21 - 23 October, 2025
Objectives & Takeaways
Pakistan Institute of Additive Manufacturing (PIAM3D) and National Institute of Vacuum Science & Technology (NINVAST) are jointly organizing the 2nd International Additive Manufacturing & Vacuum Technology (IAMVT) Conference, to be held from October 21 – 23, 2025 at NCP, Islamabad. With the essence and experience of last year’s successful conference, this event aims to promote the practical adoption of additive manufacturing and vacuum technologies across Pakistan’s R&D institutions, industry, and academia. Valuable technical perspectives from leading global experts will help shape meaningful dialogue and open avenues for future collaboration.
Participants will gain exposure to the latest advancements, engage in expert-led discussions on real-world challenges and innovations, and explore advanced 3D printing and vacuum systems at NCP through guided technical visits and demonstrations.
