SUMMARY:Where Additive Works: Real Applications\, New Capabilities
DESCRIPTION:Customer Success with Markforged\, Plus the Debut of Formlabs 3D Printing Technology \nJoin GSC for an afternoon of learning with Markforged and Formlabs. See machines up close and personal\, hear from industry experts\, and learn about real world applications from GSC customer Logomould and Perfect Plastics. \nAgenda \n\n11:45 a.m. – Arrival & Check-in\n12:00 p.m. – Complimentary Lunch & Networking\n1:00 p.m. – Presentations\n\n\nMEET YOUR PRESENTERS \n\n Doug Piazza\, GSC 3D | Expanding Possibilities: GSC’s End-to-End Additive Manufacturing Ecosystem \nLearn about GSC’s end-to-end engineering and manufacturing solutions\, anchored by our long-term partnership with Markforged. This also marks the debut of our exciting new partnership with Formlabs\, further broadening the range of applications our customers can address—from prototyping to production. Together\, these solutions help customers accelerate development cycles\, reduce manufacturing costs\, improve part performance\, and scale additive adoption with confidence. \n\n  \n Tom McClaughry\, PMP | From Prototype to Production: Driving Real-World Impact with Additive Manufacturing \nTom McClaughry\, PMP\, is an experienced manufacturing and technology leader focused on additive manufacturing and digital transformation. He helps organizations improve how parts are designed and produced by applying advanced manufacturing technologies in practical ways. Tom works closely with engineering and operations teams to identify high-impact applications that drive efficiency and scalability. His approach centers on moving beyond prototyping into production-ready solutions. At this event\, he will share insights on how companies are leveraging additive technologies to increase agility and reduce costs. He has also recently launched an engineering and 3D printing business as a growth initiative for Perfect Plastic Printing. \n\n Katelyn Kingsley\, Formlabs | How Formlabs Can Move the Needle for Your Company \nKatelyn Kingsley is a Channel Manager at Formlabs\, where she works closely with partners to drive growth and enable successful adoption of additive manufacturing solutions. In this session\, she will provide an overview of the Formlabs ecosystem\, including its material offerings and real-world customer applications. Katelyn will also highlight manufacturing-focused case studies\, showcasing proven results from industry leaders such as Eaton\, Presto Products\, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. \n  \n\nJeff Quackenboss & Matt Stevens | Mechanical Design Technology Instructors\, Moraine Park Technical College \nThese instructors will highlight how 3D printing is integrated into multiple student learning experiences across our programs. Examples include printing core and cavity molds for plastic injection molding\, creating end-of-arm tooling for robotic automation\, and producing custom fixtures for manufacturing workpieces. The latter applications are part of a year-long capstone course where students from three different programs collaborate to design components or assemblies and develop the processes needed to manufacture them.

SUMMARY:Smarter by Design – Manufacturing Forward 2026
DESCRIPTION:Real-World Strategies for Smarter Manufacturing\nExplore the dynamic landscape where design meets fabrication\, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in manufacturing. Through insightful presentations\, interactive showcases\, and collaborative discussions\, attendees will gain invaluable knowledge to stay ahead of the competition. \nEvent Agenda \n\n8:00 AM: Arrivals & Networking\n8:30 AM: Kick-off & Welcome\n8:40 AM: From Punch Cards to 3D Printing: Engineering at the Speed of Change\n9:10 AM: Using AI Effectively in the Modern Workplace\n9:40 AM: Break / Networking\n10:40 AM: Using AI with SOLIDWORKS: Assistants\, Automation\, and What’s Coming\n11:10 AM: Robotics & Physical Automation in Machining\n11:40 AM – 01:30 PM: Closing / Networking / Showcases / Lunch\n\n\n\nFrom Punch Cards to 3D Printing: Engineering at the Speed of Change\nSpeaker: Paul Terpstra\, Klover Products\n\nA longtime SOLIDWORKS and Markforged customer\, Paul Terpstra has turned precision engineering into world-stage impact; designing and handcrafting parabolic microphones used by broadcasters at every Olympic Games since 2016 and on the sidelines of the National Football League. From his Wisconsin workshop to the biggest moments in sports\, his work quite literally captures the sound of history. \n  \n\n\nUsing AI Effectively in the Modern Workplace\nSpeaker: Ben Gumness\, GSC 3D \nWhile more than 15% of the world is actively using artificial intelligence\, only a small fraction are leveraging it proficiently—especially within the workplace. Many organizations have begun experimenting with AI\, but few have developed the strategies\, workflows\, and skills needed to unlock its full potential. This session will explore practical ways to move beyond basic usage and toward meaningful AI enablement across your team. Join us to learn how to build capability\, drive adoption\, and confidently integrate the latest technology into your everyday business processes. \n\n\nUsing AI with SOLIDWORKS: Assistants\, Automation\, and What’s Coming\nSpeaker: Cody Pendzich\, GSC 3D \nThis session looks at how AI can support SOLIDWORKS design work today and in the near future. We will briefly set a baseline with a few built-in automation features\, then focus on newer assistant-style capabilities and upcoming companions like Leo and Marie. We will also share practical ways to use external tools like ChatGPT alongside SOLIDWORKS for documentation\, ideation\, and troubleshooting\, with examples you can apply to your day-to-day CAD process. \n\n\nRobotics & Physical Automation in Machining\nSpeaker: John McCarthy\, Sales Engineer | Wisconsin Automation \nIn today’s competitive manufacturing landscape\, robotic automation is a game-changer for efficiency\, quality\, and profitability. This session will explore key aspects of successful automation\, including what/when to automate\, guiding principles for implementation\, and critical considerations when getting started.
