The technology at the show is considerably different than I'm used to. I grew up in Gary, an area dominated by the heavy steel industry. Except for what you may find in the small machine shops in the area that support the mills, there just isn't a lot of cnc manufacturing up here. (At least not to me anyway.)
I thought the show was put on well and offered a lot to see. I met a guy last night that works in one of the trades setting up shows in McCormick Place. He said the plastics show that comes there is pretty impressive too.
I have to admit, there was one thing that kinda put a grin on my face though. There were a lot of machines set up and running in that place, but they were all so tiny. I'm used to machines that, when I'm standing on one end and my partner is standing on the other end of the same machine, we have to use radios to comunicate. Of course, I guess when you're working on the front of one of these machines and have to walk around to the back side to do something, it's not a 25 minute walk to go back around to the front to get what you forgot to take with you!
The show was good though.
