Innovative manufacturing can be anything from intelligently using age-old technology to adapting processes to new technologies. Machining has been around since the mid-nineteenth century… even NC (which eventually became CNC) machining has been a thing since the 1940s and 50s. Workholding and tooling, as well as improved CAM-generated toolpaths and machine capabilities, have helped these…

Additive manufacturing is a process that creates solid objects from a computer-generated design. The digital model is divided into different layers and an actual product is built layer-by-layer until the final, desired output is obtained. An example of a process which uses these manufacturing principles is 3D printing, which is gaining popularity around the world.…
