With industry, academia and the federal government realizing the huge advantages additive can bring to manufacturing, this technology has moved into the mainstream with capabilities that can meet, and far exceed, the complex challenges facing the modern manufacturing landscape.

Join us at North Carolina State University and hear from industry thought leaders as they discuss new innovations, research and the benefits additive manufacturing bring to the commercial and government markets.

About our Speakers

Gregory Hayes, Ph.D. SVP of applied technology EOS North America

Greg Hayes is a strategic technology development consultant with a strong background in high-end research and development, and a focus in materials science and engineering. Greg’s professional background began as a consulting materials scientist and technical program lead, working internationally in the health-tech, high-tech, and aerospace markets. Currently, Greg is senior vice president of applied technology at EOS North America, where he works to identify market needs and uses of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology to develop products to fulfill those opportunities. Most recently as a program manager and director of new partnerships for AM at TNO, he concentrated on design and structure of research programs, acquisition of funding and partners, and general management. In 2016, he joined the JuntoHealth advisory board. Prior to that in 2014, Greg co-founded Complex Materials, a bespoke bioresorbable materials company with a focus on magnesium alloy stent tubing. Greg holds an ME degree from the University of Delaware; a Ph.D. in Materials Science from The Pennsylvania State University; and Start-up and Entrepreneurship certification from the Vlerick Business School in Belgium.

Timothy Horn, Ph.D. SVP of applied technology EOS North America

Timothy is currently an Assistant Professor Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, North Carolina State University (NCSU). He is also the Director of Research for the Center for Additive Manufacturing and Logistics (CAMAL), which is one of the leading international centers for metal and alloy additive manufacturing (AM) where he has developed new AM systems and applications pertaining to powder-bed fusion processes. He is recognized as a leading expert in designing operating parameters, machines and materials for powder-bed electron beam and laser melting AM processes. His research has focused on developing new alloys and parameters for AM technologies, process monitoring and in situ control and also developing new metal materials for additive manufacturing technologies; leveraging the unique structure-property relationships feasible with this new manufacturing approach, where he has led multiple new material development efforts on behalf of a number of consortia, companies, and government agencies.

Brian Kristaponis General Manager, Phillips Hybrid System

Brian Kristaponis joined the Phillips team in 2016 as an Applications Engineer for the Federal Division and, shortly after, became Applications Manager. Brian and his team supported the U.S. Government with all things Haas and additive. Brian and his team worked closely with Additec to develop the 1st Haas-Meltio Hybrid in the summer of 2020. Since then Brian now heads up the Phillips Hybrid Division where he and his team focus on developing customer Hybrid Applications, building Hybrid systems, training new customers, and providing technical support.

Michael Kirka, Ph.D. Group Leader Deposition Science and Technology, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Dr. Michael Kirka is a Materials Scientist within the Deposition Science and Technology Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Michael’s current research focuses on evaluating the suitability and limitations of high temperature Nickel-base (Ni-base) superalloys for additive manufacturing processes through understanding their microstructural evolution during processing in relation to their microstructure-property relationships. Additionally, Michael work on developing heat-treatments specific to Ni-base superalloy processed via additive manufacturing. Previously, Michael’s research has focused on laser based repair techniques for Ni-base superalloy gas turbine airfoils and understanding the thermomechanical material degradation mechanisms in nickel-base superalloys exposed to service like conditions. Michael received his B.S. in materials science 2007 from The University of Michigan and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from The Georgia Institute of Technology in mechanical engineering in 2010 and 2014 respectively.
