SUMMARY:Revolutionize Your CNC Programming
DESCRIPTION:Join us at our Advanced Technology Center for an in-person exclusive demonstration event designed to showcase the transformative power of Model-Based Definition (MBD) in CNC programming. Discover how MBD can significantly reduce the time and effort required to produce high-quality CNC programs. \nDetails\nPrincipal Engineer Nasir Mannan and our technical team will demonstrate advanced strategies in Siemens NX CAM for generating CNC programs tailored to specific feature tolerances. You’ll learn how to post these programs for a Sinumerik control and utilize tools like the ThirdWave Production Module to reduce cutting force spikes and optimize cycle times. \nWe’ll introduce Distortio\, a tool for minimizing vibration and chatter during CNC machining\, and showcase a comparative analysis of dimensional inspection results between a conventionally programmed and machined airfoil versus one produced through a model-based workflow. This will highlight differences in programming time and part quality\, culminating in a live demonstration on the TRAK VMC10si 4-axis CNC machine. \nThe session will also explore the value of the digital twin\, demonstrating how real-time data collected via an edge device during the manufacturing process can be used for corrective action control\, reducing production variability in real time. \nThis event provides a comprehensive overview of advanced CNC machining strategies\, cutting-edge tools\, and technologies to enhance manufacturing efficiency and product quality. Attendees will experience live demonstrations and practical insights into optimizing their processes. \nThere will be a break for complimentary lunch and networking. \nREGISTER ONLINE

SUMMARY:Advocacy 101 Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join manufacturing leaders across the state for a special event as we discuss the many opportunities to impact policy during the coming legislative session. \nThe virtual event will be held on Monday\, January 13 from 3:00-4:30 pm. \nHear from Connecticut’s Chief Manufacturing Officer\, Paul Lavoie\, who is our advocate within the state government. Paul will update us on the many programs his office is working on to benefit and grow our state’s manufacturing industry. \nEver feel like you are powerless to impact the laws passed in Hartford and that your voice doesn’t matter? Eric Gjede and Andy Markowski\, from Statehouse Partners\, LLC will unravel these and other myths with an Advocacy 101 presentation. Eric and Andy have nearly 40 years combined experience as lobbyists and advocates at Connecticut’s capitol. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the state’s legislative process\, effective versus ineffective lawmaker communication techniques\, and how it only takes a few voices to have a major impact on legislation – BEFORE it passes!

SUMMARY:Springy and Stretchy – New materials for the next generation of springs and stampings
DESCRIPTION:Space tourism\, green energy\, electric cars\, robotic surgery are all in their infancy\, one can only imagine the spring materials of tomorrow may not be what we know today.\nPlease join NESMA for a special evening on May 24th with UConn Materials Scientist Dr. Rainer Hebert at Shuttle Meadow Country Club. Rainer will highlight new materials for spring and stamping applications. These materials range from new\, yet mainly traditionally developed aluminum alloys to high-entropy and glassy alloys. These latter material classes gradually transition from the laboratory to “real-world” applications. Unusual atomic arrangements are responsible for some of the novel characteristics of some of these materials such as increase in elasticity with temperature\, ultra-high superplasticity\, and an ability to mold metals like plastic materials. The talk will include manufacturing aspects and the almost inevitable opportunities additive manufacturing promises. \nMore about Dr. Rainer Hebert\nDr. Hebert attended the University of Saarbrücken\, Germany\, and graduated in 1997 with a Diplom in physics. He then switched fields and graduated with a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2003. Following stints as a post-doc at the Institute of Nanotechnology\, Karlsruhe Research Center\, Germany\, and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, he joined the University of Connecticut in 2006. \nDr. Hebert’s research interest focuses on rapid solidification of metallic materials. Aside from a long-standing interest in metallic glasses\, Dr. Hebert has more recently turned his attention to additive manufacturing of metallic materials. He spent a year on sabbatical in the additive manufacturing group at Pratt & Whitney and upon returning to UConn assumed the role of director of UConn’s Additive Manufacturing Center. In this position he oversees research and development projects with industry sponsors and expands the Center’s capabilities for additive manufacturing materials research. \nFor more info contact Cathy Savino: call 860-314-2101 or email c.savino@nesma-usa.com\n
