CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS 2027

FORUM FRANCE ADDITIVE | 7–9 JUILLET 2027 | NANTES

Additive Manufacturing for a Profitable and Sustainable Industry

From Scientific Discovery to Industrial Performance: What If Your Contribution Made the Difference?

Additive manufacturing is transforming the way we design, produce, and innovate. Behind every breakthrough lie scientific research, technological challenges, industrial experience, and the people driving the entire sector forward.

From July 7 to 9, 2027, at Centrale Nantes, France, the Forum France Additive will bring together leading representatives from academia, industry, and institutions with a shared ambition: to showcase scientific advances, highlight industrial achievements, and accelerate the innovations that will shape the future of additive manufacturing.

🇸🇬 Singapore, the Guest Country of Honour for the 2027 edition, will bring a strong international dimension to the Forum, showcasing scientific and industrial achievements while opening up new opportunities for exchanges and collaborations between the French, Singaporean, and international ecosystems.

Researchers, PhD students, engineers, industry professionals, SMEs, major companies, and innovation stakeholders: do you have research findings, a technology, an application, or practical experience to share?

Be Part of the Forum France Additive 2027 Programme!
