    WESTEC – Prototype to Production: How Additive Will Influence Manufacturing

    Innovations | Technologies | Networking | Knowledge

    Additive manufacturing continues to grow and provide unprecedented opportunities for manufacturers both large and small. It is predicted that the current worldwide sales pace of AM products and services will be close to $9 billion, with future growth doubling by 2020. This explosive growth will undoubtedly disrupt how you think about, plan, and execute your existing manufacturing process. Now is the time to prepare your business and your team for this technology and position your company for the future.

    To help you in your journey, SME’s Smart Manufacturing Series featuring Additive Manufacturing seminars have been developed to offer you exclusive access to industry leaders and experts who are implementing AM in their business operations. Join us at our next offering, Prototype to Production: How Additive Will Influence Manufacturing, which will be held alongside WESTEC on September 14 in Los Angeles, CA.
