More Mistakes That Manufacturers Make
Last year, I wrote about the Common Mistakes That Growing Manufacturers Make (June 2017). Well, here are a few more examples of how manufacturers can avoid serious problems and reduce risks, costs, and streamline their business processes.
Using Direct Current with Inverter Technology Reduces Costs and Improves Control
Resistance welding with direct current (DC) using inverter technology reduces costs by improving quality, reducing maintenance, and increasing productivity.
Axiomtek and FANUC America Case Study: Machining Simulator
The main purpose of the Machining Simulator is to promote learning about manufacturing in a classroom setting. Each simulator reacts exactly like a real machine and allows students to design, create CAD/CAM models and command the machine tool to produce simulated end product
Stratasys Announces Resignation of Ilan Levin as CEO and Director
Current Chairman to also serve as interim CEO; Special Committee of Board to support management of the Company until successor is appointed
Extending the Life and Improving the Performance of Plastic Injection Molds

Digital Transformation for the Service Enterprise
The Digital Revolution has already disrupted media, finance, consumer products, healthcare, and other sectors. Manufacturing leaders cant (and shouldnt) escape it.
Why Conventional Planning Fails
This bimodal distribution is rampant throughout industry. It can be very simply described as "too much of the wrong and too little of the right" at any point in time and "too much in total" over time.
HP Showcases Growth in High-Volume 3D Printing Deployments and Breakthrough Applications for Manufacturing
Protolabs, IAM 3D Hub, Materialise, and ZiggZagg embrace HPs Multi Jet Fusion for digital manufacturing; new applications for the Pontifical Swiss Guard, PepsiCo, auto racing, orthotics, industrial machinery, and more
Renishaw Reduces Machining Time for Aerospace Impeller Manufacturer
If the workpiece datum of a finished part is off-centre, the impeller must be submitted for design analysis, in which a designer reviews the component and decides whether it can be used. Each analysis costs approximately $66,900 per part
KOMET GROUP Innovates Cutting Tools Using Metal 3D Printing Technology
As well as allowing special cutters to be produced more quickly, the use of additive manufacturing enables more complex shapes to be generated, both for the external shape of the tooling and for the internal cooling channels.
Six Things You Should Know About Laser Alignment
Laser alignment technology has been around for some time, but you may still be surprised at the scale and scope of the benefits that these systems deliver.
