Congratulations to this year's winners!

Get in on the excitement of the #AMUGTechComp! There are just over 48 hours left to enter. Entries will be displayed at the AMUGexpo & winners announced on stage at #AMUG2023.

Do you live, breathe and eat #additivemanufacturing? Do you work at the cutting edge of AM materials, processes or products? If so, make sure you attend #AMUG2023, AND consider entering the AMUG Technical Competition!

Words of wisdom from a past #AMUG Technical Competition judge: "For the advanced concepts category...do you have a solution to a problem that can only be solved with AM? Is your entry something new or a better iteration of something that has been done before?

If this is your first AMUG experience or your 20th and you have something you believe to be an advanced entry, join the competition, and show off your talents. Win or not, you will get a lot out of entering the competition. Bring on your best effort! You’ll be glad you did."
