It is with great pleasure that the organizers of MM Live USA, Rapid News Communications, announce that visitor registration for the 2010 event is officially open. Situated at the Duke Energy Convention Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, from 11th –13th May 2010, entrance to MM Live is completely free of charge. Registration can be completed quickly and easily at www.mmliveusa.com.

MM Live USA has been launched due to demand from micro and precision equipment and service suppliers for an event dedicated to the North American market. It will deliver a forum geared towards generating business for this exciting and evolving sector and helping OEMs capitalise on these emerging technologies.

Exhibitors at MM Live USA will provide a global showcase for all aspects of the mass manufacture of small to micro precision parts, whether a company can make them to order or supply the machinery to mill, cut or mould. Exhibits cover the full spectrum of micro manufacturing techniques from laser cutting, welding, and micro machining to injection moulding, inspection & measurement, photo etching, handling and assembly. The desire to shrink component size, save weight and make pocket-sized devices with incredible functionality is an important objective in almost every industry sector from medical, aerospace and automotive to electronics, dental and telecoms.

Companies who have already confirmed their presence include: Microfabrica Inc., Accumold, American Swiss Products Co Inc., Union Tool, Oxford Lasers, Desmatec, Mecanor, Alicona Corporation, Makuta Technics Inc., Kern Precision Inc., Kyocera Advanced Ceramics, MicroPEP, Diebold Goldring Tooling and Micro Waterjet LLC.

Alongside the main exhibition is the MM Live Tech Briefing Conference — a series of free presentations covering all of the key technologies employed in making and verifying precision micro-components. Over three days, some of the leading worldwide experts in the Micro Manufacturing community will come together to share their knowledge and experience in this growing sector. The program has been specially designed to address the key issues of micro and precision manufacturing including a state of the industry overview to in-depth discussions on micro molding, micro machining, micro EDM, electrochemical machinery, metrology and assembly.

MM Live USA is co-located with PDx/amerimold, which incorporates the established MoldMaking Expo and the Time-Compression Expo.
