Both enforcement agencies and consumers increasingly are focused on manufacturers’ supplychains. Just as importantly, manufacturers will face tangible reputational risks if forced-labor issues are exposed in their supplychains. Human rights enforcement frameworks increasingly have real teeth.
The project call is also seeking innovative solutions for robotic AM process planning for continuous fiber-reinforced composite structures. This project call addresses the needs of a broad cross-section of our nation’s supplychain including the casting and forging supplychain,” stated Brandon Ribic, Ph.D.,
“We know that Central Queensland is key to the state’s economy, which is why we are acting to protect anchor manufacturers like Boyne Smelter because they support jobs and supplychains well beyond their own operations,” said Premier Steven Miles.
In the early iterations of Sentinel, most small components were made of aluminium, and many were sourced as ready-made items. This is just one of the reasons we regard our 3D printers as an important part of our supplychain,” he said. The post How Avicena re-invented the wheel appeared first on Manufacturers' Monthly.
In the early iterations of Sentinel, most small components were made of aluminium, and many were sourced as ready-made items. To overcome this problem we literally ‘reinvented the wheel’, using a composite material including a percentage of carbon fibre, producing wheels that, after months in use, show no discernible signs of wear. .
The project will create 14 jobs and position the Indigenous-owned company to grow its supplychain into defence and aerospace industries in North Queensland. This is another example of an important new project being brought to life with IPP support, creating good, secure jobs and more secure supplychains,” he said.
Markforged’s journey has been marked by groundbreaking innovations that have strengthened manufacturing resiliency, enabled industrial production at the point of need, and empowered manufacturers worldwide to create strong, accurate parts in both metal and advanced composites.

The expression “supplychain issues” is familiar to all Australians, from the manufacturer whose production line has stalled awaiting parts from an overseas supplier to the housewife walking past empty shelves in her local supermarket. This could substantially reduce the carbon footprint of the freight sector.
The additive tooling matched identical carbon fiber-reinforced composite tooling in terms of dimensional control, vacuum integrity and true position hole location, while providing improved durability. It also reduced maintenance costs, tool costs (30-40%) and tooling lead times (20-30%). Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.),

This innovative power encompasses everything from the origin and sourcing of our materials to the reuse and recycling of our tires.” But in other areas – the composition of the rubber compound, for example – these changes are not so readily visible. Our innovative power enables us to break new and even more sustainable ground.
The company is building an extraction system to filter Lithium from brine using a polymer-ceramic composite membrane, allowing the critical mineral to be extracted from salt lakes, mine tailings and other brine solutions using small amounts of solar-generated electricity and without added chemicals or water.
Luke Hawkins, general manager of Supply & Industrial Solutions, explained Capral has been considering its sustainability position as well as the market demands for lower carbon aluminium for a couple of years. We’ve been progressively looking at supplychain options and considering what we can do to best provide for industry,” he said. “We
The company offers customers software supplychain management and automation tools to manage their cloud-native development lifecycles. Nexus Lifecycle, a world-class software composition analysis tool. Nexus Firewall, a first-of-its-kind defense against malicious software supplychain attacks.

Media Release by Markforged. There is an interesting environmental spin-off here. .
To support this objective, Fastenal has entered into a scrap supply agreement with Trex Company, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-alternative composite decking, railing, and other outdoor building products made from recycled materials. and a leader in high performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products.
The idea was that we could service smaller fabrication and metal working business that may have difficulty sourcing screen products for their project work,” Oliver said as he describes some of his motivation for starting Precise Metal Products and the ARIAMESH product. We may need a high volume of a particular product.
Customers are looking to bend towards new ways of working that can overcome supplychain uncertainties and flex their operations to meet capacity and quality requirements, project by project,” noted Matt Williams, vice president of advanced fabrication markets-business development for Airgas.
4/18/24 | BLACKHAWK TEAM TULSA, OK (April 18, 2024) -BlackHawk Industrial, a market-leading distributor of metalworking and other mission-critical industrial products, continues to accelerate its expansion efforts with the announcement of two key appointments to its national SupplyChain Solutions vending operations team.
Using open-source software has several benefits, including access to the source code, cost savings, flexibility, customization, community support, and availability of cutting-edge technology. However, each of these technologies can become an attack vector that hackers can exploit to penetrate the cloud system.
For DECO LocAl Green was an obvious choice making it possible to reduce the embodied carbon in the aluminium they procure whilst maintaining their existing supplier relationship and without any additional impact on the production process or supplychain. kg CO2e/kg Al.* Both DECO and Capral are also members of ASI.
Supplychain relationships. Some of the challenges that have arisen out of increased completion include more pressure on supplychains, customer consolidation and the potential impacts of tariffs on pricing. Source: Middle Market Manufacturing: How to Thrive in a Transforming Environment (2018).
In fact, Trex Company is the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-alternative composites made from recycled materials. Their composite decking is very popular, but they make a variety of outdoor building products. Said another way, Trex relies on us to help them with their supplychain. So, what’s next?
Today molders, moldmakers and OEMs alike are turning to this layer-by-layer production technology to save time, serve new markets and even fill supplychain gaps. Mold Tooling Lead time delays for molded parts often originate from difficulties with sourcing tooling. Machines have improved and material options have widened.

However, for these materials to be viable, they must be readily available with a robust supplychain.” Cement production is a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, primarily due to the calcination process, where limestone (calcium carbonate) is heated to produce lime (calcium oxide), releasing CO2 in the process.
Suppliers continue to have capacity but work to improve lead times, due to their raw material supplychain disruptions. Operational output is still strong, and the supplychain has the capacity to support. It took some customers longer to replenish their supplychain network after the fourth-quarter rush we commonly have.
Supplychain, staffing and COVID-19 are main concerns among SI Giant system integrators. Paper-thin solar cell can turn surfaces into power source. Asphaltene turned into graphene for composites. SI Giants 2023 average system integration revenue increases. 2023 System Integrator of the Year winners. See video.
