Fastech LLC is very excited to announce our participation in the 2025 Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference, cementing another year of collaboration, innovation, and growth within the additive manufacturing community. This year’s event is set to take place from March 30th to April 3rd in Chicago, and promises to be an unmissable opportunity for those who live and breathe manufacturing.
The additive manufacturing sector is advancing at lightning speed. Technologies that once seemed futuristic are now integral to production lines and research labs. Staying ahead requires not only knowledge of the technical side of AM but also an understanding of how others are successfully applying these technologies.
AMUG is the ultimate platform for gaining this edge, offering access to cutting-edge advancements, practical applications, and, most importantly, the wisdom of a global network of professionals who are driving the future of AM. If you work in aerospace, healthcare, energy, automotive, or any industry that values innovative manufacturing strategies, this event is a must.
What Makes AMUG a Pillar of Additive Manufacturing?
The AMUG Conference isn’t just another trade show or event; it’s the gold standard for professionals in the additive manufacturing (AM) space. What sets AMUG apart is its emphasis on connecting and educating users of AM technology across industries. Each year, the conference draws engineers, designers, executives, suppliers, and educators, creating a hub for knowledge-sharing and real-world applications of 3D printing.
Attendees gain access to hands-on workshops, technical presentations, and open forums to tackle challenges, discover new solutions, and stay ahead in the rapidly evolving AM landscape. Beyond the knowledge, AMUG fosters community, offering attendees the chance to engage with peers who are as passionate about innovation as they are. Whether you’re a veteran of additive manufacturing or just exploring its potential, AMUG delivers insights that can transform your processes and strategies.

Exciting Presentation by Tad Steinberg and Alan Pearce
One of the highlights of AMUG 2025 will be a presentation on Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), delivered by Fastech LLC’s very own Alan Pearce alongside Tad Steinberg from Siemens Energy. Join them on Wednesday, April 2nd, at 10:30 AM, as they present “Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing – From Development to Production.”
Fastech is redefining additive manufacturing with groundbreaking advancements that blend innovation and precision. Our expertise focuses on two key technologies: Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and Laser-Wire Directed Energy Deposition (LWDED). These methods enable the creation of large, complex metal components with exceptional efficiency and reduced material waste.
WAAM technology is revolutionizing the way large-scale components are manufactured, offering unparalleled material efficiency and cost savings. The session will focus on the transformation of WAAM from a promising development-stage technology to a critical tool shaping the industrial production landscape.
As we move forward in our WAAM development, ensuring robust material testing and prototype validation is crucial. Our efforts are centred on advancing Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) by rigorously testing and qualifying materials under high-temperature conditions. This focused approach will confirm material durability and performance while enhancing the cost-efficiency of post-WAAM processes.
Attendees will gain insights into:
💥 Bridging the Gap: How WAAM enables a seamless transition from development prototypes to high-quality, production-ready components.
💥 Material Efficiency: WAAM’s ability to drastically cut material waste by only depositing material where it is needed.
💥 Applications in Industry: Real-world examples of WAAM, including its growing adoption in energy, aerospace, and heavy manufacturing sectors.
💥 Collaboration between Innovators: The partnership between Fastech LLC and Siemens Energy showcases how expertise in different areas can come together to refine and deploy groundbreaking solutions.
This session will also cover Siemens Energy’s innovative use of WAAM across different part families, detailing the business cases developed and the tangible added value this technology brings to their operations.
Companies looking to adopt sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing practices will not want to miss this opportunity to learn how WAAM is transforming industrial production without compromising quality or scalability.
