environments - spanning EOS, Renishaw and SLM equipment - to engineer the critical materials and process knowledge needed to deliver next-generation aerospace components. Paired with Dyndrite’s raw compute power and unique software tools, you’ll see firsthand the opportunities available when modern software, coupled with AI coding tools, can be used to automate M&P and push on production automation.

‍What You'll Experience:
Next-Level Toolpath & Beam Automation: Take programmatic control of the laser profile. See how pairing Dyndrite’s automated toolpathing with nLIGHT AFX technology on EOS hardware unlocks support-free printing at ultra-low overhang angles, optimizes energy input for highly reflective metals like pure copper, and drives seamless production automation.
‍
‍AI-Powered Material Development: Learn how AI coding tools transform R&D for advanced alloys and multi-materials. Learn to rapidly execute Materials & Process Design of Experiments (M&P DoE) and dial in complex material process windows in a fraction of the traditional time.
‍
‍The Qual/Cert Revolution: Discover how Dyndrite is rewriting the rules of certification. Explore Delta Qualification—qualifying specific process tweaks instead of starting system certification from scratch—and leverage true OEM interoperability for effortless scaling.

Stop letting legacy workflows cap your engineering potential. Secure your seat at GKN Aerospace in Bristol today and build what comes next.

Who Should Attend:

• Company Executives setting vision, direction and product targets
  
• VP of Manufacturing making decisions on production line HW & SW
• Head of Additive/ Director/Managers wrestling with LPBF serial production and managing process variation
  
• Materials and Process Development Engineers unlocking new materials and parts
  
• Additive/Applications Engineers seeking greater capabilities and efficiency
  
• Design Engineers seeking greater capabilities and efficiency
  
• Quality Engineers looking to streamline quality and calibration efforts
  
• Managers wrestling with LPBF serial production and managing process variation
  

Hands-on Workshop Attendees will Learn:

• New CAD-to-print software automation to remove “human in the loop” variation
  
• Build file development techniques to optimise for common features across part families including support-free printing, printing thin walls, and low-overhangs
  
• Methods for creating build files with multiple build strategies on a single layer
  
• Optimal sorting and filtering techniques for gasflow optimization and plume avoidance
  
• Time-saving Design of Experiments (DoE) methods to develop geometry specific parameters optimised for productivity and quality
  

This is a limited-seating 1 day workshop event for AM executives, managers and technicians. While it’s free to attend, your attendance would be at your own cost for travel and accommodations.

For technicians interested in the hands-on workshop, bringing a laptop is highly recommended to maximize the workshop experience.
