SEAMAC past International Summer Schools were a great success. Join us on the next one! Participants will be provided with a comprehensive introduction to additive manufacturing (AM), focusing on processes like Direct Energy Deposition with Laser Beam (DED-LB) and Powder Bed Fusion with Laser Beam (PBF-LB). You will learn about multi-material processing, design considerations, defects in metal AM, post-processing techniques and plasma electrolytic polishing (PeP). The program combines theoretical lectures with hands-on experiences, including lab demonstrations, visits to companies, and practical exercises on 3D model preparation and 3D printing, surface quality assessment and PeP of complex parts.

From 31. 3. 2025 to 4. 4. 2025 an event took place at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Details, agenda and some photos are in the Events section.

3D-tiskanje: pričakovanja in realnost

18.3.2025 ob 18.00 vabljeni na dogodek Znanstvena kavarna s tematiko o 3D tiskanju.

Gre za postopek, pri katerem se predmeti ustvarjajo plast za plastjo z uporabo različnih materialov, kot so plastika ali kovine. Začne se z digitalnim modelom predmeta, ki ga nato tiskalnik “natisne” tako, da nanese vsak sloj na prejšnjega, dokler ni predmet popolnoma oblikovan. Gre za postopek, kjer se fizični predmet izdela na podlagi računalniške zasnove.

18.3.2025 se bomo v Kavarni Specialka v času ene ure na zanimiv in tudi laiku dostopen način posvetili tej temi, pri čemer se bomo čim bolj izogibali tehničnemu žargonu in se osredotočili na vsakodnevne aplikacije. V interakciji z udeleženci bomo skušali ugotoviti, ali 3D-tiskanje vpliva na družbo in če vpliva, kakšni so ali bodo ti vplivi, ter nadalje, kako vpliva na področja kot so tehnika, umetnost in gradbeništvo.

V kavarni bomo gostili Edvarda Govekarja (UL-FS), Dejo Muck (UL-NTF), Aljošo Šajna (ZAG), Barbaro Wilkesmann (Chemets) in Joška Valentinčiča (UL-FS).

Kdaj? 18.3.2025 ob 18.00 uri.

Kje? V Kavarni Specialka, Center Rog, Trubarjeva 72, Ljubljana

The SEAMAC Summer School entitled: Additive manufacturing: from powder to final parts with a smooth surface will take place from June 29 – July 5, 2025, at the University of Ljubljana. The provisional programme is now available in the Events section. Stay tuned for updates and further details!

Today, on the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, we celebrate the achievements of women in research and promote equal opportunities in science.
Among other objectives 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗖 supports female engineers and aims to create a stronger network for postgraduate training, focusing on female students. We also aim to increase the number of female scientists and tech developers in advanced manufacturing.
At the upcoming 𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗣 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, we are excited to welcome Ljupka Vrteva, Slovenia’s Female Engineer of the Year 2023, as a speaker. We will award the best female presentation and all female participants with gifts.

The ICAMPP conference is committed to supporting female engineers, a cause we take great pride in.
We are honoured to have the opportunity to present Ljupka Vrteva the winner of Slovenia’s Female Engineer of the Year 2023 award, as an invited speaker at the International Conference on Additive Manufacturing and Post-Processing 2025. Ljupka is a passionate engineer and advocate for encouraging young women to pursue STEM careers. Coming from a family of musicians and economists, Ljupka was always creative as a child, but she wanted to turn her imagination into something tangible. After completing high school in Macedonia, she moved to Slovenia, where she successfully earned her undergraduate and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering at the University of Ljubljana. Additionally, she completed the European Energy Manager program at the Jožef Stefan Institute.
Ljupka has never doubted her decision to become an engineer and constantly seeks new challenges in the energy sector. She actively shares her knowledge and experience, inspiring others, especially young girls, to follow their dreams by showing them that with determination, anything is possible.

Join us in 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻, 𝟳.-𝟵.𝟵.𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 at the ICAMPP conference, to hear Ljupka Vrteva and other inspiring female engineers. Among the participants the best female presentation award will be presented as well as symbolic gifts and acknowledgment of all female participants. Don’t miss out. Register and submit your paper! www.icampp.si

The webpage of the International conference on additive manufacturing and post-processing (ICAMPP 2025) is now available. The conference is organized within the SEAMAC project, hence no registration fee.

We are delighted to announce another inspiring keynote speakers at the ICAMPP 2025, Dr. JAN HAUBRICH, head of the Sustainable Materials and Processes group at the Institute of Materials’ Research of the German Aerospace Research Center since 2014. The work of his team focuses particularly on laser additive manufacturing (AM) and heat treatment of aerospace materials. This complemented by the development of new alloys for AM as well as manufacturing chains of novel components, e.g. for gas turbine engines or rocket propulsion. Another area of his expertise is surface and interfaces, used for instance for structural bonding in aerostructures. After his Diploma in Chemistry (2002), he went on to obtain his Doctorate in Physical Chemistry (2007) at the Chairs of Prof. K. Wandelt, University of Bonn, and Philippe Sautet, Ecolé Normale Superieur de Lyon, investigating mechanisms in Surface Chemistry and Catalysis using experimental methods and density functional theory. His previous career stages included Postdoctoral Researcher stays at the Chair of Theoretical Chemistry of Prof. T. Bredow, Rheinische-Friedrich-Wilhelms University (2010-12, Bonn, Germany) and the Chair of Surface Chemistry and Catalysis of Prof. C.M. Friend, Harvard University, Boston (2007-10, Humboldt fellowship). He has published more than 78 articles with 3100 citations (h-index 29).

Come and join us at the International Conference on Additive Manufacturing and Post-Processing to hear Dr. Jan Haubrich and other inspiring keynote speakers.
