Editors Corner “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” -Joseph Campbell Summer is here, and this month we’re all celebrating the 4th of July, and this means a nice long weekend with family and friends.

As per tradition, we celebrate with fireworks, outdoor cooking and barbecues, carnivals, fairs, parades and other public festivities. Due to the patriotic nature of the holiday, it often involves red, white, and blue, as well as tributes to our American troops.

Our 4th of July national holiday is also known as Independence Day, and it commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which solidified the American colonies’ resolution to fight for their independence from Britain.

On this day, we should recognize that Americans fought hard, and far too many died, to gain these rights for us and that we have men and women fighting even now, to keep these rights secured.

Our 4th of July also gives us opportunity to reflect on the country we live in, and why it is (despite some current political issues) still a great country to be part of.

What, exactly, do people believe makes America great? It depends who you ask—and, in light of Independence Day, a study from Barna did just that. Here’s what U.S. adults say about why they take pride in being an American.

The main thing Americans love most about their homeland is the opportunity to live the “American Dream.” Almost one quarter (24%) chose “the opportunity to become who you want to be / ‘the American dream,’” followed by four pillars of the American political apparatus: the Constitution (21%), free speech and a free press (21%), freedom of religion (20%) and democracy (20%). Other factors cited include our military strength, the beauty and variety of our geography, economic stability, our industrious/entrepreneurial spirit, and our technology and innovation.

Speaking of the ‘American Dream’, in our manufacturing industry, the most significant issue shop owners and managers face today is finding and retaining qualified employees.

If you haven’t tapped into Veterans for your future hires, you may want to do so. It’s not just a good thing to do for those who have served our country, but also the US Government is providing incentives to do so. Veterans are disciplined team players that can strengthen your company goals and success. Their skills, values and extensive training can enhance your organization’s productivity. Because of what they have seen and done (and the unprecedented multiple deployments), there can be challenges you will want to help your hired Veteran to overcome. In these cases, it may not be easy, but in the end it can be so beneficial.

Businesses that hire eligible unemployed veterans can take advantage of a Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC). (This credit is also available to certain tax-exempt organizations.) After recent changes, The Returning Heroes Tax Credit now provides incentives of up to $5,600 for hiring unemployed veterans, and the Wounded Warriors Tax Credit doubles the existing Work Opportunity Tax Credit for long-term unemployed veterans with service-connected disabilities, to up to $9,600.

Until next issue, I wish you continued success, and to our men and women in uniform, past, present, and future, God bless you and thank you.

Perfection Industrial Finishing (PIF) is Pleased To Announce Its Latest Certification — NADCAP Accreditation for Chemical Processing Perfection Industrial Finishing (PIF), a leading metal finishing company in Arizona, is pleased to announce that it successfully received NADCAP accreditation for chemical processing.

A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

6 • July / August

2019

Local and national manufacturing businesses in the defense, aerospace, industrial and commercial fields have come to rely on the high quality metal finishing services that PIF has provided for more than 20 years.

The company’s founder, Chuck Zinke, developed the concept from his long time passion – cars. Chuck began rebuilding cars and trucks in his spare time as a teenager, and initially used the services of the only powder coating company in Tucson. As his hobby grew, he began to look at ways of improving the quality of painted parts as well as reducing the overall cost and time for delivery. He decided to try it himself, and by 1991 his garage became his first paint shop – run in his spare time, but taking on work for others after word quickly spread. A few months later, with the help of his wife Peggy, he turned his hobby into a full time career and established himself as a recognized supplier of painting excellence.

Since those humble beginnings a number of other services have been added to the original powder coat capability, including conventional (wet) paint, chemical processing (such as anodizing and conversion coatings), sandblasting and more.

For more infor mation on PIF’s capabilities, contact them at 520434-9090 or visit their website: www. perfectionindustrialfinishing.com

He joined the National Tool and Machining Association and founded the Arizona chapter. In 2004 he accepted the position of President for the NTMA. He remained involved with this group well past retirement.

Not only was Dan an entrepreneur he was an active family man who loved to explore and play games such as bowling, tennis, skiing, golfing, cards and chess. He never missed an opportunity to take his family on a weekend road trip to explore the Wild West. It was in the 1970’s that he bought his first boat and taught all of his kids how to water ski. This was just the beginning of Captain Dan’s boating adventures…from day trips to the local lakes to weeks at Lake Powell and numerous excursions down the Sea of Cortez, he loved being on the water. Eventually Dan would acquire his Captains License and fall in love with sailing. He sailed the open seas off the shores of San Diego and did numerous family trips throughout the Caribbean. All of this sailing experience earned him the title of Admiral amongst his family. The Admiral loved all types of water play…even the frozen kind. He learned how to snow ski at age 40 and thus began annual family ski trips. Other annual family gatherings included Fourth of July’s in Prescott and Memorial weekends in Mexico.

He was the type of Father who always wanted to spend time with his children and grandchildren while sharing his wisdom with good old fashioned sound advice. He was always there to listen to our struggles and assure us that all would be well, that it was simply a character builder.

of horsepower ratings and speeds. As a cost-effective option for its customers, the expanded department will keep upwards of 1,000 rebuilt spindles in stock and ready for exchange, particularly those found in Mazak’s most popular machine models.

To guarantee that all original spindle specifications are met or exceeded, experienced factory-trained technicians use only genuine Mazak replacement parts to rebuild Mazak spindles. These experienced technicians perform every stage of the repair and rebuild process, provide complete trackable spindle documentation and conduct stringent testing of every spindle, all within the short turnaround time.

The expansion will not only make room for additional technicians, but will also allow the department to boost its rebuild output to 100 spindles per month.

“Mazak’s Spindle Rebuild Department leverages over 30 years of spindle build expertise to offer the industry’s best spindle warranty,” said Matt Whissel, spindle repair manager for the Mazak Spindle Rebuild Department. “We understand our customers don’t have time to wait, and Mazak is truly committed to doing whatever we can to support these customers. And with our new facility, we have the capacity to return repaired spindles in three to five days and ship remanufactured spindles in less than 24 hours.”

Athena 3D Manufacturing Hosts Grand Opening For Its Customers

Memo says, “I have been investigating 3D technology in manufacturing for the past couple of years. Once I found a viable 3D print technology that would scale economically and meet engineering’s design requirements, I purchased the best technology for the business.�

He elaborated, “I have been researching 3D print technology for the past 1.5 years. HP in particular, came up with a technology to design a part that is economical and meets design requirements.�

HP Multi Jet Fusion is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces highly accurate and durable parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping.

Athena 3D Manufacturing recently hosted an Open House to welcome its new customers to the business.

While the company is very young, owner Memo Romero has more than a decade of experience in launching start-up companies, and a very strong mechanical engineering background.

Since the process uses well-established 2D printing ink jetting, it has remarkably fast layer times compared to other powder bed fusion technologies.

Memo is a Mechanical Engineer by education, having received his Bachelors from MIT and his Masters from Stanford University. After supporting R&D efforts for Motorola Semiconductor, and subsequently supporting customers as a consultant, Memo went to work for a Bay Area start-up. When the entity was acquired by Parker Hannifin, Memo came back to Arizona and started up his own company, called MaxQ Technology. He sold this company and today retains minority ownership.

