July 31- August 1, 2019
Workshops Day July 30, 2019
This technology agnostic curriculum on the practical application of additive manufacturing technologies provides you with an overview of the current production ready additive manufacturing technology and materials available. Additionally, workflow will be covered for lattice structures, topology optimization and generative design as it relates to additive manufacturing of metal components.
An introductory workshop that will include fabrication of a silicon and glass based microfluidic device with a demonstration of its fluid flow in the cleanroom at the University of Louisville. The workshop is open to everyone with little or no fabrication experience, but interested in learning about the type of technology for potential research applications or microfabrication in general. Space is limited!
Roll-to-roll manufacturing based on traditional printing processes has been an established technology for over a century. Integrating nanomaterials into the inks extends these manufacturing techniques to more functional devices. This workshop will introduce the uses of nanomaterials into roll-to-roll processes and discuss the engineering of the inks as well as post-deposition processes towards wide area high speed manufacturing. Consideration of costs, nanomaterials production, existing deposition techniques, post-processing and handling will be discussed.
Symposium topics and sessions include the following:
Micro/nanotechnological advances and applications
Additive manufacturing and 3D printing technologies and applications
MEMS and sensors
Microfluidics
2D materials and devices
Energy
Healthcare
Semiconductors and electronics
What is the co-creation innovation model?

ABOUT The Nano+AM Symposium
The 2019 KY Nano+AM Symposium is an annual event dedicated to bring together researchers/users in the advanced manufacturing fields of additive manufacturing and micro/nanotechnology to discuss new findings, share results, showcase capabilities, generate ideas, debate the future, and network with one another. The 2019 Nano/AM Symposium is open to all scientists, engineers, and students from a variety of disciplines including microtechnology, nanotechnology, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, healthcare, energy, advanced materials, MEMS, biotechnology, commercial products, defense, and nano-education. The goal of the symposium is to strengthen the collaboration between industry and academia in the above targeted areas. Participants will hear exciting presentations about the latest nano/AM technologies, learn about existing state-of-the-art core facilities available to the public, and discuss ways that industry can access a wide variety of academic resources, including their most valuable resource – creative, hard-working students. The 3-day symposium agenda will consist of a workshop day on AM and Nanotechnology, followed by a 2 day conference with parallel sessions for both industry and academia, several joint keynote presentations, poster presentations, sponsorship opportunities, food and refreshments, core facility tours, and a valuable evening networking reception.
