ASTM International Conference on Additive Manufacturing 2026

The ASTM International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM) is the premier annual forum where the global advanced manufacturing community converges to shape the future of industrial production. ICAM 2026, hosted by the ASTM Global Advanced Manufacturing Programs Division and supported by more than a dozen ASTM technical committees, brings together the leaders, innovators, and practitioners who drive technology from early exploration to industrial deployment.

ICAM focuses on the full lifecycle of manufacturing innovation—pre-industrialization research, standards that support scale-up, and post-industrialization practices that strengthen reliability and performance—across sectors such as aerospace, defense, energy, medical, automotive, and microelectronics. The conference provides a collaborative environment where end users, researchers, government agencies, and solution providers work together to build the consensus, pathways, and implementation strategies needed for advanced manufacturing.

Key focus areas include:

Industry standards and shared frameworks
Design methods for scalable manufacturing
Qualification pathways and responsible adoption
Process and system innovations
Advanced materials and integrated manufacturing processes
Data, modeling, and digital manufacturing ecosystems

ICAM is the place where technical decision makers from around the world exchange insights, present leading-edge work, and build the technical and strategic relationships that move advanced manufacturing forward. The conference supports the transition of ideas, methods, and technologies into production-ready solutions, ensuring that innovation isn’t something stuck in a lab, but delivered to the front lines.
