AeroDef Manufacturing 2016 S
ME’s AeroDef Manufacturing with Composites Manufac- turing event will be taking place Feb. 8-10 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA. During this three-day event, attendees will experience hundreds of aero- space and defense manufacturing solutions and learn about transformative technologies from industry experts. OEMs will be on site to discuss future plans and what’s needed from the extended manufacturing enterprise. Event highlights include: • A new Aerofied Preferred Supplier Pavilion offers networking opportunities for attendees, prequalified contract suppliers and decision makers from aero- space and defense companies.
• High-level keynotes from Northrop Grumman Aero- space Systems, LMI-Aerospace and The Spaceship Co. will provide in-depth information on the James Webb Space telescope, automation and composites for aerospace.
• Comprehensive workshops are going to cover a variety of essential manufacturing topics, including an introduction to composites, tooling for composites manufacturing, additive manufacturing for aerospace, and assembly and joining of composites. A Q&A with
Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Abaris Training Resourc- es Inc., Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, and Smart Blades Inc. are part of each session as well. To learn more about AeroDef and/or to register, visit
