About this event
The Last Tactical Mile Seminar Series: Additive Manufacturing for Metal Casting events are designed for casting professionals who need greater agility, shorter lead times, and more.
Who should attend
If you work in or around metal casting and are under pressure to move faster without sacrificing quality, this seminar is built for you. - **Casting professionals** looking for more agile workflows, especially if long tooling cycles, design changes, or production bottlenecks are slowing you down. - **Foundry leaders and operations teams** who want practical ways to shorten lead times, improve responsiveness, and evaluate where additive manufacturing can strengthen existing casting processes. - **Manufacturing engineers and technical teams** exploring how additive methods can support patternmaking, tooling, prototyping, or low-volume production in a metal casting environment. - **Defense and advanced manufacturing stakeholders** who need to understand how faster iteration and more flexible production can support mission-driven timelines and supply chain resilience. - **Decision-makers evaluating new capabilities** who want a clearer picture of where additive manufacturing fits, what problems it solves well, and how to think about adoption realistically. - **Anyone responsible for delivering cast components faster** and wants grounded insight into how additive manufacturing for metal casting can help create speed, flexibility, and capacity where it matters most.
