Massachusetts Manufacturers At Your Request – Agile and DFM: Module 2

<img class="wp-image-25022 aligncenter" src="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DFM-FINAL-1024x1024.png" alt="" width="540" height="540" /> <a href="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DFMWorkshops-2.pdf">DFMWorkshops (2)</a> The past two years have taught us the endurance and tenacity of Manufacturing in MA. As part of that, the top two subjects Massachusetts manufacturers are looking for more insight with hands on training are, Agile & DFM. MassMEP offers a two part module workshop designed for the Massachusetts Manufacturing Industry. <strong>Module two of the series:</strong> Design for Manufacturability, DFM, the benefits of different manufacturing processes and the effect of cost based on the manufacturing process and tooling consideration. The Value Engineering Methodology evaluates the different manufacturing processes, tooling consideration and labor content to establish overall cost to decide on the most economical overall price. <em><strong>Please note this is One Module that is a two-day training module for each topic. That being written, this workshop requires both days in both modules are to be completed for the full training package. As an attendee you will need to schedule time to attend the training over the four day, eight-hour training time. Example: I will be in training for Agile, May 19th & 26th and in training for DFM, June 9th & 16th.</strong></em> Please note that it is strongly recommended that you participate in both of these modules to receive the full package of the training.

Tool Training: Laser Cutter

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-21801" src="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_161819249_161371377410_1_original-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="150" /> Laser cutters are used to produce precise cuts and engravings with several materials based on 2D vector and raster images. The machines are commonly used for anything from industrial manufacturing to small and intricate art projects. This class will teach how to operate Technocopia’s Full Spectrum laser cutter safely and effectively. Students will learn the process of creating and preparing a simple design in Inkscape, opening it in Retina Engrave, and then operating the laser to produce the cut. We will also learn how to calibrate the auto focus sensor, and discuss what types of materials are appropriate to use with the machine. The software used is Inkscape (<a href="https://inkscape.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://inkscape.org</a>) it's free to download and has many online references. <strong>This tool is available for family use! Any youth between the ages of 12-17 may take this class with a participating adult. </strong>For our student registration form and for class policies, please visit: <a href="https://technocopia.org/tool-training" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://technocopia.org/tool-training</a> PLEASE NOTE: Registration via Eventbrite is preferred to ensure a seat in the class, however, if you wish to pay by cash or check, please notify us immediately at <a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">[email protected]</a>.
