3D Printing Roundtable

FRC FTC Mechanical
Join us for an engaging roundtable discussion on the powerful role of 3D printing in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). This session is designed to provide valuable insights for both beginners and advanced users, exploring how 3D printing is revolutionizing the design, prototyping, and manufacturing of custom parts for robotics teams.

From creating lightweight and durable components to rapid prototyping complex mechanisms, 3D printing is a game-changer for teams striving to gain a competitive edge. We will cover practical applications, best practices, and case studies from teams that have successfully integrated 3D printing into their build processes. Whether you're new to 3D printing or looking to refine your skills, this discussion will offer key takeaways for elevating your team's performance in FRC and FTC.

Attendees will have the chance to interact with experienced users and industry experts, exchange ideas, and discover how 3D printing can drive innovation and creativity in the robotics space. This is a must-attend event for anyone interested in enhancing their team’s engineering capabilities and fostering a deeper understanding of additive manufacturing.
