On the evening of Oct 29, the 2022 Intelligent Welding and Additive Manufacturing Technology International Forum was successfully held in Wuxi in a combination of online and offline. More than 10 domestic and foreign guests delivered wonderful keynote speeches. More than 50 experts, scholars and enterprises representatives attended the conference, and more than 70 international guests from China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Bulgaria and other countries in the field of welding, surface engineering and additive manufacturing participated in the forum online.

The forum was hosted by China Welding Association, AWF Welding Technology and Application Committee, co-hosted by Industrial Internet Branch of China Association of Inventions,China Building Material Machinery AssociationWelding Technology Division, BRICS Training Center for Skills Development and Technology Innovation, and undertook by China Welding Association Surfacing and Additive Manufacturing Division and Beijing Arc Xinxing  Science and Technology Co., Ltd., aiming to promote the innovation ability of intelligent welding and additive manufacturing technology, and promote the application of artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, industrial robots, virtual simulation, virtual reality, machine learning and big data in welding.

Title 1: China Welding Association Surfacing and Additive Manufacturing Division was established

At the forum, the establishment ceremony of Surface Engineering and Additive Manufacturing Working Committee of China Welding Association was held first. Li liansheng, Vice President and Secretary general of China Welding Association, read the letter of the establishment of Surface Engineering and Additive Manufacturing Working Committee of China Welding Association, and expressed his support and praise for the work of the working committee.