Reducing the torque reaction during fastening doesn’t have to be complicated. The QX Series ETS offers four tightening modes to simplify the process. In addition to standard direct drive mode, each tool configuration can be independently programmed to utilize one of the three available single-parameter ETS modes, simplifying setup:

Ingersoll Rand® QX Series™ Ergonomic Tightening System (ETS) Ingersoll Rand® has released the QX Series™ Ergonomic Tightening System (ETS).The ETS delivers short pulses of energy into the fastener during tightening, so the operator safely retains control of the tool. The ergonomically enhanced motor control algorithm minimizes the average force experienced by the operator, protecting workers from injury.The Ergonomic Tightening System is available on the QX Series cordless fastening tools in pistol and right angle configurations that range from 1.6 to 80 Newton meters of torque.

Manufacturers in motor vehicle, agricultural, heavy equipment, and general industries use Ingersoll Rand QX Series tools for the precise torque control and traceable results. Workers no longer have to manipulate the fastening tool and a stationary reaction device. ETS tools increase mobility A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Raytheon In Tucson Wins Multimillion-Dollar Missile Upgrade Contract

This missile is used on a variety of Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps aircraft, including the EA-6B, F-16 and F/A-18.

Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson has received a $355.5 million military contract to refurbish and provide technology upgrades for as many as 1,000 missiles.

Raytheon’s HARM upgrades include adding a GPS receiver and an improved inertial measurement unit for precision navigation. It also includes adding a digital flight computer that merges targeting solutions from navigation and seeker systems, according to Raytheon.

The missiles will be sold to foreign allies, including Qatar, Taiwan and Bahrain.

The AGM-88B High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile, or HARM, is a joint U.S. Navy and Air Force program developed by the Navy and Raytheon in the mid-1980s. As the original manufacturer, Raytheon has produced thousands of these missiles over the years, said Steve Dickman, Raytheon’s program director for HARM. This contract — one of six awarded to Raytheon’s Tucson facilities in May — is focused on improving the capability and refurbishing the unused Air Force missiles for the international customer, Dickman said.

“This is what we call a tip-to-tail refurbishment of the missile,” he said. “We will replace parts and fully test it before it’s put in the hands of U.S. allies. We are making HARM available to more users.”

HARM’s primary mission is to suppress or destroy surface-to-air missile radar and radar-directed air defense artillery systems, according to Raytheon.

Hardware and software upgrades have allowed the missile to counter advanced radar threats.

A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

24 • July / August

These enhancements improve the probability of a hit, while controlling where the missile can and can’t fly.

While some initial work on the missiles will be done in Pennsylvania, the refurbishment and upgrades will be done in Tucson, said Dewey Holmes, Raytheon’s senior manager for business development.

“This is the first time we’ve refurbished these missiles,” Holmes said. “This is an ongoing contract with the potential to sell to additional allies in the future.”

Raytheon will be using 40 to 50 19 •about DEC - JAN ‘18 & ‘19

existing employees for the project, which is expected to be complete by 2027.

Raytheon is taking advantage of a U.S. government program called Replacement Exchange In-Kind.

Because U.S. assets are being used to sell to international customers, which is the exchange portion, when the missiles are sold a portion of that contract is returned to the Air Force, Dickman said.

“This is a good opportunity for Raytheon, and something that’s been in the works for a long time,” he said. “This capability pays back the U.S. Air Force and doesn’t have to use taxpayer dollars.

Rather, we’re refurbishing with international dollars. The Air Force gets the capability upgrade without budgeting additional funds.”

Study Ranks Arizona Economy Among Best In US A new study finds Arizona’s economy is ranked among the 20 best in the U.S. — and is listed ahead of one of its chief rivals for attracting relocating companies.

Personal finance website WalletHub published a new study that ranks the economies of each U.S. state and the District of Columbia. Arizona ranked No. 11, just ahead of Texas (No. 12) and just behind North Carolina (No. 10), according to WalletHub. To compile its latest ranking, WalletHub compared each state and Washington, D.C., across 28 economic performance and strength indicators. Data ranged from growth in gross domestic product to startup activity and share of jobs in high-tech industries.

Washington state, home to such tech giants as Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc., topped the list, followed by Utah (No. 2) and Massachusetts (No. 3).The rest of the top 10 states are scattered across the country, though a majority (six of 10) are in the western half of the U.S. That includes the likes of California (No. 4), Colorado (No. 5) as well as Idaho (No. 7), Oregon (No. 8) and New Hampshire (No. 9).

Arizona’s economy has been humming along for the past several years, as the state experiences continued population growth and new jobs. The state has added nearly 300,000 jobs since 2015. Last year, Arizona posted the fourth-best GDP growth in the country, and more people are moving to Maricopa County (home to the Phoenix metropolitan area) and the city of Phoenix than anywhere else in the nation.

The fact that Arizona was ranked ahead ofTexas would be news to the ears of economic development officials in theValley and the state.Texas is often cited as one of Arizona’s main competitors in landing corporate relocations because of its business-friendly policies and lack of a personal income tax.

CDA Launches New Machine Tool Payback Calculator Copper Development Association Inc. (CDA) has launched its Machine Tool Payback Calculator, a tool designed to help manufacturers realize the greater profitability and throughput they can achieve with brass on modern machine tools. The calculator enables shops to input their individual production, material and equipment data to assess the impact of new technology on their bottom lines. This allows manufacturers to discover how to leverage the high-end capabilities of advanced machine tools together with the high-speed machining capabilities of brass to improve productivity and profitability.

Due to the increasingly competitive market for manufacturing, shop owners frequently need to upgrade equipment, but justifying the cost of new machine tools can be difficult.

CDA’s new calculator eliminates some of the guesswork and demonstrates that increasing machine throughput has a far greater impact on profitability than reducing factors such as machine purchase price, raw material costs or utility costs.

The calculator, located at www.highspeedmachiningbrass. com/profit, features fields for the key input variables for manufacturers’ profits and payback, including percentage of scrap produced per part, the costs of materials and tools, the total price of machine tool ownership and the impact of labor costs in percentage of time operators spend on a given part.

Magnum Precision Machines Is Celebrating 35 Years In Business

Here in the valley, how many machine tool dealers do you know that meet the following: 1.

2.

3.

They sell both fabrication and machine (chip) tool lines They sell and service machines both in the US and in Mexico They have a showroom and staff in 3 states

‘Uncopyable’. That is the title of the book written by author Steve Miller. It is used in marketing terms to describe how, to be highly successful, business owners must come up with a strategy that differentiates their company from any of their competitors. Steve spoke at a conference I attended recently, and his presentation focused on ‘how to create an unfair advantage over your competition’.

Chris Edgar, owner of Magnum Precision Machines, has done just that. The company didn’t start out as a new entity with the 3 differentiators listed above, but over the years has continued to expand, with each expansion further setting them apart from their competitors.

Magnum Precision Machines was founded by Chris’ father, Richard (Rick) Edgar, a Journeyman machinist. After years in the machining industry, he transitioned to sales of cutting tools, where he and his family were moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The cutting tool distributor also carried Mazak engine lathes, and Rick was the #1 sales person for the company. When it closed its doors, Mazak offered Rick the opportunity to become the distributor for Mazak in New Mexico.

And so Magnum Precision Machines was born in 1984.

This year, the company is celebrating 35 years in business! In an era of consolidation and machine tool builders changing out their distribution channels, Magnum has thrived by its stability, expansion and differentiation. Its customers include nearly every Fortune 500 aerospace and defense company, as well as a number of universities, and government entities (Los Alamos and Sandia Labs, The US Air Force), to name a few. Chris says, “We touch every industry with our customers, from oil and gas, semiconductor, automotive, aerospace, medical, and even jewelry.” He continued, “Our customers range from a small ‘Mom and Pop’ weld shops to fully automated factories.”

