The Senior Engineering Design Team at Prairie View A&M University designed a Hub-Less Wheel utilizing 3D Printed parts provided by Tech-Labs. 3D printing enables students to rapidly prototype new designs allowing them to quickly assemble and test their new ideas.
This is the only 3D printer of its kind in the world able to create complex assemblies made of moving parts - each of which is printed in a different material.
Arc welding processes require good workmanship to produce sound welds. Poor technique such as an overly long distance between the electrode and the work piece (arc length) can make the difference between a smooth, strong weld and a defective one that is prone to failure. Learning the skill requires time, patience, and significant amounts of materials.
The MINDS-i competition program is designed to develop skills in problem solving, mechanical engineering, electronics engineering and programming. Kids and instructors participated to find new levels of passion and enthusiasm for robotics and technology based careers.
Rather than being a replacement for employees, this machined parts supplier says robotic automation has led to a doubling of the size of its staff.
FANUC offers two Certified Education training programs for high school, trade school and college students.
A team of reasearchers at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) constructed the glider of ABS plastic, comprised of only nine unique parts, each of which was 3D printed using fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology on the Stratasys Fortus 900 mc machine. This production process was deemed superior to stereo lithography or selective laser sintering because FDM allows for lower...
A program enabling high school students to earn college credit by learning manufacturing skills from area employers has been expanded into Sussex County.
The initiative is part of Pathways to Prosperity, a partnership to prepare students with skills to work in fields such as computer science, culinary arts and hospitality management, manufacturing, biomedical science and engineering.
Manufacturing is making a comeback to America. Many American companies are reporting they plan to add or bring back manufacturing jobs to the United State. What does manufacturing mean to you? Share what you think manufacturing in America means. #WeAreMFG
