Machining composites presents unique challenges compared to metals. Reinforcement fibers are abrasive, shortening tool life. The plastic matrix carries away little heat, unlike metal chips, and overheating can melt the matrix.

Advanced materials for automotive manufacturing are helping automakers build lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

Composites engineers are expanding their craft to build more complex, durable parts at higher production volumes. One way they are achieving this objective is by using infusion-molding processes based on Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM).

Lower operational costs, curb CO2 emissions, and create a better working environment

Desktop Metal Inc., the company founded in 2015 with no plan to produce a production-level printer, is now promoting 3D printing for high-volume serial production under its AM (additive manufacturing) 2.0 initiative.

Two NASA engineers discuss how new metal alloys will aid advanced propulsion concepts.

Additive veteran Andrew Graves boldly goes where no materials expert has gone before.

LIFT, the Detroit-based manufacturing institute, is gearing up after the COVID-19 pandemic suppressed activity.

While it may be greener than traditional manufacturing, AM remains a powerful contributor to emissions, power consumption and supply chain volume.

Predictive maintenance is a way to predict every possible scenario of hardware failure, identifying when maintenance is required and alerting maintenance staff, when necessary, as well as providing preventative solutions.