Today, Magnum Precision Machines sells some of the best caliber CNC machines you can purchase in their Mazak line. But they also carry machines for fabrication, for inspection and even machine tool consumable lubricants. 2nd generation owner Chris Edgar, says, “Mazak is our flagship product, and we are so much more.”

The company offers the Hydmech line, which offers a wide range of sawing machines, from small manual mitering saws to large dual column horizontal and vertical band saws. Chris says the Hydmech lines are invaluable to his customers, because every precision manufacturing company, whether they are a fabrication or traditional CNC machine shop, needs a saw.

Romi Machine Tools designs and manufactures machine tools for turning

operations. Chris says, “Romi has a very nice combination manual/CNC lathe, and Romi products are ideal for shops that are doing low volume production, tooling, and prototype.”

Star CNC offers a broad range of Swiss-type Automatic lathes to meet all your small, complex and precise metal components machining requirements.

While Kent Industrial USA is best known for its surface grinders, today the company manufactures and stocks a wide range of surface grinders, manual milling machines, CNC knee mills and EDM machines.

Almco manufactures a variety of deburring and metal finishing

systems, from the simplest barrel-finishing unit to the most complex and automated high-energy systems. Their products include: vibratory deburring bowls, vibratory deburring tubs, spindle finishing machines and ultrasonic and aqueous part cleaners.

Okamoto offers a full machine lineup covering all grinding demands, including surface grinders, form grinders, cylindrical grinders, internal grinders and rotary grinders.

Baykal offers high quality-high performance press brakes and hydraulic shears.

Wenzel America is a leading CMM manufacturer, with products

including: 3D metrology products (Bridge, Gantry, and Horizontal Arm CMM systems). They additionally offer high-speed optical scanning products.

Blaser manufactures cutting and grinding oils as well as a wide range of water-soluble coolants.

And then there is Mazak, Magnum’s flagship product offering.

Chris says, “We are one of the oldest Mazak distributors in the United States, and it is the product that launched Magnum Precision Machines 35 years ago.” He added, “Mazak embraces technology, and they manufacture a machine tool line that is easy to use. Our customers love that they can program in g-code as well as utilize the conversational aspects of the control.With over 400 different machine models we can support a small job shop as well as a fortune 500 company. Not only do they have a superior 5 axis machine tool line (the multi-tasking Integrex is one of the most popular and advanced machines in the market today) but they also introduced an ‘Additive/Subtractive’ machine to the industry.”

Mazak is unique in its support model, Chris says. When you purchase a Mazak machine, you not only get the dealer’s service organization, you also get regional Mazak support through the Mazak Factory Service Technicians.

For many of the lines Magnum Precision Machines carries, the company can sell and support their customers throughout Arizona and New Mexico, and in El Paso, Texas. Some of the machines they sell into their 3 state territories are transported across the border into Mexico, and Magnum Precision is unique in its ability to service and support these machines.

“Service is an integral component to our machine sales package”, Chris says, “and I believe you must have local presence and a showroom to support your customers.

Today there are dealers who cover New Mexico as part of their territory, but we are the only dealer with a showroom and local team to support these customers.”

equal number (33 percent) plans to increase both this year.

• Despite growth, there are concerns.

Fifty percent of suppliers agreed that the availability of materials is an issue, with 44 percent citing tariffs as a stumbling block. On the buyer side, tariffs and shipping costs (i.e., logistics) were key areas affecting their supply chain strategies, both coming in at around 42 percent.

Interestingly, tariffs weren’t indicated o n t h e l ast MF GWat c h s ur vey published just three years earlier. The growing gap in skilled workers was also a key concern.

• Companies are sourcing in the United States. Almost 90 percent of buyers and sourcing professionals cited the United States as their company’s primary sourcing destination for manufacturing their products. However, of those that are sourcing overseas, 79 percent have made no change to bring production back to North America from lowercost countries.

Other signs of prosperity Sixty-five percent of responding supplier companies said they received more work in 2018 than in the previous year—a huge jump from the MFGWatch 2016 results of 40 percent.

Additionally, over 50 percent said their available capacity increased in 2018 while over one-third (37 percent) said it stayed the same year over year.

1/3 page square - 5 3/8 x 5 3/8" MFGWatch 2019 compares its data to the previous MFGWatch report which was published in 2016.

“The 2019 MFGWatch Manufacturing Report provides unprecedented insight into the state of manufacturing today,” said Ronald L. Hollis, Ph.D., president and CEO of MFG. “The report sheds light on the trends and key issues that emerged in 2018 and also predicts what’s ahead for manufacturers this year. Based on our data analysis, it’s our belief that 2019 will be a promising year for manufacturing and that business will continue to be strong along with the rest of the U.S. economy. There were some surprises in the survey findings, however, as well some rising challenges that may slow progress.”

Among the MFGWatch 2019 highlights: • Business is growing. Suppliers plan to increase staff in 2019 to keep up with demand, with more than 44 percent saying they will invest in their workforce and acquire new technology. While 34 percent of buyers will focus more on technology infrastructure and not the workforce, an almost A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

in 2018 while 38 percent kept the same number of suppliers year over year.

Although survey respondents came from a fairly even mix of industries, on the supplier side, consumer products and machinery tools & equipment were the largest represented groups, each at 31 percent. It was a similar situation on the buyer side, with 30 percent of respondents identifying themselves as being in the consumer products industry. Machinery tools & equipment came in third at 24 percent, just behind the general “other” industry category at 26 percent.

The vast majority of respondents are also considered small businesses, employing between two and 50 employees. Just under 6 percent of responding suppliers and 14 percent of buyers employ more than 500 people.

Northrop Grumman Plans ABQ Expansion Military contractor Northrop Grumman told the Journal it plans to open a new Albuquerquearea facility and will expand its workforce here.

The company said it is not yet clear how many new jobs will be created by the expansion.

Leticia Ebb, a spokeswoman for Northrop Grumman, said the decision was based in part

on the company’s continued focus on the aerospace industry and the recent $9.2 billion acquisition of defense contractor Orbital ATK. “Our growth in Albuquerque is also a testament to innovative work being accomplished at the Air Force Research Lab, the Space Rapid Capabilities Office, and the Space and Missile System’s Advanced Systems and Development Directorate,” Ebb said in an email. “We are looking forward to supporting these Air Force efforts, as well as transitioning their groundbreaking work to industry.”

The news comes on the heels of an aerospace employment loss in the Albuquerque area.

In November, Honeywell Aerospace told employees at its 500,000-square-foot plant that all Albuquerque-based aerospace work would be relocated to Honeywell sites in Arizona, Florida and Puerto Rico over the next year.

The company did not say how many local workers would be affected, or how many would be offered jobs at other Honeywell sites, but it appeared hundreds of individuals could be impacted. By Marie C. Baca / Journal Staff Writer A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

backers including Sequoia Capital and Amazon.com Inc. The deal adds another major automaker to Aurora’s growing stable of industry partners, which include Hyundai Motor Co. and Volkswagen AG. Fiat Chrysler already has an agreement to supply Waymo, the self-driving unit of Alphabet Inc, with more than 62,000 Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid minivans to create autonomous vehicles that could eventually be sold to the public. Waymo is taking over an idled facility in Detroit to equip the vehicles with self-driving software and should begin doing so the middle of this year, the company has said.

