Strategies for Lightweighting: How Fasteners Can Support Lightweighting Efforts LIVE WEBINAR Co-Produced by Industrial Fasteners Institute and Fastener Training Institute Date September 12, 2025 Time 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. EDT Instructor Laurence Claus, IFI Director of Education and Training COURSE DETAILS In recent years, lightweighting has become an important design initiative for many products. The primary theory of this initiative is that lighter weight and more compact products provide some manner of benefit - such as lightening an airplane to make it easier to take off or an automobile to improve gas mileage. How can small fasteners play a role in this process? This webinar will explore that question and look at three different strategies where fasteners can and do play a vital role in lightweighting efforts. TOPICS INCLUDE • Direct lightweighting • Lightweighting through improved fastener performance • Fasteners as enablers WHO SHOULD ATTEND This webinar is especially relevant to application engineers and companies that support the automotive and aerospace fastener markets. • Application Engineers • Engineering • Business Development • Sales • Anyone interested in learning more about supporting customer lightweighting initiatives REGISTRATION Register directly with Industrial Fasteners Institute. PRICING The cost to participate is $140 per person or $550 for groups up to five. This webinar is free for IFI members. Register on the IFI website.
