THE FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING

It is expected that by 2025 there will be 2 million jobs in manufacturing. As part of Manufacturing Day, our exhibit will showcase over 50 of the latest machines, controls, and automation technologies that students can expect to encounter as they pursue their STEM careers.

Our portfolio of CNC Lathes, Vertical Machining Centers, Multi- tasking Machining Centers, Wire EDM, metal and plastic Additive Manufacturing, and CMM equipment will be staffed by members of the Methods workforce, who can share their industry knowledge and experiences with your students.

We welcome any student – young or young at heart – to join us as we do our part to inspire the next generation of skilled workers in Manufacturing.
