“The work in this project will demonstrate the power of a data-driven machine learning approach for additive manufacturing process understanding and material characterization… [showcasing] hybrid modeling, whereby physics-based models and data-driven models are joined under a single framework,” says Yan Lu, senior research scientist at NIST.

Well, you see the thing that brought that along—this was forced on us. We had been making steel guitars—lap models, student instruments, a nicer deluxe instrument—and that was fine for a time. There were big guitar schools that sold all these things. Then all of a sudden rock’n'roll began to come about. Guys found out they could learn to play Spanish guitar, standard guitar. It was moving towards that more and more, and the steel guitar was becoming more and more an instrument in these country-and-western bands.

Like many fabrication shops, Albina Co. Inc. Tualatin, Ore., is the product of a humble origin. A pipe shop that started with a single employee, it grew to become a fabrication shop with expertise in a half dozen bending processes and decades of proficiency in bending essentially any form of steel. While most businesses last just a few years—many less than 12 months—this one is thriving after decades in business. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that its longevity is the outcome of a single staffing decision.

Before he was discharged, they took the tube out of our son’s nose and we saw his whole face for the first time. The smallest clothes in the baby shops were still too big, but his cheeks were no longer hollow, and there was even a slight pink tint to his skin. They gave him an ear test, weighed him one last time, and said we could take him home once I’d spent an entire night with him in the hospital. We were transferred to room three, a dormitory where we would share a rectangle of space behind yet another blue curtain. My husband was not allowed to stay; for the first time, it was just the two of us. I picked him up from the clear plastic crib they had placed by my bed, checked he was breathing, nursed him, put him back down for a minute or two, positioned him one way and another, then picked him up and started all over again. For the first time in weeks I didn’t pump in the middle of the night, and the milk soaked through my T-shirt and pooled around the waistband of my pyjamas. All night I hovered my hand over his little chest, floated my finger under his nose to feel the tiny warm gush of air that told me he was breathing. Neither of us slept.

The Oh-Penn Manufacturing Collaborative, a partnership between MVMC and a similar organization serving Lawrence and Mercer counties, found in a 2015 report that there are more than 2,800 manufacturing openings annually in the region.

When made from aluminum or ductile iron, manifolds can be subjected to a any of several surface treatments, such as anodizing and electroless nickel plating to that improve cosmetic appearance, corrosion resistance, paint adherence, or surface hardness. Because stainless steel is inherently strong and corrosion-resistant, the need for and breadth of surface treatments is relatively small.

PDP’s popular wood-hooped Concept Maple Classic line now includes a setup geared towards jazz players. The set features 8×12” and 14×14” toms with a 14×18” bass drum and is available in Natural Maple or Tobacco finishes.

This circular motion puts forces sideways into the guide rods, and these bend a bit in harmony with the rotating z-axis lead-screw.

Threads are another challenge. Winkle said there are literally hundreds of types and the tolerances are tight: “Plus 1.5 thou, minus nothing.” That’s because in oil and gas, threads don’t just hold parts together, “they have to seal perfectly and endure enormous tensile stress from the gigantic string of parts going miles deep into the hole,” said Winkle. “And they have to deal with thermal expansion and shock loading. This sealing and load-bearing component doesn’t exist in any other industry.”

Also, the 25% tariff on steel imports into the US — one of the largest exporters of scrap — has buoyed scrap prices internationally. US mills are able to pay higher prices for scrap due to high domestic steel prices.
