In an upside surprise, December 2023 orders of manufacturing technology totaled $491 million, up nearly 22% from November 2023, and nearly 12% above December 2022, according to the U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders Report published by AMT.
Patented RapidPIX™ lossless compression helps designers boost performance without adding costs by increasing data throughput over installed Ethernet infrastructure.
Quality control is crucial for meeting high product standards, and handheld gages are key to achieving such precision. But how exactly do these tools ensure accurate measurements?
Experts advise that calibration schedules should be both flexible and systematic. Alongside calibration and inspection, simple practices such as regular cleaning and proper storage are crucial for maintaining the accuracy and longevity of measurement tools, ensuring consistently high standards of precision and quality in manufacturing processes.
3D printing, or additive manufacturing (AM), revolutionizes part production by building them layer by layer from base materials, unlike traditional subtractive methods. In this article, we'll delve into the complexities of additive manufacturing inspection, highlighting the unique nuances of AM-produced parts.
