Join our webinar to hear how hybrid additive manufacturing (AM) could save your business time and money by increasing process accuracy through single datum setting. You can also hear about the free support we’re offering smaller manufacturing businesses to help them adopt or enhance the use of additive manufacturing technologies.

To describe the benefits of hybrid AM in more detail, we will be sharing two of our hybrid related case studies that demonstrate the synergies and advantages of combining additive manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing.

You will hear presentations from AFRC Tier One Partner, DMG MORI and Tier Two Member, Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies (HMT).

We will update you on how the Additive Manufacturing – Business and Technology Support (AM-BATS) project is already helping small and medium sized manufacturers make the correct business and technology investment decisions in additive manufacturing.

Register for our webinar and discover the many ways hybrid manufacturing could advance your business.