The Italian-American carmaker also joined a self-driving technology consortium led by BMW AG in 2017.

Why Have Global Chemical Giants Jumped into 3D Printing Industry?

Fiat Teams Up with Silicon Valley on Self-Driving Tech Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV is partnering with Silicon Valley startup Aurora Innovation Inc. to develop and deploy a fleet of self-driving commercial vehicles in a bid to catch up with other automakers that have invested heavily in the technology.

The two companies signed an agreement to integrate Aurora’s self-driving platform into Fiat Chrysler’s commercial vehicle lines in the U.S.They didn’t disclose the dollar value of the agreement, specify the number of vehicles to be deployed or say by when.

The announcement comes less than a week after the automaker’s talks to merge with Renault SA of France collapsed, raising questions about its ability to compete as a standalone company in an industry spending billions of dollars on future technologies.

In Aurora, Fiat Chrysler has a partner whose three co-founders are considered to be among the leading lights of the push to make self-driving cars a reality. The startup raised over half a billion dollars in February from A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

There has been worldwide growth in the 3D printing industry since former US President Barack Obama addressed the importance of 3D printing, calling for industry growth in the United States in 2013. According to Wohlers Report and a McKinsey Report, we have witnessed annual growth rate of 25% and can expect an overall business impact of USD 100 billion by 2025.

In South Korea, hundreds of SMEs have entered 3D printing or the 3D printing service industry and this has become one of the key technologies in the fourth industrial revolution. Six years from now, how has the Asian region, especially, South Korea’s situation changed?

As with all new technologies, the 3D printing industry in South Korea has also undergone ups and downs. The ‘Maker Movement’, which originated

from the United States, did not grow in major Asian countries such as China, Korea and Japan due to cultural differences. Even though industrial demand for aerospace, automotive, medical, dental and jewelry has exploded in Asian region, many domestic 3D printer manufacturers, especially of desktop FDM printers, have closed down due to insufficient demand.

Then, how did global corporations react to the 3D Printing revolution?

In short, multinational chemical giants chose 3D printing materials instead of hardware or software, pursuing partnerships with global equipment manufacturers and software companies to co-provide one-stop solutions.

One example, BASF, one of the world’s largest chemical companies, entered the 3D printing materials industry through its subsidiary in September 2017. In 2018, BASF acquired Advanc3D Materials, Setup Performance, and Dutch filament manufacturing company Innofil3D, which are major materials companies. BASF also partnered with global 3D printing companies such as EOS and Materialise pioneering various sales channels.

Henkel, a German chemical and consumer goods company with 143 years of history, has also entered the 3D printing materials business. Henkel does have 3D printer products (Loctite) developed in-house, but Henkel’s main fields are various industrial resin materials, post-processing, and adhesives. Henkel also seeks synergies through collaboration with major manufacturers such as Carbon and HP. American multinational chemical corporation, Dow Chemical, has developed the world’s first liquid silicone rubber material for 3D printing. Dow offers new possibilities for the 3D printing industry by combining the advantages of silicon materials such as heat resistance, cold resistance, UV resistance, elastic restoration with the shape properties of rubber materials. Dow also partners with Germany’s

German RepRap to expand into various manufacturing fields.

Royal DSM with a history of more than 25 years in additive manufacturing also entered 3D printing material market. DSM has developed polymer resins and industrial filaments that can be used for various 3D printing methods such as FDM, SLA, DLP, etc., and is targeting global markets through partnerships with global equipment manufacturers and platform companies such as Ultimaker and Origin. Additionally, Solvay, Arkema, Sabic and Evonik have also invested in entering the 3D printing market.

GE Additive, one of the world’s largest suppliers of metal 3D printing equipment and services, employs, currently, more than 1,000 scientists and engineers working on metal materials. GE Additive offers a full range of metal powder, 3D printing equipment and support services including various metal materials as titanium, cobalt, nickel, and copper. GE is taking full advantage of this technology to build aircraft and expects to save $3 billion to $5 billion in manufacturing costs over the next decade.

More stories?You can meet all the above mentioned global industry experts at Inside 3D Printing Seoul taking place on June 26-28 at KINTEX (Seoul), South Korea. Inside 3D printing Seoul is Asia’s premier additive technology event with 10,000 visitors, 100 exhibitors and 40 world-class speakers from 28 countries.

In addition, most AM parts require post-build machining operations, and incorporating those requirements during the conceptual design can minimize the design iterations.

The answer is to develop an endto-end tool chain that covers the entire AM value stream: from part design, build orientation and processspecific constraints, to considerations for powder removal and post-build manufacturing operations such as milling.

C h a l l e n g e # 3 : Tr a i n i n g f o r Engineers Additive manufactur ing is still maturing, and it’s creating unique HR challenges as companies look to bring in fresh talent and retrain their existing engineering workforce.

While younger engineers entering the field may have used 3D printing tools in a school setting, more experienced eng ineer s who are accustomed to working within conventional manufacturing constraints will need additional training to open them up to the possibilities of additive manufacturing. This challenge is amplified if 20,000-30,000 engineers need retraining, and companies will need to find ways to integrate this education with standard, day-to-day work.

The industry recognizes this issue broadly, and there are a number of third parties offering AM training courses and certificate programs for working engineers. In academia, universities like MIT, Penn State, and Purdue University are thinking about this challenge and offering additive certification programs, but it’s still early days. While you can’t get a 4-year engineering degree in AM right now, I expect we’ll see minors and interdisciplinary B.S. programs in AM in the earlier half of the next decade.

2. Performance Mode: With Medium energy pulse, is the best all-purpose mode

3. Productivity Mode: With the highest energy pulses, is the fastest mode. Ideal for soft joints or when high production rates are required

At United Technologies Corp., we’re tackling this challenge by introducing a new internal training program called the Additive Experience, or AddEx, which offers our engineers the opportunity to participate in practical hands-on demonstrations and lectures on additive manufacturing during a two day-long program.

We’ve found that with this particular technology, hands-on experiences like AddEx are the best way to drive a culture of understanding and change within UTC’s Engineering and Operations functions.

This program is helping us move beyond current limited design approaches to the full possibilities of additive manufacturing—envisioning parts that cannot be built in a conventional manner.

How We’ll Get There: Collaboration While these three challenges may seem daunting, I believe the future of additive manufacturing innovation is bright. If we are going to unlock its promise at scale, we’ll need to work together as an industry to share our lessons learned and develop best practices.Venkat Vedula is executive director, Additive Manufacturing Center of Expertise, at United Technologies Corp.

Precision Machining, Welding & Fabrication Services

he would teach him how to run a mill, Mike thought Bob was referring to a big drum with teeth that was used to tear up old asphalt! “I fell in love with machining the first time Bob introduced me to a 3 axis mill”, Mike says.

Pure-Logic was such a good learning experience for Mike and Mat, and they believed they would make their entire career at the company. “But we came from a family of entrepreneurs, and Mat and I both wanted to build a company for ourselves, one that would always stand 100% behind our quality and dedication to our customers.”

Co-owners Mike and Mat Kelley launched their precision machining and fabrication business, called KB Precision (aka Kelley Brothers Precision) 8 years ago, in 2011.

The two are not just siblings; they are identical twins. Many researchers say that telepathy (communication of thoughts or ideas by means other than the known senses) can occur when there is a strong bond between the sender and the receiver, as with mothers and babies, dogs and their owners – and that the strongest bond of all is with twins, particularly identical twins.

