Last week, Jack Keller and Brandon Schele attended the MxD Summit in Chicago, celebrating its 10-year anniversary. It was great connecting with and hearing from manufacturing companies, vendors, and other industry experts on how they are embracing digital manufacturing, the challenges they’ve faced along the way, and the vision for manufacturing in the years ahead. It was particularly interesting to hear how the government and defense industrial base are using digital technologies to optimize manufacturing and increase productivity in a complex geopolitical landscape. Thanks to MxD for a great event and the opportunity to stay ahead in the digital manufacturing space!
