Mobile Solutions® announced it is going beyond its planned exhibit floor space at the Mesa Convention Center to accommodate the increasing interest in its first annual MasterTech Expo, scheduled March 6-9 in Mesa, Arizona. An adjacent outdoor expanse will essentially double the exhibit area, providing attendees access to more vendors and new product experiences.

The outdoor portion of the venue makes room for more than 25 additional demo vehicles as well as large-scale product showcases and demonstration areas. The space will be closed to the public and engage attendees with new hands-on, visual, and audible experiences in a spacious, uncrowded environment.

The outdoor expansion adds to an overall exhibit floor with several high-value attractions. Twenty-four well-spaced vendor booths will feature special demonstrations of product applications. The stage will spotlight the Rockford Fosgate®-sponsored MasterTech Expo Build-Off and its accompanying awards presentation with featured speakers, plus a technical drawing session with celebrity vehicle designer Dave Kindig. And the in-hall dining space will cater a complimentary buffet for attendees daily.

“When we first envisioned MasterTech Expo, our priority was always to create the highest possible value for attendees,” said Bryan Schmitt, president of Mobile Solutions. “Our attendance numbers show that our message has resonated with the industry. And equally important, the need to expand our exhibit space shows our message has resonated with automotive aftermarket brands as well. We look forward to welcoming attendees this March to our first of many shows.”

DescriptionA natural continuation of the 2D CAD/CAM automation is graduating to 3D modeling and machinery to create complete 3D parts (or sections of parts). This is common in rapid prototyping and saves hours of failed design attempts once the principles are understood and implemented effectively. Learn about the use of 3D scanning technology to capture real-time dimensional data from a vehicle or individual parts. Apply these tools and processes in your own small-batch production for highly customized solutions your clientele will simply not find elsewhere! Pro Tips from seasoned experts are a big part of this session!
Topics Covered▪Terminology of 3D automation such as five-axis CNC routers and 3D printing
▪Choosing the proper 3D modeling software
▪Scanning tools to capture the vehicle or part’s 3D dimensions
▪Examples & applications of applying 2D and 3D automation
