How to work this show
Ask for build-rate and density data on your alloy or polymer, the post-processing line it needs, and what a qualified part costs.
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.
