Technology Highlights
The theme for IMTS 2022 is Digital Manufacturing. Implemented. “As manufacturers wrestle with supply chain and workforce challenges, they are increasingly searching and adopting digital manufacturing practices and products,” says Peter Eelman, AMT vice president and CXO. “IMTS 2022 will be replete with CNC and additive machine builders; CAD-CAM, modeling, and simulation software; metrology systems; and other digitally-enabled tools.”
“We can expect to see transformative technologies embedded within much of our industry’s traditional machines using automation and robotics, additive manufacturing, augmented and virtual reality, digital twin, generative design, and more,” says Tim Shinbara, AMT vice president and chief technology officer.
IMTS 2022 will again host AMT’s Emerging Technology Center presenting advancements from the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
