Solid-state laser technology has matured, leading to development of new, cost-effective welding applications, such as hybrid welding

Nesting is the process of arranging parts to be cut from sheets of metal or wood in the most efficient manner possible in order to maximize yield and speed the cutting process. By reducing scrap and accelerating the cutting process, fabricators are saving on material cost while running more jobs.

Turning to software over paper reports does more than just save trees. Chris Mahar, Associate Editor of Manufacturing Engineering, talks with David McPhail, President and CEO of Memex Inc., about how manufacturers can utilize technology to improve efficiency, reduce downtime and boost productivity and profits across their business.

Space is usually at a premium for machine shops. Now, in addition to overall floor space limitations, CNC machines and other equipment are becoming increasingly sophisticated and smaller, which can create new challenges.

Robots have become able co-pilots on the factory floor as painters, sanders, machine tenders, and materials transporters.

Digitalization presents both challenges and opportunities for the aerospace and defense manufacturing industry.

At Lockheed Martin, are critical to meeting performance targets.

With physical twins, will there be a time when can we stop building prototypes altogether?

Hexagon and Raytheon Technologies have partnered to deliver a simulation tool that will enable evaluation and optimisation of metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes through the prediction of thermal history and defects at the laser path and powder layer scale.
