DMG Mori (Hoffman Estates, IL) delivers manufacturing technologies to aerospace OEMs and production shops supported by a package of CAD/CAM/CNC hardware, software, and engineering services from Siemens Industry Inc. (Elk Grove Village, IL) for aerospace machining. A long-time partner with Siemens, DMG Mori builds a variety of conventional chip-cutting and ultrasonic machining centers.

Manufacturing operations frequently leave workpiece edges ragged and part surfaces rough. Metalcutting tools produce burrs, casting processes create unwanted parting line flash, and welding generates built-up areas and splatter.

Ohio-based LSPT—its name stands for Laser Shock Peening Technologies—is busy preparing to test the use of exploding vapor from water heated by a laser beam to create tiny deformations in the surface of materials used to build aircraft, to improve crack propagation—and therefore fatigue behavior—in the area.

The US economy remains in a steady and sustainable moderate growth mode. Solid employment gains and gradually firming wage growth have supported household income, consumer confidence and outlays. The same dynamics should persist into 2018 and support a steady, modest pace of consumer spending.

If NASA’s Journey to Mars project succeeds, the astronauts who make the 140 million-mile (225 million-km) trip to the Red Planet in the 2030s will need someplace to stay. The space agency is looking at 3D printing, using on-site materials, to manufacture humanity’s first deep space home.

The National Fund for Workforce Solutions will help small and mid-sized manufacturers address their need for skilled workers through a new $1.5 million grant from the Boeing Company.

It’s the perfect storm for manufacturers: Thousands of skilled Baby Boomer workers have begun retiring, and digitization of the manufacturing process is sweeping nearly all areas of the industry. The Deloitte/Manufacturing Institute 2017 study predicts a shortage of two million workers in the next decade.

Airbus has achieved a 3D printing first with the installation of a 3D printed titanium bracket on a series production commercial aircraft. Manufactured by Arconic, a global technology, engineering, and advanced manufacturing company, the 3D printed titanium bracket was installed on a series production Airbus commercial aircraft, the A350 XWB.

Arconic (NYSE:ARNC), a global technology, engineering and advanced manufacturing leader, has entered into two agreements to supply Airbus 3D printed metal parts for the airplane maker’s commercial aircraft. Arconic will supply 3D printed components made from high temperature nickel superalloys, and 3D printed titanium airframe parts under two separate agreements.

In a recent LNS Research study on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Digital Transformation, the top two challenges facing the adoption of IIoT technology are finding the budget to invest (32% of respondents) and building the business case (30% of respondents).
