To be competitive in today’s dynamic manufacturing environment, small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) need to implement mechanisms to facilitate the effective processing of multiple streams of highly volatile and time-sensitive customer requirements.

A look back at SME on its 90th anniversary.

SME's FABTECH show in Atlanta highlighted advances in additive manufacturing.

Robots have become able co-pilots on the factory floor as painters, sanders, machine tenders, and materials transporters.

Safety critical aerospace manufacturing applications demand secure threads that won’t loosen.

The real challenges in aerospace manufacturing aren’t in technology; they lie in finding skilled people to implement the technologies.
