Using Additive Manufacturing to Redesign Fluid Power Components for Greater Energy Efficiency
On this episode, we’re offering you a recording of a presentation given at the March 2, 2023 NFPA Quarterly Technology Conference.
Our Quarterly Technology Conferences showcase cutting-edge fluid power technologies – especially those that are helping machine builders and users achieve their technology objectives. Our March event was focused on new fluid power components and system architectures that help those machine builders achieve their energy efficiency goals.
The presentation you’ll hear was given by Dan Bagley, Founder and CEO of B & B Management Labs, who recruited another presenter, Riccardo Nicastro of NIRI Engineering, to focus on the use of additive manufacturing to redesign fluid power components in ways that provide for greater energy efficiency.

Customer Reviews
Great way to learn about applications
Thanks for supporting fluid power, Eric!
Good, but a bit long
I suggest a shorter format, like 10 - 15 minutes per interview.
