Until the middle of 2010, first-tier subcontract machinist, JJ Churchill, could produce turbine blades only if they had their fir-tree root-forms preground elsewhere, or if they were subsequently added by another subcontractor. No longer is this the case.

Micro components continue to shrink in size, demanding ever-greater precision and improved handling of parts with sub-micron-sized features. New approaches in micro machining technology include higher-precision systems from traditional micro machining developers, as well as techniques using additive manufacturing processes and semiconductor wafer-scale technology on the smallest of micro parts.

When you walk into the Redeye On Demand facility in Eden Prairie, MN, you enter into one version of the factory of the future. There you will see a bank of 100 high-end Fortus fused-deposition modeling (FDM) machines from Stratasys that provide the capacity to build real, functional parts with production-grade thermoplastics directly from CAD data.

What manufacturers wanting in on Industry 4.0 should know before investing in a 3D printer

CAD/CAM improves generative design, print simulation, path programming and process control in additive manufacturing.

Worker training will be key to implementing Industry 4.0 in manufacturing, speakers at a presentation said today.

Metal diffusion bonding is an essential joining method for achieving a high-purity interface when two similar metals require superior structural integrity. The process involves applying high temperature, and pressure to metals mated together in a hot press causes the atoms on solid metallic surfaces to intersperse and bond.

Thermwood Corp. has added a third print orientation to its LSAM Large Scale Additive Manufacturing systems.

Key steps are virtual twins and real relationships.

While fossil fuels dominate the energy market, expect a new mix of parts as renewable energy and EVs grow in market share.
