Forming sheet metal is one of the most critical processes in fabricating and manufacturing parts and components. In sheet metal forming, metals are reshaped in their solid state while they are still ...

Thanks to 3D printing, most of us are familiar with the concept of additive manufacturing, and by extension, subtractive manufacturing. But what is it when you’re neither adding material nor taking it ...

Evology is an ITAR-registered full-service contract manufacturer with 30+ years of experience using traditional and additive manufacturing to serve some of the most innovative product companies in the ...

A research team led by Kyung Mun Min and Seonghwan Choi of Materials Processing Research Division (Korea Institute of ...

Laser cutting leaves a clean edge but applies a localised heat treatment that changes the metal's strength and hardness at the cut, an effect experienced fabricators weigh carefully on fatigue-loaded ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

Sept 7 (Reuters) - U.S.-based 3D printer maker Desktop Metal Inc (DM.N), opens new tab plans to unveil as early as on Wednesday a new technology that will dramatically simplify the industrial sheet ...

If you want to form a piece of sheet metal into a shape, you’ll probably think about using a die. That’s certainly a great way to do it, but it presupposes you can create or purchase the die, which ...

Stamping sheet metal is an efficient form of manufacturing, capable of cranking hundreds or thousands of items an hour. The annoying thing is that making new stamping dies is a long, costly process.

For years, many fabricators chose to retire their turret or rail-type punch press and opted instead for a laser cutting ...
