Open to all MACE users, please join us at the MACE Users Group (MUG) meeting where we will be demonstrating and training the latest capabilities of MACE, showcasing our 3D visualization in ARMOR, along with several commercial image generators, and discussing the MACE/ARMOR road map for 2025 and beyond. This is a great training opportunity to learn how best MACE and ARMOR can work in your environment, all while meeting and working with the team behind the development of these products. What’s more, this event is free to all attendees with no landing fee.
