DXF Transfer allows the operator to import the CAD image, select the desired features, and the WinMax CNC control automatically creates the program. The part program can be checked on the screen with Hurco’s verification graphics system, which includes 3D solid rendering of the toolpath with dynamic rotation and real-time tool display so that the part can be viewed from any angle without being forced to re-draw it.
Before New York enacted its $15 law, Governor Andrew Cuomo turned to an unusual tool to raise fast-food workers’ pay. He created a “wage board,” a Depression-era mechanism that some states used to set fair industrywide pay levels. Cuomo’s board held hearings across New York at which many fast-food workers testified they needed $15 an hour and couldn’t survive on the state’s $8.25 minimum wage. Restaurant industry executives pushed back, testifying that $15 was absurdly high. The wage board ruled that the state’s fast-food workers should receive $15 an hour, and Cuomo got the legislature to enact that recommendation. One union leader told me it resembled European-style sectoral bargaining. “It was like collective bargaining on steroids,” he said.
Reasons for the declines on the rails vary, but the pricing environment remains steady for carriers as they continue to see decent returns. On top of that, many industry players are immersed in implementing precision scheduled railroading (PSR), with an eye on operational and efficiency gains top of mind.
Its website states, “the company’s digital approach to manufacturing enables accelerated time to market, reduces development and production costs, and minimizes risk throughout the product life cycle.”

“It gives us the ability to quickly adapt to any suggestions or to any needs that we have, and create geometries that we’re not traditionally able to manufacture or machine,” Production Engineer, Brian Konkel, told 3D Printing Industry.
Transglutaminase is sometimes colloquially referred to as “meat glue,” but First Media’s video had the potential to cause unnecessary alarm or misinformation by describing it simply as “glue,” raising the specter of synthetic acrylic and epoxy glues being surreptitiously embedded in meat products.
We are told that everything begins with seed. Everything ends with it, too. As a chef I can tell you that your meal will be incalculably more delicious if I’m cooking with good ingredients. But until that afternoon I’d rarely considered how seed influences — determines, really — not only the beginning and the end of the food chain, but also every link in between.
As always, I’m grateful to the LogoLounge community of more than 20,000 designers across the world who provide much of the fodder for these reports. At the time of this report, our site stands at more than 300,000 logos strong, allowing our members and us to continue to watch trends as they develop in real time. It’s a privilege to work by their side to prop up the craft that we love.

“Rather than looking to actually develop completely new materials, today the big push within the industry involves the often-radical restructuring of existing materials,” notes Annika Borgenstam, professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
STAMPING Journal is the only industrial publication dedicated solely to serving the needs of the metal stamping market. Since 1989 the publication has been dedicated to covering the cutting-edge technologies, industry trends, best practices, and news that help stamping professionals run their businesses more efficiently.
Other presentations included John Zaya, workholding product manager, discussing workpiece stabilization and non-traditional fixturing for machining, welding and other processes. Pat Cratty, assistant product manager for tool measuring systems, shared how setting up tools outside the machine optimizes spindle time and reduces the chance of human error. Jack Burley, vice president of sales and engineering, discussed how dampened tooling systems can cure vibration and chatter, which damages machines and spindles and causes lost productivity.
Ever notice how supermarket carrots in January look identical to carrots sold in August? That’s the seeds’ software at work again: Carrots cultivated in different regions of the country, and increasingly different regions of the world, look and taste the same. What’s true of carrots is true of zucchini and onions and celery and you name it.
