INTERVIEW: Protolabs President & CEO Vicki Holt on the future of digital manufacturing | Cnc Machined Components

“For a long time, I was a recycling skeptic because the economics didn’t make sense – you had to pay extra to recycle, meaning we were using more resources than you were saving,” said Myers. “But I believe now we’re moving toward a place where recycling will make much more sense than it does now.”

In the 13 technology presentations and the Customer Care presentation visitors were able to experience the latest machines and solutions of the eight company brands – from the Mägerle MFP 30, a world innovation for machining aircraft engine blades, to the European premiere of the Studer S31 for machining very long workpieces; from the extensive services offered by the Group’s Customer Care department through to the production of ultrahard tools using laser on an Ewag Laser Line Ultra, which was presented at the symposium in a webshop solution in cooperation with a customer. Experts from the United Grinding Group presented the machines and applications to visitors alternating between German, English, French and Italian.

If someone is earning $45,000 a year as a welder, she said, they might not realize how much of that money already goes to fixed expenses.

About TMA: Founded in 1925, the Technology & Manufacturing Association (TMA) represents and supports manufacturers in the Chicago metropolitan area and surrounding counties in northern Illinois, northern Indiana, and southern Wisconsin. TMA has almost 1,000 members and represents over 32,000 employees and nearly 26M square feet of manufacturing in Illinois.

M-Steel is a low alloyed, or non-alloyed, machinability-treated steel. Over 30 years it has proven its ability to achieve significant reductions in machining costs. M-Steel has been used as a successful replacement for conventional steel by hundreds of component manufacturers in the automotive and general engineering industries – its benefits are especially apparent in automated turning and drilling processes. This has been confirmed by independent tests, with machining costs reduced by up to 30% or better in some cases.

First Media told us this test was based on one included in a similar 2015 video, which can be viewed here. However, that video purportedly showed a magnet being used to locate and extract iron filings, not calcium, in baby food. We put that discrepancy to First Media, but they declined to clarify what their video actually showed, and also refused to say how and where they had obtained the baby food purportedly shown in the video or whether they had added anything to it before filming.

In the world of Aerospace, Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner contains 30 3D printed parts. Construction of the RAF Eurofighter Typhoon also comprises additive manufacturing, while the USAF and Israeli Air Force also claim to have used the technology.

To that end, the other potentially significant effort the Trump administration has made is a continuation of Barack Obama–era initiatives to accelerate the approval of generic drugs and increase competition among drugmakers. But there’s scant evidence yet that the approvals have had that effect. For unclear reasons, many of the generics haven’t actually gone to market.

The new techniques employ secondary processes to improve the strength, dimensional accuracy, and appearance of metal parts. Enhanced inspection reporting is also available.

A flexible system we use at Methods takes advantage of loading a common workholding platform for many different parts. The specific part is held in one of several ways – such as a vise, collet holder, or clamps – but the platform is common in how the robot will grab and how the machine will clamp by using a zero-point clamping system. The robot picks up and moves this common platform into and out of the machine. No setup is needed for the automation or machine between parts.