And so, at the age of 23, the twins opened KB Precision. They launched the business with one mill and a few welders, in a small section of a friend’s machine shop.

That strong bond can be a very good formula for a solid partnership. In the case of Mike and Mat, the twin partnership works very well in their personal and professional life, and it is made even stronger by their complimentary skills and passions – Mike is gifted in CNC machining / programming and Mat’s gift is in fabrication / welding.

8 months later, the Kelley’s moved the business into a shop of their own. Mike says, “We believed our ability to provide more for our customers, in offering both precision machining and fabrication, would help us to be a more compelling solution for our customers.”

The two brothers grew up in Prescott Valley, and both their mother and father were entrepreneurs. Mike says, “Between the 2, they owned 5 businesses.” In their high school years, Mat and Mike learned welding and fabrication from their father.

In the early years, business could best be described as a ‘roller coaster’, Mike says, and to get through the ups and downs, the two even shared a domicile. Though the two partners were gifted in their crafts, they didn’t have much experience running a business. They were generous in the terms they offered their customers, and in more than one instance, they had to write off business when their customer went bankrupt. “We are much more disciplined in managing our cash flow today”, Mike says.

After high school, the two separated when Mat went off to college at the University of Arizona and Mike went to work at the largest open mine pit in the nation – the Morenci Copper Mine, where he worked more than 80 hours per week welding and fabricating to refurbish the mine.

Mat didn’t stay at the University for long. After a year, he joined his brother at the Mine, and on weekends when they were off, the twins drove the long 5 hours back to visit their family. When Mike broke his arm and couldn’t work at the mine, he quit his job. Mat followed shortly after.

The two each did their own thing for a time, but then wound up together working at Pure-Logic, a Gilbert-based precision machine and fabrication business.The two worked there for years, and Mike says, “We received some of the best mentoring from owner Mike Hughes and General Manager Bob Jurgens. In fact, when Bob first introduced me to the machining side of the business, he would come in on weekends and evenings to teach me.” Mike laughs that when Bob first told him that A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Several years ago, Mike met Adam Haschke while trying to secure business from a new customer. Mike says, “When we secured work from the customer, we were always calling Adam asking questions about the particulars of a new job. Finally, Adam got tired of this, and came to help us on evenings and weekends.”

Adam left his job and went to work for a large aerospace company in Tucson, and he continued to help the Kelley brothers on evenings and weekends.

Finally, a couple of years ago, business at KB Precision was solid enough for Adam to join the team on a full time basis. Adam isn’t

just another great employee for KB Precision, either. He is a Journeyman Tool and Die Maker, having learned the trade back in Michigan.

Mike says, “A few years ago, business warranted us to upgrade our CNC machines with some new machine tools.

I wasn’t a big fan of the Haas machines; I felt that they wouldn’t be robust enough for the work we were doing.”

He continued, “Adam is a highly skilled machinist, and over the past 2 decades plus in his career, he has machined on many different builders’ machines. He knows machines.”

machine for the money.”

Adam says, “I felt the Haas machines were our best choice.

To appease Mike, I brought in several different machine tool dealers. In the end, the Haas won out – it was the best

In 2017 KB Precision took possession of the first Haas machine, a VF-1 CNCVertical Mill. Mike says, “I thought we would lose torque and rigidity in the Haas machine versus our older high end machines.” He continued, “Our new Haas VF-1 ran circles around the older machines: it was cutting conventional 2D cuts in steel, and doing it fast! I knew that if the Haas VF-1 was this fast, just think what the HaasVF-4SS machines would do for us!” He adds, “We are G code people, so we really like the Haas controls.

It helps that everyone who comes out of school knows how to machine on the Haas.”

Later in 2017, KB Precision purchased their first Haas VF-4SS SuperSpeed Vertical Machining Center. Mike says, “We were running 2 shifts, a weekend crew and we were just so busy that we decided to purchase our 2nd VF-4SS as the year was closing out (to take advantage of the Section 179 Tax Code). This was our first experience with Alex Anderson, our Ellison Machinery Sales Engineer.”

The KB team contacted Alex right before Christmas, and Alex had a Haas VF-4SS on their showroom floor that matched their requirements. Adam says, “Alex brought the paperwork to us in Apache Junction that same day, and our machine was installed on the last day of 2017, December 31st.”

He added, “Alex went so far above and beyond to support us and the Ellison Machinery Service experience is outstanding – I probably know half the Ellison Machinery team and I really appreciate how helpful the entire team is.” The KB Precision team hasn’t needed the Haas service team except when a new machine is being installed.

Mike and Mat are very grateful for many of their suppliers who go the extra mile to help them with their business. Mike says, “In addition to Ellison Machinery, we have some outstanding tool suppliers, including Trace Jacobs at Kyocera, and Felipe Hardy at Toolnet.” Mat added, “We are also grateful to have an exceptional team of hard working, dedicated employees here at KB who are always up for a challenge and willing to put in the extra work that makes this company successful.”

What’s next for KB Precision? Mike and Adam agree that they are always excited about new technology and they often self teach themselves.

“We purchased an EDM machine, though neither of us have done EDM machining before”,Adam says. Mike adds, “5 axis machining is in our not so distant future.”Asked if they are nervous about adding this new technology to their shop, the two answered – “Absolutely not.We’re excited about it.”

Today, KB Precision is both a job shop and a design shop for their customers’ new products. They hold a FFL (Federal Firearms License) and plan to expand their support of firearms customers. “We are skilled in new product design – today we support the design efforts of Flamethrowers, (used in such applications as pest control, agricultural back burns, clearing snow and ice) and we plan to grow our product design business.”

How A Sea Turtle Led An Arizona Company To Make Paper Straws The push to ban single-use plastics is paying off for a Gilbert company.

When two Intel engineers founded Footprint five years ago, they focused on designing and making paper bowls, trays, cups and packaging. And then a YouTube video caught fire.

Recorded in 2015 by Christine Figgener, a marine conservation biologist, it shows her colleague pulling a plastic straw out of a sea turtle’s nose.

“Unfortunately, I have to say, this is not a super uncommon site,” Figgener said.

As her video racked up views, Jeff Bassett, senior vice president of marketing at Footprint, said companies asked them to come up with an alternative. So, they started making paper straws last fall and just announced a deal with Wegmans, an upscale grocery chain on the east coast. Bassett said they’ll be used in store delis and sold on shelves at 99 locations.

“Our ultimate goal is to be able to produce 27 million paper straws a day,” Bassett said.

^d/E'^ Θ D ,/E/E'

He said Footprint has four production facilities, more than 800 employees and one ocean ambassador — Christine Figgener from the YouTube video. She said Footprint convinced her they had a good product.

Gilbert-based Footprint began making paper straws in 2018.“It started to become this thing that a lot of companies claimed to be biodegradable or all this kind of greenwashing vocabulary and it’s not true,” she said. “Here [at Footprint], it is the case, it’s not even a plastic, it’s fiber-based. It’s truly degradable. So, you know, you could throw it on your own compost, you could actually leave it in the marine environment. And, it’s third-party certified, so that’s kind of what I was looking for.”

Last year, Nature, the International Journal of Science, published a study of ocean debris between California and Hawaii that found 90 percent made up of large pieces of plastics. Figgener said people should remember every river leads to the ocean.

