Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero recently visited the U.S. Department of Energy’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Rogero had been invited to participate as a “Maker Mayor” at the June 18 White House Maker Faire. Oak Ridge Mayor Tom Beehan also attended.
When Roger returned, she asked ORNL for more information on additive manufacturing, the lab said.
The tour of the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility gave Rogero an overview of the facility and the research underway there.
