The 4th National Youth forum of Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing was held in Guangzhou, China on April 27-29, 2018. Professor Xue and two other members of NISE-Lab attended the meeting. It was organized by Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing Institution of Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society.

The forum is based on the topic of “central issue of the world in additive manufacturing, communication and cooperation”. Nearly 300 representatives from more than 50 research institutes attended the forum. Some young scientists were invited to give a lecture to show their latest academic achievements in this field.

The great success of the forum not only promoted the academic exchange and cooperation among young scholars, but also enhanced their cohesion and creativity. It would greatly push forward the development of 3D printing.
