The Journey of Additive Manufacturing at AGCO

Betsy Bonnema

DI Labs hosted a workshop at our facility and was honored to have Ben Thul, AGCO Manufacturing Engineer, as a guest speaker. Ben has been working in the Jackson, MN, AGCO facility for five years. Since 2021, he’s been focused on successfully adopting additive manufacturing and leading AGCO’s investment in HP’s MJF technology, which they deployed in March of 2023.

Ben is now responsible for helping to implement end-use parts and supporting the development of 3D-printed manufacturing tools. He does this for AGCO’s Jackson facility, but for the North American region, as well. Ben’s work in Jackson is setting an example for other AGCO facilities around the world to further deploy additive manufacturing technologies in the future.
