NAMIC Virtual Summit 2021: Innovating for Built Environment with Construction 3D Printing

NAMIC is Singapore’s AM national platform for catalyzing innovation and scaling industrial adoption of additive manufacturing technologies.

As part of our Global AM Summit Series and continuing from NAMIC’s Virtual Global AM Summit 2020, NAMIC will expand this into a series of virtual AM Summits in 2021. The event series will focus on the status of AM deployment globally in industries spanning Built Environment, Aerospace, Land and Maritime, Biomedical, Marine Offshore and Renewables. Drawing on the domain expertise and thought-leadership of our distinguished speakers, our first Virtual Summit series of the year will kick off on how AM technology has evolved over the years to now being deployed to build sustainable and affordable housing for the masses.

The format of the summit will involve a 15-min presentation by the speakers, before ending with a joint panel discussion and Q&A session. By sharing your experience and expertise in construction 3D printing, we hope to inspire our local and regional construction companies to take action.
