SUMMARY:The Path Forward: A Proactive Approach To Business Continuity Planning
DESCRIPTION:If the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed one thing to manufacturers\, it’s how unprepared most of us were for such an event. Companies producing everything from PPE and ventilators to anti-bacterial wipes and toilet paper were forced to react with little to no warning. The best lesson we can all take away from this is that\, going forward\, we should all take a much more proactive and strategic approach to running our businesses. \nREGISTER HERE>> \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Food for Thought #7: 3D Printing of Ceramics with Lithoz America
DESCRIPTION:The Manufacturing Incubator at Tech Valley Center of Gravity presents Food for Thought: A Business & Product Development Virtual Luncheon Series. \nCeramic additive manufacturing (3D printing) opens doors to product development and small series manufacturing\, combined with functional complexity that was traditionally cost prohibitive for many applications. This talk will share the current state of the art of ceramic 3D printing and the types of applications where this large family of materials is finding use. \nCeramic materials play key roles in cars\, smartphones\, aircraft\, surgical tools\, dentistry\, and many other products\, but they are lesser known than plastics and metals because they are challenging to produce. Additive manufacturing simplifies ceramic development and production\, by eliminating tooling and machining\, and enabling shapes that were never before possible in these special materials. \nLithoz is the market leader in 3D printers and materials for advanced ceramic\, for use in aerospace\, medical\, dental\, energy\, and industrial applications. Lithoz America\, located in the Rensselaer Tech Park\, is the US branch of Lithoz GmbH from Vienna Austria. Lithoz America performs sales and support of systems\, materials & printing development and demonstration services\, and production of custom materials for printing. \nMr. Shawn Allan is Vice President of Lithoz America LLC\, which was established in 2017 to build and sell AM equipment to produce high-performance ceramic parts that are widely used in the electronics\, aerospace\, and biomedical industries.

SUMMARY:Rensselaer to Host 9th Annual National Manufacturing Day
DESCRIPTION:Virtual event will allow high school students and educators to explore critical role of manufacturing\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how a nimble and innovative manufacturing sector can address some of humanity’s most pressing and emergent needs — from the production of masks and shields to the biomanufacturing of therapeutics. \n\nBeginning on Monday\, November 2\, high school students from across the region will have an opportunity to explore some of the wide-ranging potentials of manufacturing during the 9th Annual National Manufacturing Day celebration at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. \n\nDue to the current pandemic\, students will be transported to the Rensselaer campus and local manufacturing facilities through virtual field trips during a week-long event that ends with a virtual panel discussion Friday\, November 6. \n\n“Each year we look forward to welcoming students to Rensselaer’s beautiful campus and the state-of-the-art facilities\, and sharing with them our passion and expertise in advanced manufacturing\,” said Shekhar Garde\, Dean of the School of Engineering at Rensselaer. “This year is especially important because the global pandemic has underscored the importance of applying science and engineering to everything we do\, including manufacturing solutions from PPEs to therapeutics and vaccines.” \n\nDuring one of the virtual tours\, students and educators will have an opportunity to see the Manufacturing Innovation Learning Lab (MILL) at Rensselaer\, where staff have been manufacturing critical face shields for the protection of frontline health care workers. \n\n“The pandemic has caused us to rethink the way we use and share our resources\,” said Sam Chiappone\, who is leading the face shield manufacturing effort at Rensselaer as the director of the MILL. “This is a great example of how resilient and flexible manufacturing can respond to immediate needs and contribute to the common good.” \n\nParticipants will also have the chance to virtually visit Simmons Machine Tool\, Ross Valve\, Ross Precision Machining\, or Industrial Tool & Die\, where they will get an up-close look at various manufacturing machines and processes\, and learn how these local companies have adapted to meet the needs of modern manufacturing. Students and educators will be provided with questions to reflect upon during each of the two tours. \n\nQuestions that students come up with throughout the virtual experiences can be shared on Friday\, November 6 at 9 or 10:30AM during two live virtual panel discussions with Rensselaer undergraduate and graduate engineering students\, and representatives from the local manufacturing companies they virtually toured. Reporters are also invited to virtually attend either panel discussion. \n\n“While the pandemic poses many challenges\, this virtual National Manufacturing Day event allows us to offer this educational opportunity to an unlimited number of students without\ngeographical constraints\,” said Elizabeth Herkenham\, the education outreach director for the School of Engineering at Rensselaer. \n\nThe Rensselaer National Manufacturing Day celebration is being presented by the MILL\, the Rensselaer School of Engineering Educational Outreach Department\, and Multimedia Services at Rensselaer. \n\nEducators who would like to register for their class to participate can do so before Wednesday\, November 4 by contacting School of Engineering Outreach Department at soeoutreach@rpi.edu. \n  \nLEARN MORE HERE>>

SUMMARY:Manufacturing Reimagined: Supply Chain Part I: New Supplier Validation & Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:As a manufacturer\, when one of your suppliers has an issue getting you components\, it can create problems. When that problem gets compounded by a global pandemic\, the results can be catastrophic.

That’s the state of affairs we’re currently experiencing in this pandemic. \nMore and more companies are looking to add new vendors to their supply chain\, and the question becomes how can you validate suppliers and make sure your final selection will help to mitigate future risk? \nRegister to Attend\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nManufacturing Reimagined is a series of webinars and workshops to help manufacturers manage the challenges created by COVID-19\, emerge from the crisis more resilient and adaptable\, and prepare for future emergencies. \nThese virtual training and educational opportunities include topics such as emergency preparedness\, supply chain utilization during crisis\, cybersecurity and digitization\, equipment strategies for manufacturing resiliency\, and disaster recovery. \n
