In this Question Line video, Jason breaks down what the MMC modifier does, how bonus tolerance works, and why there is minimal benefit of applying MMC on a threaded hole.
Quaise is developing a new kind a drill to potentially drill the deepest holes on the planet, using fusion technology to produce laser beams that vaporize rock. This video takes a look at their prototype site in Houston, TX and details the engineering challenges they are facing to unlock deep geothermal energy.
We are excited to highlight our client, Hendrick Motorsports, this week! This video gives us an all-access garage tour of their complex outside of Charlotte, NC— including the machine shop and suspension room—and a look into the custom safety equipment used to keep their drivers safe.