“So that means you might have disposed of your plastic, you know, responsibly, it went onto the landfill,” she said. “But then, the next storm, the next hurricane, the next flood might have just transported it into the river and from there it went into the ocean.”

Next year, Starbucks says it will eliminate plastic straws at its stores worldwide. The change has been challenging for McDonalds. Some customers in the UK and Ireland have called on the fast food giant to stop its roll out of paper straws claiming they “dissolve” in drinks.

Footprint says its straws are engineered to last over days of use and still break down completely within 90 days.“We actually delivered all the paper straws for the Scottsdale Culinary Festival that was about a month or a month and a half ago,” Bassett said.”

Boeing Lands Order for 737 MAX Boeing Co. won a landmark 737 MAX order from British Airways parent IAG, ending a sales drought in the wake of the grounding of the aircraft following two fatal crashes.

International Consolidated Airlines Group SA, as IAG is formally known, said at the Paris Air Show it had signed a letter of intent for up to 200 Boeing 737 MAX planes. It would buy the 737 MAX 8, the model that crashed in October and March, as well as the larger 737 MAX 10.

“Looking into the future, we recognize this is a great aircraft,” said IAG Chief Executive Willie Walsh. Mr. Walsh, a 737 pilot early in his career, recently flew a MAX simulator to assess the flight-control change that Boeing has proposed to address issues identified in the crashes.

Mr.Walsh said he tested the original flight-control system and the upgrade. “It was a very helpful exercise.

It gave me confidence both in the aircraft and the changes” proposed by Boeing, he said.

The deal is the biggest vote of confidence in the beleaguered plane since its grounding more than three months ago.

The plane will be operated by British Airways and IAG budget units Level and Vueling, Mr. Walsh said.

Some U.S. pilots say that more still needs to be done to make sure pilots are trained to fly the MAX safely. “We remained concerned about whether the new training protocol, materials and method of instruction suggested by Boeing are adequate,” said Dan Carey, president of the union that represents pilots at American Airlines Group Inc., in testimony prepared for a hearing being held Wednesday by the aviation subcommittee of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

Boeing also secured a commitment from Korean Air Lines Co. and Air Lease Corp. to buy 787 Dreamliners.

Boeing entered the Paris Air Show in an unusual situation. The U.S. plane maker had racked up 125 more cancellations than new orders for this year, reflecting few bookings and a raft of canceled orders, including from India’s financially struggling Jet Airways.

The plane maker failed to win any new orders in April or May. Air New Zealand Ltd. said last month it would buy eight 787-10 Dreamliners, but the deal wasn’t finalized.

The biennial Paris Air Show is typically a place for plane producers to showcase new products and book large airliner orders.

Boeing said that Korean Air would deploy 20 of the largest version of the Dreamliner, the 787-10, and 10 slightly smaller 787-9s. The deal has a value of $6.3 billion before industry-standard discounts. Some of the planes are being acquired by plane-rental firm Air Lease and placed with the Asian carrier.

Air Lease separately ordered five 787-9s at a prediscount price of $1.5 billion.

Rival Airbus SE continued its order haul, including for its newly launched

A321XLR, introduced at the air show.

IAG, which has long signaled interest in the Airbus model to fly transAtlantic routes, said it was ordering 14 A321XLRs, six for Irish unit Aer Lingus and eight for Spain’s Iberia.

Both carriers would open new trans-Atlantic routes, IAG said.

Philippine budget carrier Cebu Pacific ordered 10 of the new Airbus planes, with first delivery in 2024, along with 16 of the wide-body A330-900s and five A320neo single-aisle jets.

Saudi Arabian Airlines added to an earlier A320neo deal, taking as many as 100 of the planes, including 15 of the A321XLR. Delta Air Lines Inc. also topped up its commitment for Airbus A220 planes, ordering five more of the jets.

Congress Hoping to Bolster US Advanced Manufacturing In May, U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Chris Coons (DDE) announced a new bipartisan bill whose intent is to increase America’s global competitiveness in advanced manufacturing.The Global Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing Act would expand the national network of Manufacturing USA institutes.

The Manufacturing USA program is a national network of 14 publicprivate partnership institutes with 1,300-member companies and institutions working to keep the U.S. on the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing.

The institutes collaborate with member companies, academic institutions, trade associations, and government partners to develop new best practices in manufacturing, help transition innovative technologies from lab to market, and expand the production of goods made in America.

“America has always been a global leader in manufacturing, and we need to do everything we can to make sure our country remains competitive to continue that leadership in the 21st century,” said Senator Gillibrand in a statement. ”This legislation would improve job training programs and support entrepreneurs, creating more opportunities for our workers to succeed in manufacturing.

One reason that Gillibrand is a co-sponsor of the bill is that three Manufacturing USA institutes are based in New York. The three institutes are the Reducing Embodied-Energy and Decreasing Emissions (REMADE) Institute, which is headquartered in Rochester and led by the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT); the American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics (AIM Photonics), which is located in Rochester and Albany and led by the SUNY Polytechnic Institute along with the University of Rochester and RIT; and the Rapid Advancement in Process Intensification Deployment (RAPID) Manufacturing Institute, which is headquartered in New York City and led by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).

Adams Machinery Is Growing, Again!

What do you do as a b u s i n e s s ow n e r who has built a very successful business for the past 28 years?

Where for every year in the past decade you have ac hieved ‘Outstanding Sales Perfor mance’ from Doosan Machine Tools America, one of your top Global Machine Tool Builders and last year you topped previous accomplishments when you won every i m a g i n a bl e awa r d ‘Best in the West’ (both in Service and in Sales) from Doosan? Where you have a team that is comprised of some of the most talented individuals, many who have over a decade plus years of working with you?

Dick says, “I’ve been planning my succession plan for the past two years, and Eugene and I had multiple discussions before we concluded that the time was right. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more qualified person to take over as Vice President/General Manager. Even our business philosophies are very much aligned.”

He continued, “Eugene brings outstanding expertise to our team.

With a decade working in machine shops where he was programming 5th Axis machines. He has been a Senior Manager in Sales for the past 18 years in the Machine Tool Industry, with the majority working directly for Builders. During the last 4 years, he supported the entire Western United States as the Regional Sales Manager for Doosan. On top of this, he has a Degree in Mechanical Engineering.”

Though Eugene is now the VP/GM for Adams Machinery, supporting all aspects of Sales, Marketing, Service, and the company’s P&L, Dick says that he is always just a phone call away for the Customers he considers Friends. “Our Customers already knew Eugene, since

he was the face of Doosan in all of the Western US, including Arizona.

So it was no surprise that when we told many of our loyal Customers about the transition, they were very excited. Eugene brings new vision, energy and capabilities to our team, and I am confident he will bring our company to the next level.”

Eugene says, “Dick has assembled an ‘All Star’ crew at Adams Machinery. From a Sales perspective, I’ve worked with and supported Paul Czaplicki (12 years with Adams Machinery) and Ken Goodman (16 years), and they are true Sales Professionals with extraordinarily backgrounds in the Machine Tool Industry. Since I came onboard, they have been very supportive; it is certainly beneficial that we’ve worked together for the past 4 years.”

He continued, “Our Service team includes Brian DeVillier (8 years with the company), Scott Short (3 years), Andrew Goodman (2 years), Bradley DeVillier (8 mo.) and Joe Couitt (1 year), provides exceptional support to our Customers, with their technical competence and work ethic. Our Administrative members consists of Nancy Short (21 years) and Karen R McBride (11 years), who are immensely supportive to our Customers, Vendors and Staff.”

