SUMMARY:TMAC ACE Metrology Training - Manufacturers Only
DESCRIPTION:Build the foundational skills needed to support America’s growing demand for precision manufacturing professionals through this no-cost ACE Metrology training program\, delivered by TMAC in partnership with America’s Cutting Edge (ACE). \n\n\n\nThe U.S. machining and machine tool industry—comprising over 30\,000 companies nationwide—faces a critical need for skilled talent\, including operators\, engineers\, and designers. The ACE initiative is a national effort to strengthen and revitalize the domestic machine tool sector\, which is essential to maintaining America’s manufacturing competitiveness and national security. \n\n\n\nThis training program begins with a 2-hour online module\, providing an introduction to key metrology concepts. Participants then attend an in-person\, hands-on session\, where they will gain practical experience using industry-standard Mitutoyo precision measurement equipment\, including: \n\n\n\n· Vernier\, dial\, and digital calipers \n\n\n\n· Digital micrometers \n\n\n\n· Gauge blocks \n\n\n\n· Height gauges \n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with a stronger understanding of measurement fundamentals and their application in real-world manufacturing environments. \n\n\n\nThis training is offered at no cost and includes lunch\, refreshments\, and program materials. \n\n\n\nSpace is limited to 10 participants\, so early registration is encouraged. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:SAVE THE DATE: 2026 Texas Manufacturing Excellence Awards
DESCRIPTION:Everyone needs a cheering section. Not cheap applause and fake accolades\, not participation trophies\, but genuine high-fives from the people who know exactly what it takes to perform with excellence as a Texas manufacturer. \n\n\n\nSave the date for June 4th\, we’ll gather at UTARI for a night of food\, celebration\, and (brief) storytelling to honor everyone’s work. Give each other a pat on the back and raise a glass to how far we’ve come\, where we are now\, and what the exciting future of manufacturing in Texas.
