2014 So Much to See, So Little Time to See it

摘要

FABTECH 2014, held in Atlanta last November, set records for attendance and exhibitor space, and served as a showcase for hundreds of new-product introductions. Here's our edition of a top-10, trying to sample a little bit of everything; we'll have plenty more in coming issues. FABTECH 2014 brought a wealth of innovation and technology solutions to Atlanta. Held from November 11 to 13, the show, the largest annual metalforming, fabricating, welding and finishing event in North America, set records for numbers of attendees, exhibitors and floorspace (for a non-Chicago FABTECH). More than 30,800 attendees from over 70 countries attended FABTECH 2014. During the three-day expo, attendees visited with the more than 1400 exhibitors to see live equipment demonstrations and compare products side-by-side to find cost-saving solutions. The following new-product announcements represent just a smattering of the exhibits, which covered more than 550,000 sq. ft.; look for more technology introductions from FABTECH 2014 in future issues of MetalForming and Fabricating Product News.
