The Last Tactical Mile: Additive Manufacturing for Metal Casting Workshop

Step Into the Future of Metal Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing Technologies

As metal additive manufacturing technologies continue to evolve, foundries are rethinking how parts are designed, prototyped, and produced. Whether it’s for rapid prototyping, end-use components, or high-precision tooling, AM technologies like direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and selective laser melting (SLM) are transforming what’s possible.

This one-day intensive workshop is designed to help you master these advanced 3D printing technologies and understand how to apply them alongside or in place of traditional manufacturing processes.

Raising the bar on high-impact education and networking for foundries and their supply chain partners.

Additive manufacturing for metal casting is a growing area of expertise. Foundries leverage the technology to gain speed-to-market advantages, cast complex parts, reduce scrap, and enable global competitiveness.

This one-day workshop will further inform and educate foundry technical personnel regarding best practices for utilizing additive manufacturing technologies. Moreover, the in-person format facilitates discussion between workshop participants.

As a result of participation in the aggressive one-day workshop, attendees will understand current and emerging AM technology applications for metal casting while connecting to an innovative group of professionals to create value over time.
