Could handheld laser welding solve a problem or create new opportunities for your company? What about metal or carbon-fiber 3D printing? Could a compact, industrial grade 3kW fiber laser cutter be the right solution for bringing that capability to your shop?
Join us for an interactive workshop showcasing these technologies to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and connections needed to thrive in an ever-evolving market. Learn how short the return on investment has been for Markforged 3D-printing customers, see samples of what they can do, see the process in person. Use an IPG laser welder and see how easy it is to draw a high-quality bead. See the blinding speed of the Amada Brevis laser, the user-friendly setup, and the small footprint that can still accommodate a 4’x8’ sheet.
