Cost savings on aerospace manufacturing processes can come from many places, whether in reduced capital expenditure, consumable tooling, logistics, or cycle time reduction.
Today engineers can identify opportunities where an abrasives solution will outperform traditional machining processes.
Lower operational costs, curb CO2 emissions, and create a better working environment
The digital thread is one piece of the digital transformation underway at NASA and throughout the manufacturing community.
NASA landed another rover on Mars in February, thanks in part to the work and leadership of Adam Steltzner. SME’s Smart Manufacturing interviewed him shortly thereafter.
Embracing the digital transformation is key to growing out of volatility during this recovery period—and the defense industry’s success with Quality 4.0 tech proves how they support resilience in the face of uncertainty.
Sure, grinding equipment itself is getting better— but so is all the technology surrounding it.
