AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, which represents U.S.-based providers of manufacturing technology, has elected its 2025-2026 board of directors.
Explore how AI is revolutionizing nondestructive testing (NDT), enhancing inspection accuracy and efficiency in critical industries like aerospace and energy.
Advanced ultrasonic testing solutions must keep pace with these new challenges while maintaining the rigorous quality control standards that ensure aircraft safety.
Aerospace components, varying in shape, size, and material, require specialized inspection methods to ensure quality and safety due to the diverse manufacturing processes involved. Automated Ultrasonic Testing (UT) systems enhance efficiency and defect detection, but effective scanner control, inspection planning, and results analysis are essential to maximize their benefits.
We need accountability and oversight in each state to monitor, investigate, and incentivize companies to hire back American workers and boost this economy.
The American job market is in crisis, especially for white-collar and STEM workers. To address issues like fake job postings and inadequate protections, legislative action is essential. Proposed solutions include better oversight and incentives for companies to hire American workers, aiming to revitalize the workforce and economy.
As global temperatures rise, the national security implications are significant for the Department of Defense. With extreme weather events costing over $2 trillion in the past decade, the U.S. Military views climate change as a pressing issue. By utilizing the 5-Teams (5T) Model, it aims to address climate risks and turn challenges into opportunities, ensuring the nation’s security remains resilient.
Last year, I wrote several articles exploring Quality 4.0. During my journey, I encountered various approaches that contributed to understanding quality in the context of digital transformation and organizational excellence. This article summarizes my previous findings and new insights on this evolving topic.
The L.S. Starrett Co. has appointed four new executives to its global organization, further strengthening its corporate management at the highest levels.
XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) and LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) are key nondestructive testing methods. XRF identifies elemental composition, while LIBS measures lighter elements like carbon.
