New Space & AM: Current Applications driving industrialization & technological challenges

Orme leads the Additive Manufacturing activities ranging from engineering and manufacturing of new designs that differentiate Boeing products; to developing new materials and processes; to establishing the digital thread of the end-to-end values stream.
She is a renowned pioneer, innovator and leader in Additive Manufacturing, where her seminal work spans three decades and has resulted in 15 US patents and numerous peer-reviewed journal articles. She has a rich and diverse professional background, having begun her career in academia where she rose to the rank of Full Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California Irvine.
There, she established globally recognized research laboratories in the field that is now termed ‘Additive Manufacturing,’ where she developed methods for controlled electrostatically charged and deflected molten metal droplet deposition for precision manufacturing, direct writing of electronic components, and precise powder production. Subsequently, she transitioned from academia to high tech startups where she served as the Chief Technology Officer of Morf3D, a company that is focused on producing and delivering flight-qualified additively manufactured hardware to the aerospace industry. From Morf3D she was recruited by Boeing to lead Additive Manufacturing across all business units.

Haddad currently leads Collins Aerospace’s Additive Design and Manufacturing organization. In this role, he is responsible for a global team working on all facets of Additive Manufacturing including digital tool chain, design for additive, training development, material characterization, and industrialization all on behalf of internal Collins business unit customers. Haddad’s organization has established two additive production facilities in Singapore and Monroe, North Carolina that are focused on delivering flight-ready hardware to Collins business units. Haddad has held positions of increasing responsibility in finance, operations strategy, strategic development, and supply chain across his nearly two decades of experience with Collins. His previous work experience includes Johnson & Johnson, Stanley Works, and The Hartford. He started his career as an engineer officer in the U.S. Army.

Kety is currently leading the publication’s editorial and content activities. She has a unique gift for knowing how to grab an audience's attention on insights that matter – in this case, everything related to additive manufacturing. She believes that a wide range of innovations still have to be discovered about the technologies that shape the world of tomorrow and she has made it her objective at 3D ADEPT Media.
