I hope you can join us on November 21st at 1pm EST as we present “How Advanced Manufacturing Can Help Resolve DMSMS Issues.” This webinar will improve our awareness regarding Advanced Manufacturing capabilities as they relate to resolving DMSMS issues. You may be familiar with Additive Manufacturing, which is under the Advanced Manufacturing umbrella, but there are many different technologies in use and on the horizon that could potentially be brought to bear on resolving DMSMS issues we face. Additive Manufacturing has long been looked to as a future panacea, but there are significant requirements when it comes to the materials used, qualification, intellectual property and other resources such as manpower, equipment. However, the possibilities are still intriguing, to say the least! We’ll have Mr. Miguel (Mike) Rodriguez-Gist, Jr., the Advanced Manufacturing Program Lead in the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Integrated Logistics Support Center (ILSC) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, as our guest. The discussion will be facilitated by our very own Mr. Tracy Daubenspeck. I hope to see you there! Register below…
