In a manufacturing world built on constant evolution, one of the biggest challenges that manufacturers, defense contractors, and industrial equipment operators face is obsolescence. Legacy parts age out of production, original suppliers disappear, and tooling is lost or too expensive to reproduce. These challenges strain supply chains, create costly downtime,...
For many years, the central narrative surrounding manufacturing has been simple: choose additive manufacturing for prototyping and traditional methods, like injection molding, for mass production. However, what happens when a product pushes past the prototype phase, yet isn't quite ready for full-scale manufacturing?That in-between stage is where many companies find...
Additive manufacturing is rapidly transforming from a prototyping tool into a full-fledged production solution. With this shift comes the demand for materials that can handle real-world challenges: heat, flame, stress, tight tolerances, and more. In response, specialized polymers are being developed and certified at a remarkable pace to meet these...
In recent years, reshoring—the process of bringing manufacturing operations back to the original country—has gained significant momentum in the United States. What was once a consideration has now become a primary initiative for both businesses and policymakers. This shift is driven by global supply chain disruptions, evolving trade policies, and...
The world of manufacturing is evolving rapidly, driven by cutting-edge technologies that promise to reshape how we produce everything from complex parts to final products. One of the most exciting advancements in this space is metal binder jetting—a 3D printing technology that combines the power of additive manufacturing with the...
