How Aerospace Precision Can Modernize American Manufacturing
One of the biggest obstacles to modernization, he notes, is cultural rather than technical. The main barriers are organizational silos, he says. Design, production, and IT often operate separately, and without shared data, digital transformation stalls.
Closing Europe's aerospace production gap - EDM automation as part of the answer
EDM removes material using controlled electrical sparks between an electrode and the workpiece submerged in dielectric fluid. This makes it possible to cut extremely hard metals into complex shapes with micrometre accuracy.
