Composite Materials and Manufacturing DVD This program explains the basics of composite materials and manufacturing by featuring segments on: composite matrix and reinforcement materials, composite manufacturing processes, and composite fabrication and joining methods. The first segment features the primary types of matrix and reinforcement materials, as well as the various forms in which they are available.
Composite Tooling Design DVD Quality tooling is a fundamental requirement for the manufacture of composite parts. This is due to the fact that every step in the composite part manufacturing process must be tightly controlled to ensure superior material properties and predictable performance in the final product.This program explores the composite materials used for tooling and tooling design.
Composites Post Fabrication and Joining DVD Most composite parts and components require some type of post fabrication and or joining for finishing. This program examines the various methods used to cut, saw, rout, and drill composites effectively. The use of adhesives and mechanical fasteners to join separate composite components is also explored in detail.
Cutting Tool Design DVD Cutting tools have many shapes, each of which is described by its angles or geometry. This program, part of the Fundamentals of Tool Design Video Series, explores single-point and multi-point cutting tool geometries as well as the machining variables that affect the cutting tool design.
Lean Automation DVD Lean Automation explores the motivations and practical implementation of automation in manufacturing and how it might be more effective when used with lean principles.
Lean Product Development DVD The Lean Product Development program is an excellent way to get started on your journey to dramatic reductions in time-to-market and greater value-creation for your customers.
Mechanical and Non-Destructive Testing DVD This program explores both mechanical and non-destructive tests used to gage the quality of materials and parts throughout the manufacturing process. Mechanical tests are used to gather specific performance or property values of materials for part design purposes and quality control. Non-destructive tests examine an object or material in a manner that does not impair it's future usefulness.
Mistake Proofing: Achieving Zero Defects DVD As products increase in complexity and processes have to be configured very quickly to hit small windows of opportunity, the implementation of a mistake proofing program, or poka-yoke, becomes a critical part of any manufacturing system. This Mistake Proofing: Achieving Zero Defects program shows how poka-yoke is being implemented and in what direction it is leading manufacturing. See how several leading companies developed systems to answer key questions in the mistake proofing process.
