Machine tool orders posted a small gain in October, helped by a boost from machine shops and the auto industry, according to a monthly report.

The ever-volatile oil and natural gas industry—roiled most recently by September’s drone attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities that temporarily reduced the kingdom’s output by nearly half (about 5 percent of global production)—faces particularly challenging requirements for machined components to meet evolving supply targets.

Kennametal Inc., Pittsburgh, has formed a 3D printing materials and production business unit, Kennametal Additive Manufacturing, as part of its Infrastructure segment.

Additive manufacturing, and AM machines, have gone mainstream over the past five years. The technology has advanced. More materials, including metals and composites, are being used for 3D printing, where parts are made from a digital design.

Making 3D printing sustainable requires more than recyclable materials and energy-efficient equipment; it requires that we rethink the status quo.

The range and requirements of flexible machining cells are increasing.

Autonomous mobile robots are more than automated material handling.

AI, analytics, robots and additive manufacturing are transforming healthcare—from surgery to billing

The dramatic growth in the number of universities with sustained AM research programs and associated curricula also means that many of these graduating students have even played a direct role in advancing the technology.

Additive manufacturing is this month’s focus in Manufacturing Engineering. As you’ll read in this month’s pages, AM is spreading its reach even as there are challenges to more widespread adoption.
