Additive Manufacturing Workshop for Automotive (AMWA) Program Now Available
The technical program for the inaugural Additive Manufacturing Workshop for Automotive (AMWA) is now live.
The technical program for the inaugural Additive Manufacturing Workshop for Automotive (AMWA) at the 2019 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) is now live. The workshop takes place on January 16 in Detroit, Michigan, and will be held on the NAIAS Atrium Stage at the Cobo Center.
The presenters include additive manufacturing (AM) technology executives, designers, engineers and thought leaders from Ford Motor Company, Carbon, Siemens, Hackrod, Desktop Metal, Sodick and Renishaw.
Topics focus on end-use part manufacturing, production at scale, AM integration and more. The workshop will dive deep into how original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are using additive technology to stay ahead of the curve and how 3D printing is impacting automotive design and production. Each session will feature case studies that demonstrate the successes and obstacles of 3D printing for production.
