Current & Past Activities

Want to host an AMC Event?

Additive Manufacturting (AKA 3D Printing) is becoming a mainstream production method, but the KY and TN regions have a shortage in skilled technicans to meet the demand. Let us come to demonstrate to your community the transformative power of additive manufacturing by hosting an event with our mobile additive manufacturing system. 

The Mobile AMP Team Provides a demonstration of Additive Manufacturing advantages, various 3D printers, automation technology, sample products and more!

We also provide demos of the Micro Factory, which is a cost effective additive system that was developed to allow educators and industry technicians to quickly integrate additive manufacturing into their workflow.
