RV industry cutting costs and gaining efficiencies with improved design strategies:  Rapid Development, Reduced Cost, and Fit-Confirmation on the first-pass

Hagerman & Company, Inc. is pleased to offer a unique, local, learning opportunity for members of the RV industry.  This event focuses on how 3D Design is gaining major momentum in the RV segment.  Highlights will include keynote speaker, Larry Cochran from Haulmark Industries.

Who should attend?

Executives of RV manufacturers and suppliers who wish to learn more about:

• Component Creation and Testing at a Fraction of the cost of actual part fabrication

• Much faster test-fittings allow for complete system walk-thrus in record time

• Identify design flaws and poor-fits quickly, modify the proto-part, and get instant confirmation of correction

• A “real” part that you can take to the floor and test in mock-ups
  Vendor design lead-time: 4-8 weeks, Print time: 1-3 days*…you do the math (in most cases…at a fraction of the cost, too)
