For more than 30 years, RAPID + TCT has defined the crucial role of additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing by empowering the establishment of an industry that continues to conceive, test, improve and manufacture new products at a faster, more cost-efficient pace. SME and Rapid News Publications team up to produce the annual RAPID + TCT event. which will take place June 25-27 in Los Angeles, CA.

The International VDI Congress “Dritev” is one of the world’s largest automobile congresses – be part of the community in Baden-Baden! Hundreds experts with an R&D background meet every year to exchange thoughts on current developments in the field of drivetrain and transmission. It’s the ideal place to reach out to long-known fellow experts, find new project partners and pave the way to establish new business ties.

STLE is celebrating 80 years of technical excellence and innovation during the event. The STLE Annual Meeting & Exhibition will feature over 500 technical presentations, a trade show with over 100 exhibitors, a Commercial Marketing Forum, 13 industry-specific education courses, discussion panels on technical and market trends, and more. 

KISSdesign is the new powerful system module to model and analyze entire transmissions. The objective of this training (live stream) is to practice different kinematic concepts and settings on two real application gearboxes. The gearboxes will be set up step by step including load and geometry definitions. The training is meant for design engineers, KISSsoft and KISSsys users who would like to model, analyze and calculate gearboxes using a system tool.

KISSdesign is the new powerful system module to model and analyze entire transmissions. This training is about getting started with KISSdesign. Participants get an overview about the interface and basic functionalities including the explanation of all existing tools and settings for general model build up. The training is meant for design engineers, KISSsoft and KISSsys users who would like to model, analyze and calculate gearboxes using a system tool.

MODEX 2024 offers the latest information on supply chain equipment and technology. The event features more than 150+ free education sessions. Meet more than 900 exhibitors from over 140 countries to discuss how their cost-cutting equipment and technology can futureproof your supply chain. Topics include warehouse equipment, inventory management, material handling, emerging technologies, packaging, sustainability and more. 

Wenzel America and Fox Valley Metrology understand the importance of quality and excellence in the manufacturing industry. In this webinar, attendees will hear from the experts on the following subjects:

Advocacy in your career to promote growth and getting that “seat at the table.

Tips to be productive, quality-focused, and intentional at your job.

Important networking and mentoring suggestions that will enhance your industry relationships.

The webinar will be hosted by Rebecca Brinkley, AGMA.

The International IEEE Aerospace Conference, with AIAA and PHM Society as technical cosponsors, is organized to promote interdisciplinary understanding of aerospace systems, their underlying science and technology, and their applications to government and commercial endeavors. 

This AGMA live online course examines individual failure modes and the failure scenarios that lead to actual system failure, an essential skill to designing gear/bearing systems that will operate properly for their full design life. In this course, AGMA will define and explain the nature of many gear and bearing failures and discuss and describe various actual failure scenarios. In addition, a detailed primer on bearing technology prefaces the failure scenario discussions. Attendees will gain a better understanding of various types of gears and bearings. Learn about the limitation and capabilities of rolling element bearings and the gears that they support.  Grasp an understanding of how to properly apply the best gear-bearing combination to any gearbox from simple to complex.

This live online course will address both geometry and rating of involute splines of various types. The types of spline joints and their applications will be discussed. Spline configuration variations, including half depth, full depth, and special function designs, will be addressed. Both fixed and flexible spline configurations will be examined in terms of usage and design. Lubrication methods, including grease, oil bath, and flowing oil, as well as coatings appropriate for various spline applications, are examined. Shear and compressive stress rating methods are discussed with analyses methodology presented in both equation and graphical methodology via various rating charts.
