| From Design to Manufacturing |
Once the design of a new gear set is complete, all requirements for strength, service life, efficiency, and noise appear to have been met. At this point, the design engineers’ job is done—but is it really?

| Mazak Collaborates With ORNL to Develop Additive Manufacturing Platform |
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Mazak have partnered for the development of a convergent metal additive manufacturing platform that unifies metal additive manufacturing and high-precision machining within production-relevant workflows. Featuring two of Mazak’s VC-Ez 20X Vertical Machining Centers, the technology allows manufacturers to deliver high-mix, low-volume parts with shorter lead times while maintaining an effective strategy for low-mix, high-volume production capability.

| Detect deviations early and keep tolerances under control |
Manufacturing deviations can affect gearbox NVH and require careful tolerance decisions. The FVA-Workbench helps assess their impact on gearbox performance and identify where tolerances are critical or can be relaxed. This provides a sound basis for refining designs and reducing unnecessary manufacturing costs.

| ISO vs. MPMA Standard: Questions to Ask Before Adoption |
A common question that MPMA’s technical committees face is whether to adopt an ISO standard or to maintain a separate American National Standard (ANS) on the same subject. The answer is rarely straightforward—it depends on the specifics of each case.
