Youngstown Business Incubator hosts its first Advanced Manufacturing User Expo
NILES, Ohio (WKBN) — A local organization is focusing on the future of technological advancements in manufacturing. Advanced manufacturing is on full display at the Youngstown Business Incubator's first Advanced Manufacturing User Expo, bringing leaders, innovators and technology experts together for a day of networking and more at the Eastwood Event Centre. 'We're competing against China and if we can bind together and come together to create stronger better, more durable more advanced technologies, we can absolutely win on that stage,' said Barb Ewing, YBI CEO. Athens, Ohio-based Vitruvian was one company taking part in the inaugural event, bringing along its modified spider crane called The Scorpion. 'Understanding the level of advanced manufacturing technologies that are in this area and be able to be part of this, not only YBI, but America Makes and this ecosystem — it really does something for not only Vitruvian but the area,' said Stefano Alva, Vitruvian Technologies Director of Operations. Vitruvian has a 3D printer on the head of its crane, which is used to lay concrete. 'We believe with technologies like this we can bring a new generation of construction workers, people that are technically savvy, intellectually curious, that want to work with new technologies and redefine the way we do construction,' Alva said. 'Technology is changing the world. It's changing how we make things and our companies stand a chance of being at the leading edge of that rather than on the bleeding edge,' Ewing said.
