(AMUG: Milwaukee, WI) -- The Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) has announced its keynote speakers for the 2022 AMUG Conference, which will be held in Chicago April 3–7, 2022. Kevin Czinger, founder, lead inventor, and CEO of Divergent 3D and Czinger Vehicles,; and Ellen Lee, technical leader additive manufacturing research at Ford Motor Co., will take the stage to discuss innovations and change in the automotive sector.

“It will be interesting to hear Kevin’s and Ellen’s ‘similar but different’ perspectives on the present and future of manufacturing in the automotive industry,” says Jordan Weston, AMUG director. “On one hand, we will have the perspective of a young company seeking to disrupt. On the other hand, we will hear from a large, established company seeking to adapt and lead.”

“Ellen represents a 118-year-old company that changed the game over a century ago yet continues to innovate in response to shifting demands,” Jordan continues. “Kevin represents a company that will make its mark by changing the process, altering vehicle architectures, and localizing adaptive, sustainable manufacturing.”
