      Discussion: AM applications and challenges within the accelerator community 30m

      AM is evolving rapidly forming an integral part of advanced industries technological portfolio, while uptake of this beneficial and money-saving technology by the accelerator community is progressing slowly because of traditionalism, lack of knowledge, and scepticism on compliance with the stringent accelerator requirements.
