More dates for RPD seminars
The "3 steps to successful rapid product development" seminars at 3T's site in Newbury continue to prove popular.
Prototypes take on permanent surface colouring
3T RPD can now supply SLS prototypes with a permanent surface colouring in a range of colours including black, grey, red, green, blue and yellow.
Laser sintering machine speeds prototyping
3T RPD has acquired the world's largest laser sintering machine, the P700 from EOS.
Based at the Business Development Centre on Stafford Park in Telford, Shropshire, the offices are just half a mile from the town centre, within walking distance of Telford Central Railway Station, and just minutes from the M54 Junctions 4 and 5.
Numerous companies have benefited from 3T's unbiased, informative approach to these events, which promote the technology, not the company, and contain just the right amount of information on each subject and process to stimulate endless ideas and questions.
The three steps are concept modelling, rapid prototyping and rapid tooling.
And although it is generally accepted that a reduction in product development lead times can equate to a significant financial return, what many are asking is how.
What if marketing need a model tonight, engineering need to test a component at over 100C this week or production need to trial an assembly line this month? Is it possible? The seminars aim to increase awareness of the techniques available and demonstrate their applicability to industry.
Relaxed and informal, they are free of charge and include a buffet lunch.
Current confirmed dates are: in Newbury on Thursday 10th April 2003 and Wednesday 18th June 2003; and in Telford on Wednesday 9th July 2003.
Geoff Kerr, a Senior Design Engineer at Delphi Delco Electronics attended a recent seminar and commented: "The presentation material was very informative, educational and enjoyably unbiased in its content.
For design engineers who have to maintain an awareness of all trends within all disciplines of the product development, this type of seminar covering the leading edge technological advancements in rapid prototyping is invaluable".
Another delegate, John Maynard, a Chief Mechanical Engineer at Thales Defence said: "I was very impressed by the relevance and breadth of the content.
3T have now repeated the seminar at our site in Crawley, helping to raise the awareness of over 50 of our employees".
