Manufacturing RENEW3D 2024 will be August 27-29
Join us to discover the pathway to sustainability in your industry and help define the future of smart manufacturing with bio-based materials!
Manufacturing RENEW3D brings researchers and industry together to define the future of sustainable additive manufacturing using forest-derived, bio-based materials. The 3-day event will feature presentations and panel discussions with the thought leaders driving sustainability across multiple industries. Conference attendees will have several networking opportunities during a unique evening event and will take a tour of Oak Ridge National Laboratory campus as well as the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility. Manufacturing RENEW3D aims to drive collaboration between research and industry in order to expedite the adoption of both bio-based composites and large-area, high-throughput, additive manufacturing on a wider scale. As an attendee, we will solicit your input on critical challenges integrating these areas in order to inform and focus future research.
Held at Wells Conference Center at
The University of Maine
131 Munson Road, Orono, ME 04469