In his career, Eugene has worked with many Machine Tool Dealers.

“I’ve seen what works really well and what doesn’t. I will take from the best of the Dealers I’ve worked with and implement these programs at Adams Machinery.” He added, “Going forward, our Customers will see a strong emphasis on 5 Axis Machining and Automation (Robotics).We will continuously introduce them to Technologies that they will need to succeed in the coming years.”

Meet A New Generation Of Entrepreneurs Using Local Manufacturing As Their Secret Weapon

techniques make it possible for companies to produce what they want when they want it, and stay increasingly agile similar to how software companies can.

Much of the current talk about American manufacturing centers on how it needs to be “saved.” It presumes all of manufacturing is inevitably heading—or has already headed— overseas, and U.S. factories are largely a relic of the past.

While a decade ago the entrepreneurial trendsetters were software designers and app developers, the new trend has circled back to physical objects—especially those incorporating a technology and a high-design aesthetic that modern consumers have come to expect.

And those design iterations can happen faster when a designer doesn’t need to fly across an ocean or surmount cultural barriers, but can just drive across town to see how their product is coming off the production line.

Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s a myth that production can be separated from technology, design or modern culture in America; it’s an integral part of innovation and our future. And a new generation of founders have realized there are clear advantages to keeping the factories that build their products close to the creators and inventors who design them. Manufacturing locally is their competitive edge.

Despite reports of its demise, manufacturing is still the largest industry in the U.S. (excluding real estate), and my home city of Los Angeles remains the largest manufacturing center in the country with nearly a half-million jobs in the sector.You might be surprised to hear that manufacturing employment in L.A. outnumbers film and television, four-to-one.

So what does manufacturing in L.A. look like? There are transportation companies, aerospace companies, food and beverage makers and a thriving fashion industry, just to name a few. A study by the organization I lead, MAKE IT IN LA (a spinoff of L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Entrepreneur-In-Residence program), found that the sector comprises nearly 30,000 manufacturing business that on average employ 20 or fewer employees.

This makes the industry diverse and vibrant—and sometimes hard to navigate.

The concept of modern manufacturing can be hard for average Americans to get their heads around. Many imagine greasy wrenches, billowing smokestacks, lunchbox-toting men in dirty overalls. It’s true that some factories haven’t changed much in decades, but they need to step it up to stay relevant. Because technology has changed modern manufacturing just as much as nearly every other aspect of our lives. New production A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Today, we have a chance to see what that looks like at MakerWalk LA, an annual event organized by MAKE IT IN LA. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at factories and studios in the tres chic Arts District of Downtown L.A. Many of the business owners who open their doors for this self-guided walking tour are tapping into L.A.’s existing production infrastructure. Others are building new production infrastructure of their own.

These entrepreneurs include COMUNITYmade, a new shoe brand founded by former industry executives from ASICS, TOMS, Vans and Nike. The founders gave up their careers at big brands after deciding to build a company that reflects their values and gives back to the community. They use local contract manufacturer Lalaland Production and Design to produce their shoes,

“Of course, it makes sense for us to invest in local manufacturing and to support fair wages; it’s core to our values and our brand,” explains Shannon Scott, one of COMUNITYmade’s founders. “But people are surprised to hear it’s just good for business. We can be quicker to market and have less inventory risk when we know the people making our shoes.”

At Lalaland’s headquarters, you can see luxury shoes and bags being made using a combination of artisanal hand-crafting and advanced digital fabrication equipment, right along to the banks of the LA River.

A few blocks away, the world’s largest organic distillery, Greenbar Distillery, taps into locally-grown organic produce and diverse tastes from ethnic cuisines that are plentiful in L.A.’s backyard. They use high tech equipment such as a continuous infinitely fractionating column still to capture and highlight the subtle flavors in their spirits.

Lumber mills aren’t the first thing you might imagine when you think about downtown L.A., but Angel City Lumber takes trees cut down across the city and rescues them from the waste stream.“Los Angeles has a huge community of artists using hardwoods from overseas that cost top dollar,” explains co-founder Jeff Perry, “while equally good trees here in L.A. are buried as garbage.” So instead of letting the wood be chipped and thrown in the landfill, they upcycle these “waste trees” into one-of-a-kind design items. Their urban lumber is sought after by architects and designers.

And a short distance from Angel City is Scale 1:1, who combines modern design with technology to create stylish business furniture made for collaboration and creativity.

They have two factories in South Los Angeles. Clients can order pieces rapidly customized to any color and size, and have them delivered in a fraction of the time it would take if they produced them in an overseas factory.

Some assume it’s too expensive to manufacture anything in America, but as I recently discussed with four entrepreneurs on my podcast, there are often many reasons to make locally. And when you consider the total costs, it can actually be less expensive to do so.

Scaling a business with physical products has other unique challenges as well, like production planning, inventory management and logistics. Unlike tech, Hollywood, or other professions, manufacturers aren’t in the habit of organizing industry mixers and tend to be fairly disconnected. That’s the goal of MakerWalk LA—to bring the community together.

As these examples demonstrate, Los Angeles manufacturing isn’t just a soulless attempt at mass producing gadgets, nor is it a quaint throwback to artisanal crafts. It represents the future of innovation at the intersection of digital and physical.There is a new generation of entrepreneurs eager to make the future by embracing technology, mashing-up new ideas across industries, and tapping into a diverse pool of talent and resources that are just a car ride away.

And while many of these entrepreneurs are purposedriven, they aren’t keeping their production local simply to be charitable. They’re doing it because it’s good for business.

Re-Introducing The

RevAZ, Arizona’s MEP program, was recently renamed The Arizona Manufacturing Extension Partnership, or AZ MEP for short. Dave Garafano, Executive Director of the program, says, “We’re calling it like it is. Our name, in essence our branding, should convey exactly who we are and what we do. We are an extension to our manufacturing partners here in Arizona.

“Our mission hasn’t changed; we’ve just changed our name to better reflect what we do and who our clients are.

Throughout the U.S., the NIST/MEP National Network™ is well known as a public-private partnership that has the charter to help manufacturers succeed – whether it is offering training to a number of companies on advanced manufacturing technology or providing customized business plans to a specific manufacturing company, our overriding goal is to help fuel growth and advance manufacturing throughout Arizona.”

Dave Garafano, Executive Director

A Training Session Hosted in Prescott

David joined the Arizona Commerce Authority in October 2015 as the Executive Director of The Arizona Manufacturing Extension Partnership.

Dave’s background includes 25+ years’ experience in manufacturing and business, having held leadership positions with companies such as AT&T, Lucent Technologies, Celiant, Andrew, and ON Semiconductor.

As Executive Director for Arizona MEP, Dave leads statewide efforts to help Arizona manufacturers to become the Another ‘Sold Out’ Training most successful businesses they can be.

Session Hosted in Phoenix Arizona MEP offers a variety of services to help companies improve business and operational performance through both their on-staff Senior Client Advisors and a network of third-party service providers.

Over time, Dave and his team realized that they weren’t capitalizing on the brand recognition of a program that is national. “The name is confusing”, was a frequent comment they heard from clients. MEP is well known in the manufacturing community, and we felt that renaming our program to align with the national MEP A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

AZ MEP is focused on helping manufacturers generate business results and thrive in today’s technology-driven economy. The MEP National Network includes 51 MEP Centers (located in all 50 states plus one in Puerto Rico) and over 1,300 manufacturing experts at more than 400 service locations and provides U.S. manufacturers with access to the resources they need to succeed.

