Adaptable to the needs, it can be equipped with a functional painting chamber or a room of sandblasting. Customers and students can be introduced to and tested, depending on the circumstances, adhesive applicators, tools and products for surface preparation, painting, and varnish application.

Inside, a multipurpose room can be used and transformed for training, including I-CAR courses.

Mobile app

3M also showcased a new mobile app that provides technical information and specifications on all of its products.

Also on display, was the new 3M mobile sand blasting unit developed in conjunction with Festool. Launched earlier this year, this mobile unit has already proved popular in high volume collision shops. Festool tools and dust extractors were also complemented by cabinets and displays that contained virtually every type of abrasive and finishing product needed.
