Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

How are things made? In this video I take a look at the different types of manufacturing processes - forming, casting, molding, machining, joining and additive manufacturing - which are used to create ...

Machine learning-assisted metal additive manufacturing has been widely applied in performance optimization and control, such as process parameter optimization, structural optimization of formed parts, ...

Imagine a world where creating custom-fit products is as simple as reshaping a mold with the push of a button. This isn’t a distant dream—it’s the reality offered by PolyMorphic Moulding, a new ...

The manufacturing process is a complex one that can be impacted by many factors: supplies, equipment, factory overhead, the need for special parts, and the people who work at all points in the process ...

Supervising a manufacturing process involves attending to the individual phases of the process as well as to the flow of goods and materials through the different phases that must be coordinated to ...

The ability to produce quality products hinges on four key competencies: modeling of process form and precision levels, design tolerancing of parts and products, selecting production processes that ...
