It is common sense—a vehicle that weighs less requires less fuel to move it. A number of studies show that reducing the mass of a vehicle by 10% results in anywhere from 4.5 to 6% better fuel economy—well worth the effort.

The carbon nanotube sheet shows tantalizing properties for the aerospace industry. Research at HTMI aims to hold it to its promise

Dunnage used to ship and process automotive parts on the shop floor is a key component in the overall manufacturing process, yet it is often overlooked when companies are working to make lines lean and green. Today, it is important that manufacturers know that most dunnage used to transport parts from start to finish can be reused for the lifetime of production.

Drilling a hole to required specification in production drilling can be challenging when the workpiece material is especially difficult-to-machine.

Specialized metal alloys, ceramics, thermoplastics and other newer materials continue to aid aging populations

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.

Building the business case for sustainability efforts in manufacturing

ABB Robotics says Swiss start-up Sevensense’s technology will offer an unprecedented combination of speed, accuracy, and payload for the company's AMR's portfolio.

Reflections from one-half of the team who brought us selective laser sintering (SLS)

AI, analytics, robots and additive manufacturing are transforming healthcare—from surgery to billing
