Word count 1,800-2,000

Here we cover applied technology by discussing how a product or service has positively impacted, in a quantified way, the operation of a precision machined parts business. It's a case study format that states a problem and explains how application of a product or service solved the problem. This solution is quantified by explaining in various metrics-better throughput, lower costs, faster cycle times, longer tool life, etc. Good quality color photography and/or illustrations are mandatory for Case In Point. Word count 800-1,000

Press releases should cite the features and benefits of new products or services that relate to the screw machine industry. A good quality color photograph and/or illustration is preferred but not mandatory. Word count 200-500

Selected brochure covers representing products or services relating to screw machine manufacturing are published in this section. Submission must include a clean copy of the proposed literature piece. A brief explanatory write-up of the subject, generated by Production Machining, will accompany the published literature item.
