A Heartfelt Thank You

AM-SMART 2026 brought together researchers, engineers and industry professionals from around the world for three days of knowledge exchange, discussion and collaboration at the University of Twente.

From 14–16 September 2026, the conference explored the latest developments in additive manufacturing, smart materials and adaptive structures through keynote presentations, technical sessions and research discussions. Beyond sharing new research and ideas, the conference provided an opportunity to build connections across disciplines and strengthen the growing international AM-SMART community.

We would like to thank all our speakers, presenters, participants, sponsors and partners for their contributions and for making AM-SMART 2026 a successful and engaging event.
