Next Industry Capability Day set for March 9

Next month’s Team Orlando Industry Capability Day presented by National Center for Simulation will feature 15 companies who specialize in a variety of areas like e-learning solutions, pyrotechnic effects, virtual technologies and medical. The event is scheduled for March 9 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and takes place in Partnership 3, Room 321 (3039 Technology Parkway).

Industry Capability Day is a great way for businesses with new or upgraded innovative products or services to share those with the Team Orlando workforce, as well as fellow industry members, creating wonderful opportunities for collaboration, networking and discussion. Here is the current line up for next month’s event.

3D Simulations

3D Simulations provides 3D printing (additive manufacturing with fused deposition modeling) in a wide variety of plastics tailored to meet strict specifications as required by the Defense Modeling and Simulation industry. We provide professional 3D printing and modeling using the newest available machines and technology to achieve high tolerance parts. Our machines can 3D print with layers less than half as thick as a sheet of paper. If that high of a resolution is still too rough for your application, our advanced post processing methods will create a smooth exterior surface.

Our specialty is in the area of rapid prototyping of fully functional parts for various military and commercial simulations applications. Our regular customers particularly value the significant cost savings provided by shortened lead times and high tolerance specifications accurate for testing form fit and function.

Adobe

Adobe Reimagines eLearning, making it faster and easier to deliver, exchange and measure knowledge across communities.

The next wave of digital learning solutions should be driven by the learner experience. This is more akin to how online retailers market products and services – so we’ll be marketing “knowledge.” There is much we can borrow that is considered our ‘future’ and their ‘present’— digital marketing’s focus on the experience is the crystal ball. Online retail experiences have been redefined / reimagined and disrupted the status quo of a trillion-dollar market. From shopping, to booking a flight, or entertainment – our behavior, expectations, and vocabulary have changed by an improved experience. We binge watch TV (and stay up later than we should); we expect free, same day shipping; and we arrange transportation with a mobile app – all because of efficient and personalized experiences. Experience Driven Learning (EDL) recognizes how similar the digital marketing sector is to that the eLearning. Concepts such as social, community interaction and deep analytics are directly applicable to eLearning. By augmenting traditional “pass / fail” metrics with social tracking, more insight is gained on what is working, not working, and where the gaps are.

Digital Solid State Propulsion, Inc. will be showing their eSquib.

Military training commands are under constant pressure for more environmentally safe pyrotechnic effects, while the need to use even more realistic effects on bases continues to increase. DSSP has adapted Missile Defense Agency, Small Business Innovative Research program satellite propulsion technology to new battlefield effects. The electric solid propellant (ESP) based devices cannot be ignited by flame or shock, and only ignite with electrical power. The devices can be integrated across numerous training platforms or training scenarios using a combination of live, virtual and constructive inputs. eSquibs® are tiny devices that can be placed virtually anywhere and are nontoxic, containing no perchlorates, lead, or PETN.
