The best way to solve the skills gap is to ignite the already existing and yet dormant fuel of curiosity inside of young minds.
New work materials are developed continually to improve the capabilities of finished parts, making them lighter and stronger, among other properties. When these materials catch on, cutting tools must adapt to their often challenging properties.
In the aerospace world, as in all sectors of manufacturing, the race is on for faster, more automated and connected machining operations. Aerospace builders have steadily pushed for more automotive-like automation over the past several years in order to improve productivity and more effectively handle large order backlogs in commercial aviation.
Global technology, engineering and advanced manufacturing leader Arconic (NYSE:ARNC) today announced a multi-year supply deal with Toyota North America.
In July, new orders for manufactured durable goods experienced a 5.2% decrease, primarily attributed to a 14.3% decline in transportation equipment, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau
Annie Wang, President of Senvol, has been elected to SME's Additive Manufacturing (AM) Technical Community Leadership Committee (TCLC).
As aerospace ramps up its use of advanced composites, robots and automated manufacturing systems will assume ever larger roles in building and machining these challenging materials.
Manufacturers and fabricators need to consider the application and performance requirements of materials.
The work of SME Additive Community members encompasses the entire history of the technology as well as its most novel applications.
The true story of AM—it’s current and potential abilities and the people who continue to develop it—deserves to be heard.
