Additive manufacturing regularly confronts the issue of full-scale manufacturing vs. product customization.
Changes in technology are spurring manufacturing to expand in the U.S., speakers said this week at a trade show.
Smart strategies to address workforce development challenges
Visibility, uptime, profits, and part quality: why a networked manufacturing floor is no longer a nice-to-have
It is common sense—a vehicle that weighs less requires less fuel to move it. A number of studies show that reducing the mass of a vehicle by 10% results in anywhere from 4.5 to 6% better fuel economy—well worth the effort.
An early pioneer in the field of additive manufacturing (AM), the story of Carl R. Deckard, PhD, ME, is an example of the University of Texas motto: “What Starts Here Changes the World.”
From Boeing 787s to new Navy destroyers, fiber-reinforced composites are gaining in use. As production scales up, more-efficient manufacturing remains a focus. One key to that efficiency is tooling for composites. These molds and forms give the final shape to a part, and are often integral to their final curing.
Keeping products clean is becoming a more significant part of manufacturing as standards for cleanliness, deburring, and finish grow more stringent.
