The 2017 Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show (CMTS), being held during the ongoing observance of Canada’s sesquicentennial, will welcome attendees to a new world of manufacturing innovation and opportunity. CMTS, produced by SME, returns to The International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, Sept. 25-28.

Hands-on access to today’s most advanced technologies isn’t the only thing attendees of the SOUTH-TEC manufacturing show, produced by SME and AMT, will have at their fingertips.

CNA today announced the selection of Tooling U-SME — a leader in manufacturing workforce education and development — as the newest member of its Allied Vendor Program.

Amanda Rosenblatt, marketing coordinator for Shop Floor Automations in La Mesa, California, and her friend, Greg Cross, won Smart Manufacturing magazine’s first talent contest.

UL, a global safety science company, and Tooling U-SME, a leader in manufacturing workforce and education development, announce the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) focused on a new collaboration to enhance workforce training and development efforts for manufacturers wanting to increase their capabilities in additive manufacturing.

Scanning metrology providers respond to varied needs; software improves to help engineers with scan data

If you’re trying to optimize metalcutting speeds, especially in difficult-to-machine materials, “Heat transfer is the name of the game.” That’s the summary offered up by Ranajit Ghosh, manager of applications R&D and growth for Air Products (Allentown, PA). “Most heat from a machining operation exits through the chip, but some transfers to the cutting tool, toolholder, machine spindle and workpiece. Heat buildup in the cutting tool causes thermal softening of the edge, which is why we often have to employ coolant.”

The road to manufacturing success today runs through the mountain of data that tools are generating in metalcutting applications, and most importantly communicating and reacting to in real time on the shop floor.

New materials for additive manufacturing are used for a diverse range of applications, including 3D paints for making human tissue-like cells; a hardenable stainless steel powder for surgical instruments; and a sustainable composite reinforced with bamboo fibers that resembles wood when printed.

If NASA’s Journey to Mars project succeeds, the astronauts who make the 140 million-mile (225 million-km) trip to the Red Planet in the 2030s will need someplace to stay. The space agency is looking at 3D printing, using on-site materials, to manufacture humanity’s first deep space home.
