With CAMX taking place earlier this year, it’s more important than ever to plan ahead and get an idea of who will be exhibiting. Providing a platform for the latest industry trends and technologies, educational programming and opportunities to network with exhibitors and suppliers, CAMX continues to keep its attendees and exhibitors at the forefront of the composites industry.

As in years past, CW solicited CAMX exhibitors to share the technologies and services that customers can expect to see on display at their booths. What follows is Part 1 of an alphabetical exhibit preview lineup that highlights some of these software, materials, equipment and services. Company names are linked directly back to the original preview article. Part 2 will cover the remaining exhibitor previews, and will be released the first week of September.
