enews

BOSTONCharles R. McClinton, technology manager for the Hyper-X Program at NASA's Langley Research Center (Hampton, VA), will present the keynote address, "Breaking the Hypersonic Barrier," at the Assembly East, NEPCON East and Electro manufacturing exhibitions.

The co-located events are taking place May 4-5 at the new Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Last November, NASA's X-43 research vehicle made aviation history with the second successful flight of a supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) at nearly 10 times the speed of sound. Scramjet-powered aircraft are being developed with an eye toward ultra high-speed commercial flights within the atmosphere and in Earth orbit.

In addition to McClinton's presentation, the co-located events will feature hundreds of exhibitors displaying the latest in assembly products and technologies, and a number of free educational sessions. Last year's event was attended by 4,013 industry professionals.

The ASSEMBLY Show South

ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.

In this session, manufacturers will learn how Quality function deployment (QFD) can transform consumers’ qualitative demands into quantitative parameters that will shape the design of their product and, ultimately, their manufacturing process.
