Explore Industrial 3D Printing with R&D Technologies at Manufacturing Day 2026
R&D Technologies will join Polaris MEP’s fifth annual Manufacturing Day (MFGDay) Career Exploration Experience on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at Farm Fresh Rhode Island in Providence.
Themed “RI’s Future In The Making,” the event gives 10th–12th grade students a hands-on “taste test” of modern manufacturing careers. Interactive stations throughout the venue let students code a cobot, try 3D scanning, solve puzzles with Lean thinking, “paint” metal with VR goggles, and more. Last year’s program introduced more than 400 students to the industry.
At the R&D Technologies booth, visitors can explore industrial 3D printing technology and discover the wide range of possibilities it opens up, from prototyping and product development to production parts. It’s a chance to see how additive manufacturing solutions are shaping the way things are designed and made today.
As a Stratasys reseller serving New England, R&D Technologies is excited to be part of an event that connects the next generation with the technologies driving manufacturing forward.
