In many of my discussions, people have asked about others that are using digital manufacturing tools and how they might exchange information and learn about their experiences. There is a great symposium coming up during September this year, which will help those interested in digital manufacturing to exchange experiences and network with others that have similar interests \u2013 it\u2019s the <A href=\"http:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/en_us\/campaigns\/dmsymposium\/?stc=usiia420443\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Digital Manufacturing Symposium<\/A>.
