Data retrieval from the Global Powder Metallurgy Property Database (GPMD) is faster than ever, thanks to a move to a cloud-based platform.  Data for hundreds of PM material grades, from thousands of tests collected from a wide range of sources, is available from this open-access database.   The database is fully searchable, and outputs can be exported to several recognized FEA software packages. The data is displayed in a user-friendly format viewable in both tabular and graphic formats.  The data will be of particular interest to design engineers in a range of industries.

 The program for the virtual MIM2021: International Conference on Injection Molding of Metals, Ceramics and Carbides, the only international powder and metal injection molding conference of the year, will feature two keynote presentations. MIM2021 will attract a global audience, showcasing the latest advances in this dynamic technology. The virtual conference will take place February 22-25, 2021, and presentations will be available on demand through March 5. For registration and additional details, please visit MIM2021.org.  

Keynote Presentations Include:
•    Design for Manufacturability - Quality, Innovation and Value, Metal Working for Surgical Instruments by Steve Santoro, Executive Vice President, MICRO, a contract manufacturing organization servicing the medical device industry.
•    Cobra Golf Applications for MIM and Metal Additive Manufactured Components by Bryce Hobbs, Mike McDonnell, and Ryan Roach,  Cobra Golf, a sports equipment manufacturing company focused on golf equipment, producing a wide range of golf clubs.
 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has prepared guidance for employers and workers to help identify risks of being exposed to and of contracting COVID-19 in workplace settings and to determine any appropriate control measures to implement.

This guidance is not a standard or regulation, and it creates no new legal obligations.
