New Technology Powers Performance at U.S. Mold Shops

There’s growing evidence that some of the moldmaking business that fled the U.S. chasing cheaper sources offshore is returning. Moldmakers are not finding enough of a favorable cost differential to offset poor mold performance and the need for rework of faulty molds.

Industrial AM Systems Producers Continue Rapid Growth

The world of additive manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing, is quickly changing. The technology allows companies to manufacture products faster, with greater variation, and often with entirely new forms and functions.

Collaboration is Key for the Next Big Additive Manufacturing Leap

My first experience with additive manufacturing was 10 years ago when I managed a project to develop a 3D-printed, remotely piloted aircraft. Within this program, a 3D-printed parts producer, that mainly printed prototypes at the time, collaborated with a university and an aerospace systems manufacturer.

Manufacturing: New and Improved!

The state of manufacturing is always a combination of tried and true methods; improvements (sometimes dramatic) in traditional processes; and brand new technology few people even conceived of a few years ago.

Judging the Other Additive

Mick Maher, winner of SME’s J.H. “Jud” Hall Composites Manufacturing Award, talks composites

AM is Primed to Take Flight, but Certification Poses a Barrier

Unlocking the full potential of additive manufacturing (AM) in aerospace hinges on overcoming certification challenges and fostering industry collaboration to standardize processes and data, ultimately revolutionizing aircraft part design and production.

Teaming Up on Large-Format 3D Printing
