Smart Manufacturing magazine is seeking nominations for its 2022 honor roll of 20 leaders in smart manufacturing who are transforming the way the industry designs and produces goods.

New wire EDM models offer improved accuracy, faster cycle times and better finishes. They’re also getting easier to use. Makers of EDMs have stepped up their offerings, improving accuracy, speeding cycle times and producing better finishes.

You don’t have to look too far to find the reasons for the growth of fiber lasers for production applications. On price per watt, beam quality, electrical consumption, and maintainability required, fiber lasers typically score the lowest on the cost side and very high on the performance side.

From NASCAR to the operating room, metal components used in many industries require precise, permanent markings that can accurately trace a part’s serial number and other vital statistics that are key to recalls, medical liability cases, and even supply-chain or quality-control issues.

Fast Radius Inc., a cloud manufacturing and digital supply chain company, and ECP Environmental Growth Opportunities Corp. have entered into a definitive agreement that will result in Fast Radius becoming a publicly-listed company.

“You guys are crazy!” That’s what Makino EDM product line manager Brian Pfluger was told—loudly—by a medical-industry customer after Pfluger recommended he use coated wire to make a custom housing for cancer treatment machines.

Laser technology for drilling precision holes has taken a leap forward with faster, cheaper, high-accuracy fiber lasers, which are used in the aerospace industry for turbine engine hole-drilling and other industries. Short-pulse picosecond fiber lasers are likewise making inroads, drilling small, precise holes for the medical and microelectronics industries.

Ancient metalworking techniques like flow-forming are challenging 3D printing in aerospace manufacturing for superior metallurgical properties and cost-effectiveness.
