During our time in the Richmond section, we collaborated with a local charity to streamline their donation process through 5S and lean principles, an endeavor later showcased at WCQI. ASQ events prioritize enjoyment alongside professional development, fostering connections.

There are times when a Quality practitioner may be called upon to support team members in ways that go beyond the strict interpretation of the role. These are described in a way that indicates the necessary situation, along with the constructive outcomes from such involvement.

The integration of 3D scanning and additive manufacturing has opened new possibilities in metrology. Analyzing the technical intricacies of 3D laser scanning hardware and software reveals their pivotal role in shaping engineering's future.

Quality sat down with Michael Raphael, CEO & President, Direct Dimensions Inc., to learn more about the varied applications for advanced 3D scanning. He will be speaking at The Quality Show South coming up this May in Nashville. His session is called Advanced 3D Scanning Systems for Part Modeling and Inspection

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.

A leading aircraft manufacturer faces $27B in losses due to slow supply chain fixes, aggravated by escalating quality standards like AS9102 Rev C. The solution lies in seamless communication of requirements from buyers to suppliers, streamlining operations for all parties involved.

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.

This article explores the transformative impact of incorporating rotary stages into coordinate measuring systems, enhancing their capabilities and the efficiency of the measurement process.

As the industry continues to trend toward a more patient-centric approach, we see an increasing buzz around the development and utilization of wearable injectors, also known as on-body delivery systems (OBDS)—the next evolution in needle-based drug delivery products.

The pandemic has forced a shift in business models, with companies relying on digitization and remote working to cut costs and improve efficiency. Collaborative trends are on the rise, with teams collaborating performing five times better than those who don't.
