Process control is moving forward as quickly as data collection and processing can carry it, and a recent research effort demonstrated how fast and flexible, and adaptive, machining operations can be.

Precision grinding of bearing rings and rollers is a well established process, one that has been applied, tested, and analyzed over many years. Until recently, the common view among many grinding ...

The aerospace CNC machining sits at the heart of modern aviation and space exploration. Every component that leaves a machining facility must meet rigorous safety, performance, and regulatory ...

Daniel Herrington was working for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA–E) when he realized the importance of manufacturing. “Manufacturing underpins most ...

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has had a major impact on the contemporary design and production process. First developed in 1988 with the aim of allowing for rapid prototyping, ...

CNC machining, AKA Computer Numerical Control machining, is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, enabling the precise and automated production of complex parts. Used in industries ranging from ...

In many manufacturing operations, casting and machining still operate like two separate trades connected via a drawing and a due date. The foundry pours the part. The machine shop figures out how to ...
