ALLISON TRANSMISSION renews its membership for 2023

We are very pleased to announce that ALLISON TRANSMISSION has renewed its membership with the RIT's Gear Research Consortium for the year 2023. We want to express our deepest appreciation for their continued support for so many years. Their membership renewal will enable us to continue developing and delivering computational tools for advanced gear design to meet all their gear design and simulation needs. We are looking forward to completing another year of successful collaboration.

Highlights for the 2nd RIT's Gear Research Consortium Meeting

The second RIT’s Gear Research Consortium Meeting was held on June 2^nd, 2022, and brought together consortium members, as well as collaborators and observers interested in learning about the latest developments and new features implemented in the software IGD – Integrated Gear Design. The developers of IGD introduced the new features of design and simulation available in the software as well as a new approach for the analytical determination of basic machine-tool settings for the generation of high-reduction face-hobbed hypoid gears. Members of the Consortium presented their companies as well as an update of recent projects and examples of how IGD has contributed to improving their products.
