"POWDER METALLURGY (P/M) SIMULATION AND DEVELOPMENT" END-OF-PROJECT DEMONSTRATION Contact, Ms. Kathryn Carr, (814) 269-6406 or Ms. Kate Buynack, (814) 269-2566. Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) will host an end-of-project demonstration of Powder Metallurgy (P/M) Simulation and Development on Wednesday, Nov. 5, and Thursday, Nov. 6, 1997, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The demonstration is sponsored by the National Center for Excellence in Metalworking Technology (NCEMT), which is operated by CTC for the U.S. Navy Manufacturing Technology (MANTECH) Program. The demonstration will be held at CTC's Manufacturing Technology Facility in Johnstown, PA. To meet the need for an integrated concurrent engineering methodology for the design and manufacture of P/M components, the NCEMT has developed a computer-based process simulation model for die compaction. This model provides a critical tool for resolving design and manufacturing problems in a cost-effective manner and has already been beta tested by the commercial sector. The end-of-project demonstration will provide information on: Project background, history, and objectives; Material model development; Software features and capabilities; Experimental verification of material models; Hands-on software training. The event will be held in conjunction with the release of and training on the PCS EliteTM powder compaction simulation software. The registration fee of $45.00 includes continental breakfasts, breaks, and session materials on both days, and luncheon on Nov. 5. Registration is open to citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. and Canada only. To receive further information on the end-of-project demonstration or to register, contact Gina Hudak at Concurrent Technologies Corporation, 1450 Scalp Avenue, Johnstown, PA. 15904, or by phone at (814) 269-2870 or e-mail at hudak@ctc.com.
