Seco Virtual Event Gives Aerospace Manufacturers Viable Solutions to Real-Life Challenges
With the value of collaboration in the pursuit of innovation in mind, Seco Tools and its partners hosted the Aerospace Inspiration Through Innovation (ITI) virtual event on December 1st. This event focused on collaborative solutions to some of aerospace manufacturing’s top challenges. Events were held throughout the globe and drew more than 1,439 registrants. With a focus on the complex issues and trends aerospace manufacturers face, ITI showcased real-life machining demonstrations and important panel conversations about digitalization and sustainability.
Valuable lessons from collaborations
The Seco Tools ITI events draw on the company’s global network of partners, bringing together in-house expertise and external knowledge to explore problem-solving possibilities. During Aerospace ITI 2021, attendees experienced the results of such innovative partnerships and discovered how collaboration can help them find solutions that will drive their businesses forward. This collaborative approach solves ongoing issues found in manufacturing aircraft components, such as the challenges inherent in machining materials like titanium, superalloys and aluminum from billets, forgings and near-net additive manufactured parts.
