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.

Using Blockly to make robots easier to install and operate without specialized training.

Manufacturers must avoid costly machine errors that cause catastrophic damage to both machine tools and expensive workpieces. Even a minor error in, say, a titanium aerospace component can be a major expense.

Machining gears is still regarded by many machine tool operators as a true challenge and a realm reserved exclusively for specialists.

When energy infrastructure fails, the cost is often unbearable. Are better design tools the means to reduce risk, improve efficiency, and prepare the world for a more sustainable future?

Robots have become able co-pilots on the factory floor as painters, sanders, machine tenders, and materials transporters.

Incremental changes highlight recent advances in the wake of severe supply chain challenges.

Decarbonizing aviation will require a vast, collective effort to develop and mature a range of capabilities and technologies. Given the urgency, incrementalism won’t cut it.

The SME Composites Technical Community and the National Institute for Aviation Research co-hosted an Aerospace Composites Forum in July at Wichita State University.

With physical twins, will there be a time when can we stop building prototypes altogether?
