From Boeing 787s to new Navy destroyers, fiber-reinforced composites are gaining in use. As production scales up, more-efficient manufacturing remains a focus. One key to that efficiency is tooling for composites. These molds and forms give the final shape to a part, and are often integral to their final curing.

A 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 shown at the Detroit Auto Show was additively manufactured on a Cincinnati BAAMCI machine by DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), one of seven founding members of the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation. The Detroit IACMI branch will get $70 million to develop a robust supply chain to improve materials, handling, and machining properties for automotive composites.

Workholding techniques using a magnetic field, a vacuum, or an adhesive can be effective alternatives to clamps. When these techniques are used, more part area is available for the cutting tools, thin parts can be held, and initial setup can be fast and simple. Plus, there is a potential for smoother surfaces and a shorter overall production cycle.

ZOLLER announced an open house event at its North American headquarters for May 9-11.

When SOP Technologies sought the ideal destination to develop, test, manufacture, and market its devices that help stop ocean pollution, Miami quickly rose high on the list.

In a world where machine shops are struggling to stay open and maintain their business and in a day when “going into dad’s business” is not what it once was, Platinum Tooling is an exception to the rule.

Machine operators can replace time-consuming manual setups and gauging with the precision of digital metrology through a conversational CNC interface.

Bay County received a welcomed award at the September 21st Commission meeting.

Pace Industries, a provider of custom die casting, engineering and manufacturing for many industries, has closed on the acquisition of aluminum high-pressure die casting facility Jackson Die Cast from Metal Technologies of Indiana.

Selecting the best type of cutting tool for holemaking jobs is not always clear. It is best to have a drill that caters to the workpiece material, produces the specs required, and provides the most profit for the job at hand. Considering the variety of jobs and parts manufactured in machine shops, there is no “one-drill-fits-all.”
