Middleton, Wis.-based ACI is joining Dwyer Instruments, Omega Engineering and Universal Flow Monitors under the DwyerOmega brand.
Researchers at ORNL and the University of Maine receive the Aubin Case Study Award
for addressing the low-income housing crisis by printing affordable, earth-friendly homes.
Machina Labs unveils the game-changing Machina Deployable System, a portable robotic marvel combining AI and advanced robotics for digital part formation and cutting, set to revolutionize manufacturing at FABTECH 2023.
Castrol’s SmartControl system is the new way to monitor and manage metalworking fluid (MWF), automatically and in real time.
Advancements in waterjet technology lead to new uses, industries.
Today, the productivity needed to be globally competitive requires ever increasing metal-removal rates during operations such as roughing and high-speed slotting. Process reliability is paramount, especially when working with difficult-to-machine materials.
Impossible Objects LLC, a Chicago-based company, has brought to market a new composites material manufacturing technology known as Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) 3D technology which produces Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) or Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC) parts.
Overall, there are two overriding customer needs: reducing cycle time and machine downtime. They want higher feed rates and depth of cut for greater metal removal.
Today’s products require high finishes, burr-free edges, freedom from contamination, and often close tolerances. Electropolishing provides all of those conditions and more in a matter of seconds for many metal parts. It is a process that has been used for more than a hundred years. It is widely known and the science is widely discussed, but its ability to run job shop lots and high-precision high-volume parts in the same equipment makes it a bit unique.
When you walk into the Redeye On Demand facility in Eden Prairie, MN, you enter into one version of the factory of the future. There you will see a bank of 100 high-end Fortus fused-deposition modeling (FDM) machines from Stratasys that provide the capacity to build real, functional parts with production-grade thermoplastics directly from CAD data.
