Machining aerospace materials is a challenging task. Not only are machining operations tightly controlled, a wide variety of workpiece materials are employed, including aluminum, titanium, and carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs). The following is a brief guide to cutting tool options for successful machining of airframe components. All of the tools referenced are manufactured by Mitsubishi Materials.

Beware predictions of the demise of any technology. If the early 1920s saw the dawn of the optical comparator, there has been much speculation about its sunset. That was especially true when vision systems started hitting their stride a few years ago. Many could see optical comparators were superfluous with the use of vision systems. Many thought the sunset of optical comparators was imminent. Many were wrong. Why?

The true story of AM—it’s current and potential abilities and the people who continue to develop it—deserves to be heard.

Guill Tool has announced its intent to offer merchant machining services to the global aerospace industry.

There are many key benefits from investing in robotics to help manage maintenance and repairs of manufacturing equipment.

Open X Education, an interactive learning platform, in collaboration with Verisurf Software, Inc., announces the latest metrology learning program designed for those seeking a career in the fast-growing manufacturing and metrology industry.

Aegis Software, a global provider of Manufacturing Operations Management Software (MOM/MES), announces that Lockheed Martin’s Lufkin facility has connected key SMT machines of all key types using the IPC-CFX standard.

Manufacturing Engineering editor-in-chief Alan Rooks is retiring.

Metal diffusion bonding is an essential joining method for achieving a high-purity interface when two similar metals require superior structural integrity. The process involves applying high temperature, and pressure to metals mated together in a hot press causes the atoms on solid metallic surfaces to intersperse and bond.

With the use of composites in demanding applications increasing, improving knowledge of their fire performance is becoming a safety-critical issue, particularly for building and transportation applications.
