Micro components continue to shrink in size, demanding ever-greater precision and improved handling of parts with sub-micron-sized features. New approaches in micro machining technology include higher-precision systems from traditional micro machining developers, as well as techniques using additive manufacturing processes and semiconductor wafer-scale technology on the smallest of micro parts.
Chuck Mathews, executive vice president, CMO, CTO ESPRIT CAM, part of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, discusses the latest software trends.
A job shop develops skilled CNC machinists and programmers, invests in world-class technology and refines manufacturing procedures in this shop solutions story.
In the AI world, fear is driven by unfamiliarity with the process, the professional impact of failure and the daunting tasks of pulling together all of the people and perspectives required just to get started. Here are three key lessons learned from our work with Rolls-Royce and Gulfstream that will clear your AI project for takeoff.
Visibility, uptime, profits, and part quality: why a networked manufacturing floor is no longer a nice-to-have
Smart strategies to address workforce development challenges
CAD/CAM improves generative design, print simulation, path programming and process control in additive manufacturing.
Tough materials, tight tolerances, low quantities, and complex shapes—leading suppliers offer advice for navigating the energy industry’s stringent demands.
Key steps are virtual twins and real relationships.
Sandvik Coromant’s Package Selector Application analyzes a 3D CAD model of a product and recommends the smallest packaging possible using an AI algorithm that calculates the product’s rotation.
