World Titanium Conference 2023
Edinburgh, UK

June 2023

Lucia Scotti, Sam Lister, James Pepper, Cameron Barrie, Dennis Premoli, Joshua Taylor and Joe Hopkinson attended and presented at the World Titanium Conference 2023, organised by IOM3 and Prof. Martin Jackson. The conference hosted over 500 attendees and representatives from 35 different countries from industry and academia alike, to discuss the latest research in titanium and covering wide subjects such as manufacturing and recycling. 


We also had the chance to catch up with past members of the group such as Dr Alex Graves (Sandvik Coromant), Dr Adam Cox (Brompton Bicycle) and Dr Lyndsey Benson (CSIRO Manufacturing).
