Unlocking the full potential of additive manufacturing (AM) in aerospace hinges on overcoming certification challenges and fostering industry collaboration to standardize processes and data, ultimately revolutionizing aircraft part design and production.
The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped U.S. manufacturing, creating opportunities and challenges in the aerospace and defense sectors. With it, we saw an emphasis on the crucial role of automation, machine tools, and strategic partnerships in securing success in this evolving landscape.
Turning the turning world on its head with multitasking CNC lathes.
Medical manufacturers use machine learning to boost patient care.
High depth-to-diameter ratios and difficult workpiece characteristics assure vibration in deep hole drilling, but adverse effects can be avoided with dampening systems that support the drill tube.
CMMs are invaluable. Vision systems, portable measuring arms and laser scanners come in a close second. But in the rush to get parts out the door, don’t forget the basics.
The benefits of advanced metrology in smart manufacturing
Giving service members and their dependents a helping hand. Or maybe a leg. Or, sometimes, a second chance at life.
Nicole McMinn and William Cuervo are people you should know in 3D printing
Thinking of buying a 3D printer but concerned about ROI? As Donnie Brasco said, “Forget about it.”
