SOUTHWEST Exhibitor: Boca Bearing Company, headquartered in Boynton Beach, FL, is one of the most trusted names for ceramic bearing and lubrication technology. The reduction of rolling resistance and energy conservation has been the company's hallmark since 1987. Boca Bearings was started by our founder, Allen, who started selling bearings to kids looking to get a competitive edge in Radio Control racing by replacing the stock bushings with bearings. Over the years, those same kids who loved tearing things apart and putting them back together grew up and started working in industry, and they brought Boca Bearings with them. Today, Boca Bearings is the industry leader in Ceramic Bearings. The Boca Bearing Company stocks a full range of ceramic balls, ceramic hybrid bearings, and full ceramic bearings. We have over 8000 different bearings and well over 10 million bearings in stock. Boca Bearing Company offers the most extensive stock of replacement bearings for all industrial, medical, and specialty applications. Boca Bearings has consistently led the industry in bringing advanced ceramic technologies to market.

SOUTHWEST Session: Transitioning from prototyping to serial production is the defining challenge in additive manufacturing today. This presentation by Farsoon Technologies Americas will demonstrate a clear pathway to achieving high-volume, cost-effective manufacturing using truly open and integrated 3D printing solutions. We will explore real-world success stories across key industries, including the production of civil aerospace components, high-performance shoe molds, Intricate 3C products, electronic motorcycle parts, athletic and sporting goods, and medical implants. These case studies will reveal how our open-system approach provides the flexibility and material choice necessary for serial production. The session will then delve into the specific technology innovations that make this possible. We will showcase how Beam Shaping optimizes material and processing capabilities, while the Support Reduction System (SRS) slashes post-processing time and material waste. Attendees will learn how fine laser spot printing achieves ultra-fine 0.05mm details for intricate parts, and how large-layer thickness printing drastically improves efficiency for less critical dimensions. We will also highlight specialized solutions like Auto-Grafting Technology for superior mold production. Join us to discover how the latest advancements 3D printing technology are delivering great ROI by reducing total manufacturing costs and unlocking the full potential of volume AM production.
SOUTHWEST Session: The call to bring manufacturing back to U.S. soil has never been louder—but the question remains: Can our manufacturing sector meet the moment? This presentation dives into the reality behind the reshoring movement and explores the technological readiness of U.S. manufacturers to produce more efficiently, competitively, and sustainably. We’ll unpack where the gaps lie in digital adoption, automation, smart factory infrastructure, and skilled labor—and where forward-thinking manufacturers are already making big moves.
