Join the Advanced Manufacturing (AM) Trust Showcase
October 19, 2022
This event will be held at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, Innovation Hub, 2 Merrimack Street in Haverhill, MA from 12:00 noon – 4:00pm EST. Registration, Lunch and Networking starts at 11:00am. Remote online participation will be available.
Strengthening the U.S. Supply Chain
The capabilities of companies involved in additive manufacturing, 3D printing, and hybrid manufactured parts have exploded in the past five years. But many buyers, including government agencies, are still not comfortable purchasing products from them. There’s not enough common understanding of standards, workforce skills, cyber protection, and part certification.
You can help connect these two groups—buyers and sellers—with your new ideas and innovations at the AM Trust Showcase.
