With the significant increase in jet engine order backlogs and new fuel-efficiency requirements for engine designs, the production demand for high-temperature alloy parts is set to grow substantially. This is expected to put additional pressure on the supply chain and create demand for new manufacturing...
<strong> - Don Lane, CEO of Makino</strong><br />Today, the outlook for North American manufacturing is mixed. Regulatory pressures, reluctance to make capital investments, changes in the energy and currency markets, the current political climate and other global pressures can create...
The buy to fly ratio on most structural aluminum aerospace parts is typically around 80 to 90%. If 85% of the starting raw material gets turned to chips, it is easy to understand how improving metal removal rate contributes directly to your bottom line. The Next-Gen MAG3.EX can produce some parts 25%...
