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).

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.

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

The SME Composites Technical Community and the National Institute for Aviation Research co-hosted an Aerospace Composites Forum in July at Wichita State University.

Balancing is no act, with tangible benefits for any size shop.

Brian Post of Oak Ridge National Laboratory shares his thoughts on concrete printing, industry partnerships, and making the Mona Lisa

Modern event-based machine vision systems increase efficiency, productivity, and quality
