Hosted by The Fabricator and the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, this one-day tabletop event brings together engineers, product innovators, machine builders, and systems integrators at one of the largest manufacturing hubs in the U.S. Attend to find the latest production technology, make valuable connections, and gain practical knowledge you can apply immediately on the shop floor.

Alongside hands-on exhibits, you'll have a chance to hear industry perspectives from keynote speaker Colin Cosgrove, President and CEO of Laystrom Manufacturing Co. In a focused, high-impact environment of the event, local buyers connect with trusted suppliers and discover new solutions.

For the latter, visit our Gold-certified partner 3DMakerWorld, Inc and see live demonstrations of Artec Leo and Artec Spider II, with brochures and expert guidance on additional Artec 3D scanning solutions also available. Stop by to learn how portable, ultra-accurate 3D scanning can elevate your fabrication, machining, and quality control workflows.

Artec Leo enables fast, wireless scanning of large fabricated assemblies, welded frames, and tooling, while Artec Spider II captures fine details such as brackets or sheet metal parts, ideal for inspection and CAD comparison. In Artec Studio software, you can align scans, perform deviation analysis, generate accurate meshes, and export files directly to any CAD software for redesign or validation. The 3DMakerWorld team will be happy to discuss real manufacturing case studies, and help you tackle the challenges of your manufacturing projects.
