Are you a student?

Students are invited to discover and explore the world of advanced manufacturing and a brand new learning experience at CMTS 2019 on October 3, 2019. More than 200 high school students from the surrounding area will descend upon The International Centre to attend the SME Education Foundation Student Summit event at CMTS. The Student Summit event series delivers student-centric programming, hands-on challenges and competitions, technology demonstrations, and guided show-floor tours at SME conferences and trade shows across the country.

The Student Drone Challenge

The goal during the challenge is for students to fly, configure, reverse engineer, design, build and code drones. Student teams compete against each other while learning about integrating hardware and software systems. Most importantly, they’ll experience the clean and high-tech manufacturing process that is often overlooked while exploring the role of a mechanical engineer and drone pilot.

Guided Show-Floor Tour and Technology Demonstrations

Students and educators will discover new manufacturing technologies, processes, innovations and educational opportunities as they interact with manufacturing exhibitors during a guided tour of the CMTS show floor.

Mass timber can cut weeks off schedules, but insurance and keeping it dry decide who wins

Mass timber can cut weeks off schedules, but insurance and keeping it dry decide who wins

Mass timber can frame faster with less labor. But moisture protection and builder’s risk placement can make or break project economics. For owners, success is now a planning discipline.

  • 01The schedule benchmark is no longer theoretical: Redstone Arsenal’s CLT hotel cut structural duration by 37%, and that number is showing up in owner discussions about delivery models and labor planning.
  • 02Insurance is becoming a design input for mass timber, moisture exposure and remediation lead times belong in specs and logistics plans before panels ship.
  • 03Mass timber’s most practical upside often lands outside carbon: exposed structure reduces finish scope, but it forces earlier HVAC decisions in open-ceiling spaces.
