While Robo-Met's material testing technology has already proven invaluable to materials research and development, the Robo-Met team is working to understand how it could bring value to the manufacturing world. This focus group took a great step in that direction by providing valuable input from people working in that industry, and the Robo-Met team is grateful the attendees took a genuine interest in the event and actively participated in these sessions.
