03.25.13 ShapeFidelity to Exhibit at Aviation Week MRO Conference
ShapeFidelity, Inc. will be exhibiting at the MRO Americas Conference & Exhibition April 16-18 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. SFI will be showcasing scanning capabilities as they relate to the aviation maintenance and repair industry.
The SFI booth, #1245, will focus on the digital assembly process made possible through 3D scanning. The process allows MRO providers to have a more detailed picture of aircraft condition than the current process provices and improves the quality of manufacturing, reduces cost and saves time.
The MRO Americas Conference will explore the future of aviation and defense maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) through a series of drill-down discussions and networking opportunities drawing nearly 10,000 industry and government professionals. The event will also host an exhibition hall with more than 700 MRO product and service providers.
