Registration is now open for the 2015 AeroDef Manufacturing Conference & Exposition, the aerospace manufacturing industry event produced by SME, an organization dedicated to supporting manufacturing through training, events, media and membership. AeroDef, which is joined this year by Composites Manufacturing 2015, is developed in partnership with the largest original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including Bell Helicopter, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon.
AeroDef 2015 will be held April 20-23 at the Hilton Anatole, Dallas, TX, with exhibits open April 21-22. The new location was selected for its proximity to the thousands of aerospace and defense companies throughout the Southwest. Given the surge in demand for aircraft, AeroDef is increasingly important for those making capital investments for their enterprise.
"Anyone with an interest in aerospace will have something to gain from attending AeroDef, whether they are looking for new knowledge and technologies to increase production and delivery times, or to meet the people who influence the industry's future," said George N. Bullen, President/CEO, Smart Blades Inc.
The OEMs support AeroDef as a way to collaborate with suppliers across the extended manufacturing enterprise and to find integrated solutions necessary for long-term competitiveness. The exhibits, speakers, panel discussions and technical conference will focus on issues and technologies critical to the industry, including the digital tapestry in manufacturing, flexible manufacturing, additive manufacturing and the use of advanced materials in aircraft.
The exposition floor is arranged by technology zones:
- Composites manufacturing, metals and advanced materials
- Contract manufacturing
- Digital and additive manufacturing
- 3D printing
- Finishing and coatings
- Integrated assembly
- Automation
