SME SPEAKS
you are new to the industry, a great way to gain exposure is to attend the newcomers networking reception at RAPID + TCT on Monday, May 8 from 5 to 6 pm. This year, I’m serving as the chair of SME’s Additive Manufacturing Community; our entire group will be present at this event. The Additive Manufacturing Community advisors have over 100 years of combined experience in the 3D printing industry. We are a diverse group with backgrounds in medical, aero- space, automotive and academia, spanning techniques from plastic to metal to even hybrid technologies. We all live and breathe this technology on a daily basis, and it’s our passion to bring it to the next level. As leaders, we can share with all of you our experience and vision and help guide you toward what 3D printing can do for you. Join us to start your journey! Hope to see you there.
