Velo3D, Inc., a leading metal additive manufacturing technology company for mission-critical parts, announced its 2022 roadshow, the Seeing is Believing Additive Manufacturing Tour, which will visit 15 U.S. cities throughout 2022. The event series focuses on educating engineers, technology influencers, and key decision makers about the benefits and capabilities of additive manufacturing technology and how Velo3D’s end-to-end solution can transform their businesses.
“When we talk to engineers who are interested in 3D printing technology, that interest is often accompanied by a bit of skepticism attributable to the shortcoming of conventional solutions. These events are directly aimed at helping engineers see what’s truly possible with end-to-end additive manufacturing solutions,” said Renette Youssef, Velo3D Chief Marketing Officer. “At the event, we will introduce attendees to customers currently using additive manufacturing to build the parts they want without compromise. Attendees also get to see and handle real, as-printed parts that leverage the highest performance designs.”
The roadshow series was initially piloted in 2021 in five U.S. cities with hundreds of attendees across all the events. The first show in 2022 took place in Wester Chester, Ohio, on January 20, 2022.
“Our organization is utilizing additive manufacturing to build next-generation energy solutions and have been impressed by Velo3D’s technology,” said Luke Montesano, Project Engineer and Laboratory Manager at Mohawk Innovative Technology, Inc. “I’m invested in myself, which is why I’m invested in Velo3D, as their end-to-end additive manufacturing solution helps our engineering team build the parts they need without compromising the designs. Having attended their roadshow events, I can tell you it’s a great way to explore different use-cases for additive manufacturing technology.”
The single-day events feature presentations from Velo3D leadership team members, contract manufacturers, and customers. Presenters will discuss the capabilities of additive manufacturing technology; the end-to-end process including pre-print preparation, printing, quality assurance, and post processing; material and part qualification; and real-world case studies. Tour dates have been set for the following cities:
- Long Beach, California—Feb. 23
- Detroit, Michigan—March 23
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—April 19
- Boston, Massachusetts—May 26
The tour will also visit Fremont, Calif.; Princeton, N.J.; St. Louis; Washington, D.C.; Salt Lake City; Huntsville, Ala.; Seattle; San Diego; Charlotte, N.C.; and Chicago.
