WOOD DALE, IL - You are invited to a free Thomson webinar - Designing Cost out of Machines with Mechanical Components. If you are interested in gaining a new perspective on engineering as well as gaining valuable insights into how to optimize your design process this webinar is for you. In this webinar you will learn how to:

• Reduce design time
• Reduce implementation/assembly time
• Reduce material costs
• Optimize your design for maximum value

More is being asked of engineers with less resources than ever before. With the many options available for machine designers to choose from, does mechanical component choice really matter?

Yes! Each component in a design expands or limits future directions that design can go. What can an engineer do to make sure that the final choices are the best to achieve the desired objective? What resources exist to get that information quickly and accurately?

In 1 hour you will learn:

• Rethinking Engineering - A New Outlook
  • 360°Degree Engineering?
• Reducing Design Time
  • Leveraging Design Resources
• Reducing Implementation/Assembly Time
  • Modularizing and Standardizing
• Reducing Material Cost
  • Quality -- Do it Right, Do it Once
• Value Optimization
  • Quantify your choices

This live online seminar is an event for mechanical motion design engineers at all experience levels. The seminar has been designed to give solid, practical information - not a sales pitch.
