How to work this show
Compare cut quality on your thickness range, gas and power use, and the bending or welding cell around the machine, not only the headline speed.
Before the show, shortlist exhibitors from the official exhibitor list. After it, compare the machines you saw in the MBB machine directory and work out the installed cost with total installed cost.
Write down the material, tolerance and volume you need before you go. Ask every exhibitor the same questions, then compare the answers on MBB.
