No matter which industry you’re in, from aerospace and medtech to high-tech and space exploration, the pressure to bring your innovation to market the fastest is red hot. Entering a new market time- and cost-efficiently often puts you at a competitive advantage and helps seed your position as an industry leader, making speed a chief […]
5 Cost- & Time-Saving Benefits of Manufacturing Engineering Consulting
Your design team has put the finishing touches on your aerospace, medical, defense, or high-tech component, and you’ve received the green light to initiate the component manufacturing process. But before you dive into production, manufacturing engineering consulting is critical for optimizing the design and assembly of your centerless grinding or precision machining project. In this […]
What to Know Before Starting a Guidewire Grinding Project
Guidewire grinding is a specialized process for achieving extremely small diameters and intricate configurations for life-saving devices. The process requires incredible knowledge and skill to ensure part accuracy and cost-effectiveness. With both lives and profits on the line, guidewire grinding can often be a high-stakes project management endeavor. If you’re overseeing a high-stakes guidewire […]
Advantages & Applications of 13-Axis Swiss Screw Machining
Swiss screw machining elevates the precision component manufacturing process with up to 13 axes, allowing endless possibilities. Using Swiss-type lathes with a turning center, Swiss screw machining first emerged in the Swiss watchmaking industry in the late nineteenth century. Later, Swiss screw machines evolved to become sophisticated enough to produce complex, high-precision components for today’s […]
5 Types of Metrology Inspection Equipment for Maximum Accuracy & Precision
As we in the manufacturing sphere all know, accuracy describes how closely a part conforms to a tolerance within a specified dimensional range. The closer a part conforms to your standards, the better your results. Ultra-precision component manufacturing levels up the notion of accuracy with the ability to hold diameter size, roundness, and cylindricity to […]
Why DFM is Critical for Manufacturing Accurate and Cost-Effective Components
We jumped at the chance to machine ultra-precision components for a brand-new transcranial doppler (TCD) technology that reveals cerebral blood flow data in real-time. We knew it could change the game for patients and providers when diagnosing, surveying, and monitoring stroke and other blood flow disorders. In discussing the project with our high-tech medical equipment […]
How a Single-Source Space Manufacturer Can Streamline Your Supply Chain
As space exploration evolves, components have become increasingly complex. As a result, some companies choose to manage multiple manufacturing vendors with varying specialties to stay competitive. However, this practice can lead to hidden costs that compromise the success of your project. In this article, we’ll outline three of these unintended consequences and explain how a […]
Going Deeper into Space Depends on Pushing What’s Possible in Manufacturing
Beginning with the first artificial satellite in 1957, space exploration has long been important to humankind. The desire to go deeper into space has only grown with the emergence of NewSpace, the global industry of innovative aerospace companies developing commercial spaceflight technologies allowing civilians access to space. With the incredible advances over the last six […]
