Overview
Imperial College London’s Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering (IMSE) and Additive Manufacturing Network (AMN) invite you to the launch of their latest briefing paper, on the College’s new White City Campus.
Please join us to learn about ongoing challenges in the 3D printing industry, and how Imperial researchers are tackling these barriers.
The keynote talk will be given by Dr Ajit Panesar (Department of Aeronautics), and will be followed by a research and facilities showcase, and drinks reception.
RSVP here.

About IMSE & AMN
Founded in 2015, the Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering is the newest of Imperial Collge London’s Global Institutes. The Institute brings engineers, scientists, clinicians and business researchers together from Imperial’s four faculties to find molecular-based solutions to grand challenges facing our world. By blurring the boundaries between molecular science and engineering, and changing the way scientists and engineers work together, the aim of the Institute is to accelerate the pace of development to address these challenges. The Institute co-ordinates a range of integrated activities to enable researchers at Imperial and elsewhere to engineer novel products and solutions that are firmly based on advances in molecular science and engineering.
Imperial College London’s Additive Manufacturing Network was set up in 2016 to showcase AM research activities in College and to increase understanding of AM processes. In particular, the AMN aims to exploit Imperial’s expertise in fundamental science to further knowledge of AM product performance, to advance AM technologies and to create novel design methodologies and tools. Supported by the Faculty of Engineering Internal Strategic Fund, the Network’s activities are designed to provide strategic direction and a unified front for AM-based research at Imperial, to increase and focus external exposure to Imperial’s AM research, and to facilitate interdepartmental collaborative AM opportunities in College (e.g., research seminars, workshops and access to equipment).
