Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers the possibility to fabricate products and components with unprecedent design complexity and has the potential to become a diffuse manufacturing process in many strategic sectors from aerospace to biomedical. The future success of AM is strongly linked to our capacity to properly assess the structural integrity of Additively Manufactured parts. From one side the geometrical complexity places a fundamental role in this regard on the other side how to treat from a design perspective the defects due to the process itself is a key and open challenge. Aim of ESIS Technical Committee 15 (TC15) is to create a community working in the strategic topic of structural integrity of additively manufactured components, exchanging experience, transferring data and information. Linked to the activities of TC15 in 2019 the first European Conference on the Structural Integrity of Additively Manufactured Materials (ESIAM) was organized with more than 150 participants from more than 30 countries. In 2021 the conference was held online due to the pandemic. In September 2023 a new successful in presence event has been organized in Porto (Portugal) allowing ESIAM to reach its third edition with more than 130 participants from 25 countries.
