6 First-Time Additive Manufacturing Exhibitors at IMTS
Find these companies that are exhibiting for the first time in IMTS’s Additive Manufacturing Sector (in the West Building). Their offerings include printers, parts and powder, with areas of expertise ranging from large-format to atmosphere control to supply chain solutions.
“Every successive IMTS delivers a more technologically diverse Additive Manufacturing Sector and presents more opportunities to integrate AM into manufacturing operations,” says Peter R. Eelman, chief experience officer for AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, which owns and produces IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show, being held this week in Chicago, Illinois.
According to AMT, first-time exhibitors in the Additive Manufacturing Sector of the show include these companies:

Caracol, expert on large-format AM, which recently opened a new facility in Texas for North American operations.
Colibrium Additive, which is not a new exhibitor in the same spirit as these others, but rather the new name for established AM technology provider GE Additive after GE’s split. The company now within GE Aerospace provides laser powder bed fusion, electron beam melting and binder jet technology, along with metal powders.
