Additive Manufacturing Media is hosting a “3D Printing Workshop for Job Shops” on Sept. 15, 2022, at Chicago’s McCormick Place, where it is co-located with IMTS 2022.
In this concentrated, half-day seminar, participants can learn how machining facilities are applying 3D printers for tooling and running parts that do not make sense on traditional machining centers. The workshop is about machining — and using lower cost 3D printing capability to make machine tools more efficient.
The focus will be on 3D printers at the price point of midrange machine tools on down to desktop machines, applied specifically in the context of machine shop work. Learn how 3D printing can help your shop with prototyping, tooling, production and more at additiveworkshops.com.
