SUMMARY:Did you know these tax incentive options existed for Manufacturers looking to grow?
DESCRIPTION:Tax Incentives for Real Estate Expansion Projects  \nManufacturing companies that have expansion plans may benefit from a variety of state and local tax incentives. Whether a company plans to renovate an existing facility\, relocate\, construct a new facility\, create or retain jobs\, there are available resources that can help to reduce the cost associated with a real estate investment.  With the surge of increased construction and labor costs\, rising gas prices and interest rates\, these tax incentives more than ever for businesses. \nBy leveraging tax incentives\, companies can save thousands – or even millions – of dollars. However\, timing is essential.  Otherwise\, companies could leave substantial cash on the table. \nIn this webinar\, Lynn Tokarczyk\, government tax incentives consultant and president of Business Development Strategies\, Inc.\, will discuss how to identify\, negotiate\, and secure valuable government tax incentives\, including: \n\nState Tax Credits\nState Abandoned Building Tax Deductions\nMunicipal Tax Increment Financing (TIF)\nMunicipal Personal Property Tax Relief\nMunicipal Special Tax Assessment (STA)\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Is There Really A Correlation Between Industry 4.0 & Cybersecurity?
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn more about why cybersecurity is foundation to Industry 4.0. A brief introduction to i4.0 will be provided. Our panel will discuss possible cybersecurity risks created when deploying IIoT (Industry Internet of Things) and other ICS (Industrial Control System) devices in industrial network environments. The adoption of i4.0 technologies may require the implementation of more sophisticated network architecture and design. That flat network topology of the past may no longer provide adequate protection of your IP (intellectual property) and sensitive information. It may be time to secure and segment your IT business technology from OT (Operational Technology) / ICS (Industrial Control Systems). Or\, you might consider implementing a zero trust security model similar to the one embraced by the DoD earlier this year. \nRegister now to learn more about these and many other cyber hygiene best practices. Please bring your questions to this webinar as time will set aside for a Q&A session as well. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Scan To Reverse Engineer with Functional 3D
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhen a part goes out of production or drawings need updating\, 3D scanning can help you speed up your design workflow and meet customer obligations. \nIt’s a challenge that becomes more common by the day: A smaller manufacturer can no longer get critical parts from their supplier\, but drawings don’t exist. How will they continue to meet customer contracts? OR\, drawings have changed over the decades but weren’t documented along the way. How long would it take to reverse engineer that key part and get work flowing again? \n3D scanning technology offers very real benefits to small and medium-sized manufacturers in a variety of areas\, including reverse engineering to solve supply chain challenges or to embrace additive manufacturing. Polaris MEP has teamed up with 3D scanning specialist Christopher Wilczewski for a series of fast-paced webinars about the applications of 3D scanning in manufacturing. \nThis third and final “episode” in our Spring 2022 series focuses on the potential benefits of 3D scanning for reverse engineering/CAD. \nWHAT TO EXPECT\n1)         Overview of the role 3D scans play in the “new” reverse engineering\n2)         Understand how you can create Surface CAD bodies to be used in traditional CAD applications – even with organically shaped or hand made objects\n3)         Hear how 3D scans can allow for modern manufacturing such as Additive / 3D printing or forging\n4)         Manufacturer Mini-Success Story \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\nOwners\, Founders\, senior executives of RI manufacturing companies\nEngineering\, Maintenance\, Procurement leads\nOperations\, Production leads\n\nABOUT THE TRAINER\n \nChristopher Wilczewski is the Founder and CEO of Functional 3D\, a 3D scanning service and consulting company based in Providence\, RI.   The focus of Functional 3D is to bring the value of 3D capture technology without the large upfront costs and time associated with integrating this kind of technology.  Industries supported include commercial construction\, manufacturing\, design and historical preservation with projects as small as a Revolutionary War era flint to as large as a 17-story building in New York City. \nPrior to starting his own firm\, Christopher was an engineer and account manager at FARO Technologies\, one of the leading manufacturers of 3D capture technologies.  There he had the opportunity to learn and develop workflows in various fields and organizations across the US igniting his passion for the technology. \nChristopher is a member of DesignXRI and the Rhode Island Manufacturing Association. \n  \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Scan To Quality Reporting with Functional 3D
DESCRIPTION:  \nMeasurement is the first step in quality control\, the foundation of improvement and critical to Customer satisfaction. How can 3D scanning technology improve your quality reporting? \n3D offers very real benefits to small and medium-sized manufacturers in a variety of areas. Polaris MEP has teamed up with 3D scanning specialist Christopher Wilczewski for a series of fast-paced webinars about the applications of 3D scanning in manufacturing. \nThis second “episode” in our Spring 2022 series focuses on the potential benefits of 3D scanning as it relates to quality. Attendees will learn how 3D scans could improve the quality reports provided to customers\, increasing satisfaction. \nThe technology also can be used to confirm that the parts you receive from your suppliers meet your expectations – or even modify them to fit your needs. For example\, are you struggling with a plastic part and can’t figure out why? A 3D scan could help you spot deformations AND the data can be used to modify molds to produce the correct shape. \nWHAT TO EXPECT\n1)         Overview of the advantages of 3D scanning for measurement vs. manual quality \n2)         Best practices / lessons learned for leveraging 3D scans to improve quality reporting and/or automating GD&T reports \n3)         Insights on how the technology can be used to improve quality of parts received from suppliers \n4)         Manufacturer Mini-Success Story \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\nOwners\, Founders\, senior executives of RI manufacturing companies\nEngineering\, Quality leads\n\nABOUT THE TRAINER\n \nChristopher Wilczewski is the Founder and CEO of Functional 3D\, a 3D scanning service and consulting company based in Providence\, RI.
