Laser micro-cutting can increase precision and enable contactless cutting for machines, leading to higher-quality products.

A professor, who visited IMTS in September, discusses trends in machine tools.

The U.S. government is investing billions into semiconductor research, development, and production. What does it mean for manufacturers?

The power of highly functional fabric manufacturing brings new possibilities to life.

Beginning around six years ago, one machine tool builder after another added laser cutting and even welding to their products’ already impressive repertoires.

East Iowa Machine Co. (EIMCo) in Farley, Iowa, is a full-service machine and fabrication shop. It is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing company, employing about 150 people on three shifts at its single 130,000 ft2 (12,077 m3) location, and converts raw metals into finished component parts and assemblies using a wide variety of CNC equipment and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes.

In the last seven to eight years, solid-state lasers have come to dominate laser welding and cutting,” said Tom Bailey, product specialist for Trumpf Inc. (Farmington, CT). While Trumpf still produces CO2 lasers, for most applications solid-state lasers literally outshine them.

Additive manufacturing (AM) pioneer Charles Hull introduced the first commercial 3D printer, the SLA-1, in 1987. Jaws dropped, machinists wondered about their next career, pundits said it spelled the death of traditional manufacturing. None of that happened, thankfully; in fact, some said 3D printing was a bunch of hype, good for little more than investment casting patterns and proof of concept prototypes.
