The Second International Conference on Simulation for Additive Manufacturing (Sim-AM 2019) was held in Pavia, Italy, on 11-13 September 2019. The conference first edition was held in Munich, Germany, in 2017.

Sim-AM is an ECCOMAS Thematic Conference and an IACM Special Interest Conference.

The conference offered the opportunity to gain insights into CAD, part chain, innovative application, material modeling, multi-physics and multi-scale simulation, shape and topology optimization, simulation for different AM technologies (e.g. fused deposition and laser based methods), validation and verification, and other topics in the AM field.

In addition to plenary lectures, general and invited sessions, the conference was organized in industrial Workshops driven by AM industries with the active presence of scientific experts.

The conference, a major success with over 300 delegates from all over Europe, US, Asia, was hosted in the gorgeous setting of the historical halls of the University of Pavia and ended with a dinner in the stunning Collegio Borromeo quad.
