Discover new solutions at CMTS

Let the countdown begin to the Canadian manufacturing industry’s 2015 event of the year—the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show. Returning this fall to newly upgraded International Centre (conveniently located just minutes from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport) the event will run from September 28 to October 1, 2015, and this year CMTS promises to support Canadian manufacturers as they “Manufacture the Future.”

“For CMTS 2015, one of the major changes we undertook was to further organize the exhibit halls and related technologies so that visitors can more easily source the equipment and solutions they are seeking,” says event manager, Julie Pike. The show will be held in Halls 1 to 4 with a focus on Advanced Manufacturing in Hall 1, including the debut of the Rapid Canada Pavilion showcasing the latest advancements in additive manufacturing, 3D printing and scanning. Halls 2, 3 and 4 will be dedicated to machine tools, tooling and metalworking technologies.

“Another new concept we’re introducing in 2015 is ‘The Tech Shop’, an interactive learning and lounging area right on the show floor,” adds Pike. “Visitors will be able to take in complimentary ‘tech talks’, where they will hear about and see some of manufacturing’s latest advancements.”

At its core, the show brings together more than 8,000 manufacturing professionals over four days to source the latest advancements in technologies and solutions in the machine tool, tooling and workholding, metal forming and fabricating, advanced manufacturing (including 3D printing/additive manufacturing), automation and robotics, and design engineering. The event also draws a growing national and international audience from major industries including automotive, aerospace, medical and energy, among others.

MANUFACTURE THE FUTURE

CMTS is viewed as a leading-edge event that offers the Canadian manufacturing community the most comprehensive display of cutting-edge technologies and solutions under one roof. Coupled with credible industry resources and timely conference tracks, this year’s tagline “Manufacture the Future” promises Canadian manufacturers the support to grow and evolve their operations.

“We believe that CMTS, with all the leading innovative brands that manufacturers know and trust, is an event that offers unparalleled opportunities to discover the solutions for what tomorrow’s manufacturing possibilities can be,” says Pike.
