5 Reasons to Attend the Additive Manufacturing Conference + Expo

Registration is now open for the 2021 Additive Manufacturing Conference + Expo (AMC+E). The event takes place October 12-14 at the Duke Energy Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, hometown to Additive Manufacturing Media as well as Modern Machine Shop. Attendees and media can register now at additiveconference.com.

If your business is applying or evaluating 3D printing technology for production, then the Additive Manufacturing Conference + Expo is for you. Here are 5 great reasons to attend:

1. Focus on production. With a program curated by the editors of Additive Manufacturing Media, the AMC+E focuses on industrial applications for 3D printing, specifically the use of this technology for making end-use parts. Presentations will focus on AM for production and cover issues such as automation, postprocessing and supply chain concerns in addition to the part-making process. Registration also includes access to conference proceedings. 
2. Expanded show floor. This year’s expanded exhibit hall will feature more booths and companies than ever before. Equipment suppliers will be on hand, but so will many capable users of 3D printing technology. For the business owner who is interested in additive manufacturing but not yet ready to take the plunge, the Expo will be a chance to meet with service providers and assess specific needs or applications. 
3. Networking opportunities. There will be ample opportunity to meet with industry experts, technology providers, business owners and more in between the technical sessions. Registration includes lunch as well as access to the opening and grand receptions. Learn from fellow attendees and connect with the people driving additive manufacturing forward.
4. The Cool Parts Showcase. The award-winning video series The Cool Parts Show is bringing cool 3D printed parts to this year’s event in the form of a competition. (Want in? Enter by August 13.) Check out the finalists in the Showcase display on the Expo floor and make sure to vote on a favorite! Winners will be announced during the event and featured in episodes of the show. 
5. Co-located event. This year’s AMC+E is co-located with the inaugural Top Shops Expo + Conference, an extension of the Top Shops Benchmarking programs conducted by Additive Manufacturing’s sister publications Modern Machine Shop, Plastics Technology, Products Finishing and CompositesWorld. In addition to a program focused on supply chain solutions for the North American durable goods manufacturing sector, Top Shops will also feature a sourcing pavilion highlighting leading contract manufacturers and more.
