Do any of the following statements sound a little too familiar?
- Additive manufacturing is disconnected from materials engineering
- Materials engineering isn’t routinely practiced
- Your additive manufacturing process relies on old design and simulation processes and tools
- New materials are key to your innovation focus, but your PLM tools and processes don’t support their definition
- Your current PLM solution doesn’t support the need to engineer new materials
Many would argue that we are in the Information Age, which has brought us the tools, techniques, and processes in PLM that support the way we define, design, engineer, produce, and support vehicles. Over the years, engineers have learned how to encode mathematics and physics in analytical programs that can accurately predict how things will work in the real world. Materials handbooks summarize this information, so that engineers and designers can pick materials with a high degree of confidence, and design components using them that will function as predicted. Using materials like plastics, ceramics, and composites in new applications and compositions required the development of new methods, analytics, testing, and other skills to ensure that these materials function as required. This webinar will introduce participants to how materials engineering affects PLM and its use within automotive and other similar industries.
