It is an honor for me to deliver keynote speech at the international conference. This time at ICAME 2022, organized by SRM Institute of Technology, Chennai India. The topic of the speech is on Metal Additive Manufacturing - Current challenges and future demands. Even though the area still new to me, this is the 2nd time, the institute invited me. Hopefully via this platform, Metal Forming Research Lab may be recognized internationally. This time, I am not able to snap the photo during the speech. Credit to Fadzil for the photo.

I would like to acknowledge the organizer for this great event. By hoping the speech given meet their expectation and may benefited to all the participants.
