A Focus on Manufacturing
Light Weighting :
A strategy to reduce raw material used
to minimize costs and increase the bottom line
Dana Parrish – Tri Mech Solutions
Reducing your costs and increasing your bottom line? – do not miss this presentation !
In our current business climate, getting to market first with your product is only one challenge. However, being first is not enough today; manufacturers must do so by building, engineering, assembling, and designing better products more economically than their competition. High quality standards and requirements must sustain and the integrity of the product must not be sacrificed. Light-weighting is one strategy to reduce raw materials used thereby minimizing costs and increasing the bottom line.
TriMech Solutions is an engineering technology company specializing in solutions and services for the manufacturing industry and product engineering market space. TriMech has helped its clients design better products by partnering with them and offering, not only CAD/CAE/PDM/FEA/CAM software products, but engineering solutions involving fulltime and temporary staffing, contract design, analysis and drafting services, rapid prototyping, custom programming and implementation services.
Our speaker, Dana Parrish has over 8 years of experience in the manufacturing and product engineering industries. He got his start as a Systems Engineer for McDonnell Douglas at the Kennedy Space Center. He has a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Central Florida and an MBA in International Business from Rollins College. He has held various technical sales positions at CoCreate, Unigraphics, and currently with SolidWorks Corporation. (Dana can be found waterskiing on the many lakes of Central Florida, cheering for the University of Central Florida Knights, or spending quality time with his family).
