Registration is now open for the 2018 MELD Workshop. MELD is an innovative solid-state thermo-mechanical process for deposition of metal or metal matrix composites. It is highly scalable, open atmosphere and has a high deposition rate that sets it apart from other additive manufacturing technologies. The workshop will be April 17-18, 2018, at the University of Alabama’s Advanced Materials & Design Laboratory (AMDL) in the North Engineering Research Center (NERC).
