Goals

Advance adoption of PM-HIP technologies through collaborative discussions centered on real-world component manufacturing challenges, qualification pathways, domestic supply chain development, and scalable deployment strategies for critical industrial, energy, and defense applications.

Create a sustained technical exchange platform where stakeholders can identify gaps, brainstorm practical solution pathways, and develop collaborative roadmaps for transitioning PM-HIP technologies into broader industrial use.

Workshop activities

• Establish a strategic framework for a PM-HIP collaborative platform connecting domestic industrial partners, academia, and national labs with end users.
• Evaluate challenges for large-scale component manufacturing, including microstructure-property assessment, powder production, and supply chain resilience.
• Identify “proof of concept” and real-world component opportunities for next-step PM-HIP technology development and broader implementation.
• Develop collaborative manufacturing and qualification roadmaps spanning feedstock production, processing, characterization, and deployment pathways.
• Gain industry input to support future demonstration projects, standards development, and technology transition activities.

What to Expect

• Development of a roadmap that includes clear direction with short-, medium-, and long-term goals for PM-HIP.
• An increased knowledge base to enable the adoption of PM-HIP technology for organizations.
• Industry buy-in through the creation of active partnerships to address workshop goals.
• Follow-up meetings after the workshop as well as a defined timeline for future activities and engagement.
