Join CCAT and RAM Engineering Solutions, LLC. for a deeper dive into the specifics of how to setup Model Based Definition (MBD) for your organization. With some preparation, MBD can be a few clicks of the mouse. For simple models, nothing more may be necessary. For complex models with unique situations, proper set-up may capture most of the work with only minor adjustments required. Learning Objectives: • Paradigm shift of ‘defined’ / ‘fully-defined’ - too much, not enough, just right…

This introductory workshop is part of the NERDIC Industry 4.0 Readiness Ecosystem program for the New England defense supply chain. For more information, please visit ccat.us/NERDIC. Valued at a $7.3-billion worldwide market value in 2017, additive manufacturing (AM) is disrupting multiple markets by enabling engineers to rapidly manufacture parts having substantial geometric freedom. Unfortunately, this geometric freedom is often realized with materials having insufficient properties (e.g., stiffness, strength, melting temperature) for production requirements. Addressing this problem, the rapidly-growing additive manufacturing…
