Not long ago, the mention of workholding might call to mind the traditional vise or three-jaw chuck. The integral nature of proper fixturing to successful machining has forever changed that paradigm and made workholding as critical to the manufacturing process as any of the machines or systems of which it is a part.

In the 1955 short story “Autofac,” Philip K. Dick envisioned a world dominated by self-replicating robots that work incessantly, eventually depleting the planet’s resources.

Vibrations, chatter marks, and tool failure are all problems that can be prevented with intelligent monitoring and feedback systems.

The history of cutting tools goes back a ways—a long, long way. Our prehistoric ancestors were pretty good at making stone tools, and the technology has improved from there. I saw how much on a February visit to the Deutsches Museum in Munich, which has an exhibit on the history of machining.

It’s said that holemaking is the most commonly performed of all machining operations. And it stands to reason that most of those holes must be reamed or most likely bored after drilling. For as long as machinists have been boring holes, however, they’ve struggled with a variety of problems.

Supply-chain stresses are especially troublesome to the aerospace industry and its Tier suppliers. It’s critical that manufacturers in this industry attain a comprehensive understanding of their vulnerabilities.

Xometry, Inc., an AI-enabled marketplace for on-demand manufacturing, today announced the launch of version 2.0 of its app for Autodesk Fusion 360, a leading CAD design platform.

Data democratization promises to boost manufacturing quality and deliver real-world ROI.

Want to decrease setup times and become more competitive? Before investing in quick-change tooling or a new machine tool, take a look in the mirror: The roadblock might just be you.

Machines can learn to spot anomalies in-process and end-of-line.
