Advanced Manufacturing Summit — San Antonio
A working session for warfighters, SPOs, and additive manufacturers at UTSA's Makerspace.
A one-day working session co-hosted with the UTSA Makerspace. We bring together warfighters, Sustainment Program Office engineers, and qualified additive manufacturers to move real parts — not just slides — off the backlog.
Expect live demos on the Makerspace floor, case reviews of brackets and tooling currently in the TDP Library, and breakouts on accelerating qualification cycles for non-flight-critical components.
Tickets include lunch, materials, and post-event access to the summit's working documents.
