machining; and displays of welding, metal treating and marking equipment. Exhibits will highlight in-process mon- itoring and multi-functional beam capabilities, as well as community col- laboration on design, simulation, mate- rials and quality to produce the most capable systems to support industrial manufacturing applications.
Abrasive Machining/Sawing/ Finishing—North Building, Level 3
For applications that require high tolerance and precision surface finish, this pavilion has the technology you need. These technologies are particu- larly important to the automotive, aero- space and medical industries, all of which require a high degree of accuracy and precision. See the latest in all vari- eties of grinding technology, as well as sawing and cutoff machines and a vari- ety of finishing technologies.
Additive Manufacturing— West Building, Level 3
See the continued improvements in materials and processes for additive manufacturing, including powder-bed fusion, binder jetting, material extru- sion and directed energy deposition.
Controls & CAD-CAM—
East Building, Levels 2 and 3
The world of custom automation and the latest software is on display in this pavilion, everything needed to optimize plant operations and cost effi- ciency.
At IMTS, controls, CAD/CAM and other digitally enabled tools will help define Smart Manufacturing, the Industrial Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and other advancements in the dig- ital enterprise. Visitors will learn how to be part of the trend to further con- nect islands of digital data into a fully integrated solution from design to per- formance to recycle and reuse.
Quality Assurance— East Building, Level 3
This is where you'll find the metrol- ogy equipment and systems to keep your processes on track and find con- fidence and security in the quality of your output. It's also where you'll find the equipment that will check the accu- racy of your machines, an important step to protecting your investments.

Among the Exhibitors Showcasing Their Wares
Greenerd Press & Machine Co. will highlight its extensive hydraulic press and automation capabilities, highlight- ed by a large 2500-ton compression molding press it’s building as part of a seven-press order. The press features an innovative mold transfer system that the firm says will significantly improve ergonomics and safety dynamics for operators and reduce press idle time between cycles.
Hypertherm will showcase its Omax waterjet-cutting technology, including the new OptiMax lineup promising faster and more accurate print-to-part cutting. And, Hypertherm’s Robotmas- ter team will demonstrate the latest version of its offline programming soft- ware for robots that pledges to take robot programming time down from hours to minutes with an intuitive pro- gramming workflow and powerfully integrated CAD/CAM functionality.
Wintriss Controls Group will demonstrate new, advanced features in its ShopFloorConnect OEE and data- collection software, including the new
ShopFloorConnect PM Track- er that enables users to track important machine preven- tive maintenance (PM) items by run-hours or machine cycles, issues targeted alerts when an item requires PM, and tracks the maintenance work history for all machines. ShopFloorConnect 6.0 also features a new universal inter- active application program interface that enables users
