Audio system from NASA Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) and Scarbo Efficiency Corp have been introduced as keynotes for this 12 months’s Additive Manufacturing Customers Group (AMUG) Convention.
The convention, which can happen in Chicago, Illinois, from March 30 – April 3, 2025, will kick off its Tuesday and Thursday programming with Ryan Watkins, Analysis Engineer with NASA JPL and Joe Scarbo, President of Scarbo Efficiency Corp, taking to the Predominant Stage to share their additive manufacturing consumer tales.
Organisers say Watkins’ and Scarbo’s keynote shows will function ‘intriguing automobile designs and exhilarating house exploration experiences’ and ‘convey the messages of pragmatic decision-making coupled with innovation to push the boundaries of what’s potential with additive manufacturing.’
Watkins’ presentation will concentrate on ‘linking design with additive manufacturing’ within the context of growing 3D printed, crushable constructions for high-speed impression attenuation functions. He’ll talk about the distinctive context that required NASA to develop this new class of crushable constructions, together with the manufacturing and design boundaries that had been overcome to realize this purpose. His presentation can be anticipated to spotlight each the successes and challenges of expertise infusion within the comparatively conservative area of aerospace engineering.

On Thursday, Scarbo will share his firm’s adoption of additive manufacturing in its most up-to-date efficiency automobiles, and ship grounded insights on when AM was, and certainly wasn’t, the appropriate course of. Beneath the Scarbo Classic (SV) model, his staff has created the SV RSR, which raced within the Pikes Peak Worldwide Hill Climb as Ken Block’s Hoonipigasus, and the SV Rover, which ran within the Baja 1000. Following the Baja race, the SV Rover transitioned into the world’s first street-legal Hypertruck, powered by a 1,100-horsepower supercharged V8 or a 1,000-horsepower electrical drive. Each SV automobiles comprise quite a few 3D printed elements.
AMUG’s Predominant Stage agenda is full with the beforehand introduced Innovator’s Showcase that includes AM veteran Joe Allison. Allison will likely be offered with the Innovators Award in recognition of what has been described as his “pivotal position” throughout the 3D printing business.
The AMUG Convention will likely be held March 30 – April 3, 2025, on the Hilton Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. Registration is open now.
