From Festival Stage to Watershed Signage: Large-Format Composite Fabrication and the Workforce That Builds It
Vitruvian designs and produces large-format composite components on the Mantis printer, delivering real-world projects including a custom stage for the Forbidden Festival and durable signage for the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. The same equipment and digital workflow power Vitruvian’s USW-endorsed Digital Fabrication pathway, where technicians train on live commercial work as they move from CAD and prototyping to finished, deployed product. This session shows the complete offering: advanced composite manufacturing and the credentialed workforce pipeline that sustains it, with lessons on material performance, throughput, and the economics of distributed composite production.
