Aerospace Workshop 2018
10 April 2018, BAWA Centre, Bristol, UK
This workshop, organised by the Aerospace Committee of BINDT, will present current research and developments in NDT for additive manufactured (AM) parts that is being undertaken to support their introduction and use in the aerospace sector. The aim of the workshop is to inform delegates of some of the NDT activities on-going in this area, from in-situ process monitoring through to as-built components, and provide an insight into the direction of future research.
This workshop will also include a panel session providing the opportunity to discuss and debate some of the key research challenges that AM parts pose to NDT and what success in this area may look like for the aerospace NDT sector.
The attendance fee is £65.00 + VAT.
BINDT Members*: £10.00 discount.
NDT Level 2s*: £15.00 discount.
*Only one discount will apply.
This fee covers attendance at the workshop, lunch, other refreshments and a tour at Aerospace Bristol.
The visit to the Aerospace Bristol museum from 15.30-17.00 includes an exclusive highlights tour, which will last for approximately one hour and includes ‘priority boarding’ onto Concorde.
