Video: Reality Redesigned and Modern Machine Shop at Rapid Event
At last week’s Rapid conference and expo in Atlanta, "The Edge Factor" producer Jeremy Bout unveiled the three winners of the reality show/design contest, “Reality Redesigned.”
WatchAdditive Manufacturing Adds to Amerimold
Amerimold 2012 (June 13-14) is the trade show and conference for tool and mold making, molding AND additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is highly complementary to conventional mold-related manufacturing processes. Technical sessions on additive technologies will coincide with those focused on mold manufacturing during the 2012 conference program.

Read MoreThe Aircraft Imperative
Reduce cost, reduce weight—to the extent that additive manufacturing can do these things, it represents a promising method for making aircraft parts. While important constraints currently prevent additive manufacturing from seeing more widespread use in aircraft production, these constraints might not be what you think. Here is a look at additive manufacturing within Boeing.
