This Composite Materials program features a detailed explanation of the important mechanical properties of thermoset fiber-reinforced composites.
Continuous Improvement-Sustaining the Effort
Extrusion is the deformation of either metal or plastic forced under pressure through a die to create a shape. Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes Video Series, this unique program is an introduction to both plastic extrusion and metal extrusion processes.
This program is part of the Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing package. In Feature Relationships, the ten remaining geometric characteristic symbols and their categories (profile symbols, orientation symbols, location symbols, and runout symbols) are examined in greater detail using demonstrative examples to clarify their use.
This program shows how Subaru used its lean improvement system to achieve breakthrough environmental performance. The lessons learned can help any manufacturing company become a better environmental steward.
Poka-Yoke: Mistake Proofing measures and evaluates the modern and practical methods behind mistake proofing or poka-yoke. You'll visit three companies to see how the use of mistake-proofing techniques and reducing workplace errors can help reduce costs, increase quality, and accelerate customer delivery time.
Powder metallurgy is a metalworking technology used for producing parts from metal powder. Advantages include part design flexibility and the ability to produce net or near-net shaped parts. This Powder Metallurgy program illustrates the metal powder production process, and the part production processes using those powders.
Rapid Tooling Design explores the development and application of various direct and indirect rapid tooling technologies used to create injection molds.
