How are things made? In this video I take a look at the different types of manufacturing processes - forming, casting, molding, machining, joining and additive manufacturing - which are used to create ...

The ability to produce quality products hinges on four key competencies: modeling of process form and precision levels, design tolerancing of parts and products, selecting production processes that ...

Machine learning-assisted metal additive manufacturing has been widely applied in performance optimization and control, such as process parameter optimization, structural optimization of formed parts, ...

With damage tolerance rivalling advanced engineering alloys and thermoplastic forming capabilities analogous to conventional plastics, metallic glasses are emerging as a modern engineering material.

At its core business process management is the administrative activities aimed at (1) defining a process, (2) establishing responsibilities, (3) evaluating process performance and (4) identifying ...

Supervising a manufacturing process involves attending to the individual phases of the process as well as to the flow of goods and materials through the different phases that must be coordinated to ...
