The AGMA 3D Printing Committee completed its fifth annual guided tour of the RAPID + TCT show floor April 8–10 in Detroit, offering members a curated look at some of the most exciting innovations in additive manufacturing. With over 400 exhibitors on display, narrowing the field to just fifteen standout companies was no small task. Nonetheless, the 2025 tour successfully highlighted a diverse mix of material suppliers, machine manufacturers, industry vendors, and breakthrough technologies shaping the future of manufacturing.
The year has started strong for AGMA’s Emerging Technology activities, with some of the highest registration numbers to date. I’d like to highlight our March webinar, where we debuted the committee white paper “The Near Future of Mechanical Drive for Humanoid Robots” alongside a panel of experts who contributed to it.
