Sign up for from CompositesWorld https://lnkd.in/d-2x7iy and learn about the latest in 3D Printed composites and composite tooling.

Register for this year's Carbon Fiber event. https://www.carbonfiberevent.com/cfnowagenda.html

Listen to Rick Neff of RICK NEFF, LLC as he talks about how additive manufacturing for composite tooling has forged past the challenges and can truly be implemented today for both prototype and production.

Hear from Avner Ben-Bassat, Plataine - Discrete Manufacturing Optimization, speak on the implementation, use and ROI of IIoT and AI technologies in composites manufacturing as it opens new horizons of possibilities.

Benedikt Fengler of SIMUTENCE GmbH will dig into optimization and evaluation of hybrid composites process routes by advanced simulation approaches.

Stay tuned for Marcus Kremers of Airborne and his presentation on the automation and digitalization of Composites.
