Inspecting Gears with Industrial X-ray CT
Industrial X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is the gold standard for quality assurance in manufacturing. Unfortunately, the complexity and cost of legacy systems have kept this vital inspection tool out of reach for most companies. Easy to use and an order of magnitude less expensive than competitors, the Lumafield Neptune industrial CT scanner and Voyager analysis software make it possible to not only add CT to your frontline toolkit for the first time but also generate and share data with unprecedented ease.

Managing Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Compliance and Supply Chain Risks
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continues to aggressively enforce the ban on imports that contain forced labor inputs. Increasingly, this is impacting supply chains in the transportation and equipment sectors, as CBP and some congressional stakeholders seek to hold automakers and manufacturers accountable for careful vetting of their supply chains. In this webinar, we will discuss the latest compliance requirements, enforcement cases, and steps that bearing and gear companies can take to ensure that their operations are not adversely impacted.

Maximizing Manufacturing Efficiency: Using Additive Manufacturing to Consolidate Parts and Enhance Functionality
In this webinar, we will explore how 3D printing can help manufacturers achieve greater efficiency and improved component functionality. Specifically, we will focus on how additive manufacturing (AM) can be used to consolidate multiple parts into a single component, reducing assembly time and costs while still allowing for complex geometries. We will also discuss how AM techniques can enhance component functionality by incorporating features such as internal channels or lattice structures that are not possible with traditional manufacturing methods; or multiple design features that would traditionally be combined through a variety of methods.

Plastic Gears Reinvented: 3D Printed Molds for Rapid Product Development
Modern advances in thermoplastics have positioned materials including acetal and nylon as prime candidates to produce gears. While these materials have many benefits over traditional metal gears, the associated manufacturing process of injection molding can be prohibitively slow, especially during the development of new gears. Leveraging the speed of 3D printing, Fortify is reinventing injection molding with quick turn mold tooling. This presentation will take a deep dive into how Fortify is able to rapidly produce molded gears in advanced thermoplastics. Through the lens of real world examples, attendees can expect to learn how and when to implement quick turn molds to speed up development cycles along with what makes Fortify’s printer technology so unique.

U.S. Defense Policy Update
The annual debate surrounding our nation’s defense budget is kicking into high-gear in Washington as Congress looks to pass the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024. In this program, we’ll examine the programs likely to be funded, those on the chopping block, and what bearing and gear companies can expect for market opportunities in the aerospace and defense sectors in the year ahead.
