Best Foot Forward: Practicality Rules in Additive Manufacturing
Amy Bryson
March 8, 2026
Additive manufacturing (AM) is an essential tool in the advanced manufacturing toolkit. Manufacturing Engineering & Technology (MET) connected with Ben Wynne, president and CTO of Intrepid Automation, a San Diego-based provider of industrial AM solutions, to discuss how various industries use 3D printing as a new approach to manage the supply chain, enable local production, reduce waste and expand design possibilities.

AI Can Elevate Manufacturing Safety, But Accountability Must Stay Human
Tom Goodmanson, CEO, EcoOnline
March 8, 2026
Manufacturers are asked to do more with less every day. Higher output. Tighter margins. Fewer skilled workers. More regulatory pressure. So, it’s no surprise that AI is gaining traction, including in environmental, health and safety (EHS).

Taking Stock on International Women's Day

March 8, 2026
International Women’s Day, celebrated annually on March 8, was established in 1911 to celebrate women’s voices and achievements, as well as raise awareness about discrimination and barriers many face to achieve leadership roles. It’s a time to take stock of progress and the work needed to achieve gender equity. Different voices, views and opinions are the backbone of critical thinking, which is essential to solve manufacturing’s toughest problems.
