The manufacturing sector is moving to a digital environment. The days of getting a drawing from your customer, recreating the drawings to be accepted into your system and dealing with change orders and version control will soon be over. Model Based Design is gaining momentum and Connecticut is on the forefront of this technology. We are looking to engage with manufacturing companies that are interested in learning more about the digital transformation in the defense sector. CONNSTEP, Inc., in conjunction with Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) and Central Connecticut State University are holding informational sessions across the state to engage with our manufacturing companies about the future of manufacturing. Office of Manufacturing - State of Connecticut is leading a federal grant from the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation to drive the digital transformation in the defense sector. Find an event near you and make it a priority to attend. The first step is understanding about #MBD and the impact on your business. #makeithere #ctleads #manufacturing

Thank you Paul S. Lavoie and Lakisha M Pryor for providing our members with an update on the State's Digital Manufacturing initiatives and to Melanie Hoben, M.S. and Goodwin University for hosting us once again!
