Changes in technology are spurring manufacturing to expand in the U.S., speakers said this week at a trade show.
Visibility, uptime, profits, and part quality: why a networked manufacturing floor is no longer a nice-to-have
Replacement knees, hips, and other joints are just the beginning for 3D printing.
In a sign that 3D printing continues to march toward the production floor and isn’t just for small batches and prototypes, Boston-based Formlabs Inc. recently unveiled an automation system for its stereolithography resin printers.
Proliferation of cyber threats puts manufacturers at risk
America Makes, in partnership with the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), will host
the 2023 Spring Technical Review & Exchange (TRX) on March 7-8 in El Paso.
Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group is now using 3D printing from Stratasys to manufacture flight-ready parts for several of its military, civil and business aircraft—while producing specific ground-running equipment at a lower cost than aluminum alternatives.
The state of manufacturing is always a combination of tried and true methods; improvements (sometimes dramatic) in traditional processes; and brand new technology few people even conceived of a few years ago.
The U.S. auto industry has been automated for decades. Production of cars and trucks is associated with large, hulking robots fenced off from human employees. Inside those fenced off areas, tasks such as welding are performed. The industry, though, is advancing on the automation front.
Technology came to the aid of Detroit Tigers management when they hoped to recapture some of the magic of the 1968 Detroit Tigers’ World Series-winning season.
