Canadian Metalworking

Topic: State of Metalworking Industry

Presenter: Jim Anderton, Editor

Description: Meet Canadian Metalworking Editor Jim Anderton and discuss current industry issues, such as technology, regulation, offshoring, skilled labour and the industry outlook for 2012

Linde Canada

12pm

Topic: Shielding gases - Key to a productive welding process Presenter: Todd Israel Welding Specialist - Linde Canada Limited Description: Welding is a complex manufacturing technology, which often requires a holistic approach in order to realize significant savings in production time and cost. Unfortunately, for shielding gas, it is often seen as an inevitable necessity for the gas shielded welding processes and a simple commodity, This event will discuss that the shielding gas in fact has a direct influence on the welding process, and that its accurate selection always has a major impact on the quality and productivity; consequently turning the shielding gas into a process gas, and a necessary evil into a valuable tool.

Autodesk

Topic: Simulation in today’s product development process

Topic: Mobile and Cloud Computing within Manufacturing

Topic: Simulation in today’s product development process

Presenter: Daryl Corelli, Autodesk Manufacturing Technical Specialist

Description: Model-based simulations aren’t just for analysts anymore. More and more companies are demanding that design validation become a part of every product development process. As the technology gets faster, more flexible, and less expensive, it’s never been easier to ask the right questions about your products performance. How fast is too fast? What happens if I use a different material or size? Use this discussion to learn about how simulation and analysis can help everyone

Description: Massive growth in mobile access and cloud computing is changing the way businesses communicate. Whether it’s internal communication between engineers, designers, and sales teams, or external communication between you and your customer, mobile and cloud competing is poised to make your information available to more teams, more quickly, and more easily. Are you ready to take advantage of these next generation communication tools? Do you know what opportunities are available for you today?

Topic: Simulation of Bulk Sheet Metal Forming

Presenter: Arjaan Buijk

Managing Director, Simufact-Americas

Description: The unique characteristics of bulk sheet metal forming will be explained, and it will be discussed how these processes can be simulated on the computer with Simufact.forming, using a continuum approach. Practical examples will be given, like the one shown below, and the benefits of simulation to your organization will be highlighted:
