Elevate your manufacturing operations with April’s Manufacturing Lunch + Learn

Register now for April’s Manufacturing Lunch + Learn, taking place April 17, 2025 at 12PM ET and join us for two 30-minute sessions during your lunch hour. This month's edition is all about materials. First you'll hear from metalworking tool supplier ISCAR on the cutting tool applications of polycrystalline diamond (PCD), cubic boron nitride (CBN), and ceramics. The precision, durability, and efficiency these advanced materials offer are revolutionizing machining processes across industries, especially in demanding environments.

In the second half hour, precision machining and polishing fabricator INSACO will discuss the possibilities offered by hard materials and internal threading in joining applications, particularly in high temperatures, vacuums, and medical manufacturing.
