NGen’s Supercluster Project Collaboration Session is the place to find project partners. This special presentation welcomes companies – big and small – as well as researchers, organizations and all others engaged in advanced manufacturing to hear short project pitches for Supercluster funding. It’s the place to learn what transformative manufacturing projects are in the works and discover if there is a partner or a place for you in a Supercluster project and connect with the NGen project team to discuss your project idea.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION: America Makes…A Brief History and Lessons Learned
A walk through the history and lessons learned of establishing America Makes, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute. America Makes is the initial flagship of the Manufacturing USA Innovation Institutes and is a public-private partnership jointly funded by the US government and private industry to advance additive manufacturing technologies.
JOB SHOP APPRECIATION NIGHT
Conveniently source solutions for your manufacturing operations — without having to close your shop during business hours — at MMTS’s Job Shop Appreciation Night. Network with your colleagues, meet new people, talk about pressing issues, share ideas and solutions and create lasting connections with people from your industry.
KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: The Future of Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing are poised to change how countless companies design and produce products worldwide. The technology can improve product performance, reduce material and weight, and enhance aesthetics. Applications of AM in the aerospace, medical, energy, automotive, and consumer products industries are very persuasive. Even so, the AM industry must overcome challenges. Costs associated with design for AM, equipment, materials, post-processing, and inspection have slowed adoption.
Wohlers will underscore the vast opportunities and successes provided by AM, while describing key hurdles that need to be overcome.
