We’re just about a month away from CastExpo 2025, the premier event for the metalcasting industry. This expo is the perfect opportunity to connect with suppliers, peers, and customers while exploring the latest innovations shaping the global metalcasting supply chain. Here are some event details: ?? April 12-15, 2025 ?? Georgia World Congress Center | Atlanta, GA ?? https://lnkd.in/gFA3ARUT We’ll be at Booth #637, showcasing our?conventional?and 3D printed sand core and mold solutions. See you all in Atlanta!

Brandon Lamoncha, Humtown’s Director of Additive Manufacturing, will be speaking on an Additive Manufacturing panel this Thursday (3/13) at the Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial Tech Conference. From 10:30 – 11:30 AM PT, Brandon and other industry experts will discuss how additive manufacturing is evolving beyond prototyping – scaling to full production and driving innovation in end-use applications. If you're attending, don’t miss this conversation on the future of manufacturing. You can learn more about the event here: https://hubs.ly/Q03bgVDP0. We hope to see you there! #AMIT2025 #CascadiaConnect

Last week, we had the honor of receiving the Huntington Social Impact Award from the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber at the Family-Owned Business Awards. This recognition is especially meaningful because giving back to our community has been at the heart of our company for 66 years. What started with Russell Lamoncha in 1959 has grown into a lasting legacy – one that Mark Lamoncha, Brandon Lamoncha and our entire team try every day to carry forward. Being a family-owned business isn’t just about longevity, it’s about building something that makes a difference – for our?team members, our industry and the communities we serve. A huge thank you to Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber for recognizing the impact of family-owned businesses in our region. We are truly grateful! https://lnkd.in/dewf2fvv

Big news for additive manufacturing – right here in our backyard! Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced the creation of Ohio’s fourth Innovation Hub in Youngstown, OH, further cementing the region’s leadership in advanced manufacturing. Backed by $26M from the Ohio Innovation Hubs Program and $36M in local, federal, and private investment, the Youngstown Innovation Hub for Aerospace and Defense will fuel economic growth, drive innovation, and strengthen national defense supply chains. We’re proud to play a small role in this initiative and are incredibly grateful for the ongoing leadership of America Makes and Youngstown Business Incubator in championing our region and the future of 3D printing.

Want to learn more about the 3D sand printing process? Well don’t just let us tell you, watch as two high school seniors take their peers on a tour of Humtown Additive, breaking down the 3D sand printing process step by step. It’s inspiring to see the next generation not just learning about additive manufacturing, but teaching their peers about it. Stay until the end to hear what the students thought of the whole experience!

A handshake today, a stronger future tomorrow.??????????? Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when great minds come together. Here’s a glimpse of what collaboration looks like – Brandon Lamoncha of Humtown and Dr. Thomas Bettermann from innoMold GmbH, standing side by side with the technology that’s driving change in foundry manufacturing. Onward and upward!

With key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) set to expire, Humtown President & CEO Mark Lamoncha joined industry leaders and key lawmakers at the Ohio Statehouse to push for urgent action on federal tax policy. Alongside National Association of Manufacturers - NAM President & CEO Jay Timmons and The Ohio Manufacturers' Association’ President Ryan Augsburger, Lamoncha highlighted the critical role these tax reforms have played in driving investment, innovation, and growth for manufacturers like Humtown. The TCJA has created an environment that enabled manufacturers to invest in advanced equipment and cutting-edge technology – opportunities that could be at risk if these provisions are not extended. Now is the time to take action and ensure the continued strength of American manufacturing. ?? Photo Credit: David Bohrer / National Association of Manufacturers - NAM

Happy President’s Day! ???? What better way to celebrate than with a 7-foot, 300-pound, larger-than-life bobblehead of President Donald Trump that we 3D sand printed? We teamed up with the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber and Freshmade 3D back in 2016 to create this towering bobblehead. This project was a fun and unique way to showcase the possibilities of 3D sand printing – pushing the boundaries of scale, detail, and creativity!

?? Less than ONE WEEK away!??? The second workshop in the Last Tactical Mile Seminar Series is almost here: ?? February 18, 2025 ?? Vulcan Park & Museum, Birmingham, AL This free, one-day workshop is designed for foundry technical professionals looking to expand their knowledge of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. And while you're there, don't miss Brandon Lamoncha and Dave Rittmeyer's?session titled "Buying vs. Making: All You Need to Know About Printed Mold & Core Production" from 2:30-3:30 PM as well as a panel discussion immediately?following. See you there!

Today is National Inventors’ Day, so we decided to honor one of the most transformational inventions of all time – the airplane! ?? To celebrate, we wanted to show off a few airplanes we 3D sand printed right here in our facility. They may not fly, but what better way to pay tribute? After all, 3D printing wasn’t too bad of an invention either. ?? Here’s to the bold thinkers and trailblazers shaping the future!
