Key industry sectors are experiencing strong demand— so strong that hamstrung manufacturers often can't keep up.n

Bystronic Laser AG, working jointly with EMCO GmbH from Hallein/Salzburg, undertook a complete redesign of the machine frame machining process so that it could be carried out by EMCO Mecof's Megamill high-gantry milling machine.

Velo3D's Sapphire 3D printing system aids small-satellite revolution.

The award recognizes the world-class carbide manufacturing facility's operational excellence, customer focus, and ongoing employee engagement.

Southern Illinois University researcher has a $200,000 grant to improve the ultrastrong sandwich materials hidden in car panels and airplane wings

Eagerly awaited, IMTS is finally opening its doors again after a forced break due to the pandemic. And during the break, Mikron Tool's R&D department has been busy developing better ways to machine demanding materials in the micron range. Some of them are "crazy."

Sapphire XC 1MZ continues Velo3D's legacy of delivering leading-edge performance for metal additive manufacturing technology and has the largest laser powder bed fusion print volume from a leading manufacturer. The Sapphire XC 1 MZ system combines Velo3D's innovative geometric capabilities with the repeatable, standardized processes and validated material properties necessary to achieve distributed manufacturing in a larger format.

Using lasers to mark parts can reduce damage done by counterfeiters.

Marlor Tooling has been designing and manufacturing cutting tools for more than 20 years. The company has invested in a new linear grinder with robotic loading and RFID technology.

Stalybridge, UK-based engineering company Park Engineering has increased the size of parts it can machine and subsequently measure on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

The Starrag site in Rorschacherberg in Switzerland is synonymous with highly productive, long-lasting machining solutions in the aircraft industry. This is what made this site the perfect choice for the Starrag Competence Center Aerospace.

Plate heat exchangers are found in numerous industrial applications, and essentially use metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. Their use is burgeoning as they out-perform conventional heat exchangers (often a coiled pipe containing one fluid that passes through a chamber containing another fluid) as the fluids being cooled are in contact with a much greater surface area, which optimizes the transfer of heat and greatly increases the speed of temperature change.