Dave says, “We are fully staffed today, and nearly every one of our team members comes directly from the manufacturing industry. On average, our team members have 25-30 years in industry and were recruited specifically to support the initiatives that manufacturers told us they wanted. Today we are set up to provide almost any service a manufacturer might need and if we can’t do it, we’ll find someone who can. Key services include: • Strategic Planning • Organizational Development • Staffing and Workforce Development Supply Chain • • Financial Management and Cash Flow Optimization • P&L Improvement Sales and Marketing • • Cybersecurity Continuous Improvement/Lean Manufacturing • • Import/ Export Services • ISO Certification Advanced Technology Planning & Implementation • Sarah Wallis, Project Coordinator, says, “We are really proud of the ExporTech program, a nationwide NIST/MEP program that provides resources and helps manufacturers develop an actionable export plan to grow their businesses outside the U.S. Locally, team member Kevin O’Shea,VP of InternationalTrade at the Arizona Commerce Authority manages the program for Arizona. The ACA was one of only two statewide economic development organizations across the country to be awarded the President’s “E” Award for Export Services from the U.S. Department of Commerce, which recognizes excellence in assisting and facilitating exports.”

Dave adds, “The effectiveness of the National MEP program is measured by a third-party survey company that surveys all of the clients in each state. Since 4Q2015, AZ MEP’s clients have reported the following impacts: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

Who Does Your Thread Rolling Today?

Chances are, if you don’t know Shaw Precision, you are having your thread rolling done out of state. New co-owners Chris Torres and Andy Severyn want to let you know that Shaw Precision offers the largest range of thread rolling in the state of Arizona. “I used Shaw Precision for the past decade plus”, Andy says, “and I got to know founder Jesse Shaw very well. I also came to rely on the quality of his precision grinding and thread rolling capabilities.You couldn’t beat the quality or the incredibly quick turn around.” Shaw is renowned for its ability to thread roll some of the largest diameters, up to 2” depending upon the material.

For the past couple of years, Jesse and Andy discussed the possibility of Jesse taking a less active role in the business, selling it to Andy, and increasing his focus on hobbies. “The transaction happened in February of this year”, Andy says, “and it is outstanding that we still have Jesse on our team, just with a less active role.”

While running his own machine shop years ago, Andy was introduced to Chris Torres, a Journeyman machinist. “Chris came to work for us, and we put him on a Holroyd gear grinding machine, one that would take the average machinist a year to master, and Chris had it down in days.” He continued, “When I had the opportunity to purchase Shaw Precision, I knew I wanted an excellent machinist and great person as my partner.”

Shaw Precision may be under new ownership, but the company is extremely experienced in precision machining, particularly grinding and thread rolling, with more than 100 years of experience amongst the small team.

Andy brought on his son Ryan to help with marketing and business processes. Today, Ryan is studying to earn his business degree at Grand Canyon University.

Metzfab Industries Provides Machining And Fabrication And Growth Is Facilitated With Automation “Bring Manufacturing Back To The USA” Shor tly after the US Government implemented 25% and 10% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, respectively, business owner Brandon Metzger issued a press release to his customers and to the industry, titled, “Metzfab Industries Stands As A Purveyor of American Manufacturing”.

In the press announcement, Brandon comments, “If metal plays a role in your business, these developments are going to affect you, especially if your business is operating in aerospace, military, industrial machinery, architecture and automotive industries. Sadly, these tariffs on steel and aluminum are increasing your manufacturing costs.”

Brandon is passionate about continuing to bring manufacturing back into the United States. “The tariffs on metal imports offer companies here in the US who have outsourced their manufacturing to look once again at bringing it back.” “But”, he added, “Manufacturers in the United States must do all they can to automate their operations in order to compete.”

What is so remarkable about this, you might ask yourself. For one, Brandon is a small precision manufacturer with a dozen or so employees. Owners of these types of manufacturing firms typically do not get involved with marketing, PR, politics, or anything remotely related to Brandon’s press release.

Then, lets take it a step further. Brandon will celebrate a decade as a business owner next year, and he hasn’t yet hit 30 years of age! You would not guess by his years of experience and entrepreneurial spirit that Brandon is a member of ‘Generation Z’, the demographic cohort after the Millennials.

Today, Metzfab Industries provides custom metal fabrication and CNCautomated machining for a variety of industries. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, the company supports businesses across the U.S. A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

B r a n d o n s ay s , “As a contract manufacturer, we pride ourselves o n p r ov i d i n g high-quality steel, aluminum and stainless steel, acr ylic , glass, granite and more components through use of cutting-edge technology to ensure your order’s accuracy and on-time delivery. We capitalize on such capabilities as machining, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, welding, bending, band sawing, drilling, counter sinking, threading, tapping and many other processes to manufacture our parts.”

Metzfab has morphed over the years, much as Brandon has. Before he was even 20, in fact just shortly after high school, Brandon took out a student loan to go to school to become a helicopter pilot.While his school was, I can only imagine, remarkable (who wouldn’t want to become a helicopter pilot?), he graduated in the Recession of the late 2000s, by far the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Not only were many Americans put out of work, Brandon couldn’t find employment as a helicopter pilot.

By the age of 20, Brandon made the decision to open his own business, which he named ‘Metzfab’. He had a lot of fabrication equipment that he had acquired over the years from his hobby of working on cars. Metzfab launched as an extension of his hobby, manufacturing automotive accessories (e.g. brackets, chassis, shock mounts, custom rolling chassis, UTV accessories, and more).

Much has changed since the business opened in 2010. Metzfab started in Brandon’s garage, and has moved twice since, first to a 4200 square foot building in Deer Valley, and now to its current location, with nearly four fold the footprint (~16,000 square feet).

Brandon says, “Our first move to Deer Valley opened up an entirely new customer base for us; once people saw us or learned about us, they came to Metzfab for job shop fabrication work. We weren’t just making our own aftermarket products.” He continued, “Over time, we determined that our contract manufacturing/ job shop work was much more aligned with where we wanted the business to grow.”

Today, the company offers machining and fabrication (sheet metal and welding) capabilities with the following superior machine tools: • Waterjet cutting ( Flow 5 Axis Waterjet 94K) • Laser cutting ( Bysmart Fiber 6K Laser) • Machining (Haas DM-2) • Press Brake (NSB 6 Axis CNC 10’X120 Ton) • Deburring Machine (LISSMAC SBM-M 2000) • Finishing Machine (36’’ Wet Timesaver) • Hardware Insertion Machine (Pemserter 2000) • And More.

Chris Hansen, Sales Engineer for Ellison Machinery supporting Metzfab, sold Brandon the Haas DM-2. Chris says, “The DM-2 is a compact, highspeed machining center built with proven components and sub-assemblies.

It is identical in construction and specifications to the DM-1, with the addition of 8” of X-axis travel and table length.” He adds, “Due to the huge popularity of the lightning-fast DM-1 and DT-1, Haas has created larger versions of those machines for customers wanting more travel to run larger parts.”

Brandon says, “When you are planning a machine tool purchase, the machine is one thing. Training, support, and service are another thing.”

He continued, “I buy my machines from strategic partners, from people I can work well with. I can call Chris at 6 pm at night with questions, and he’ll take my call. There are machine tool sales guys out there who can tell you what the machine is called and what it costs. They couldn’t run the machine or really give you any pertinent information on how it will work well in your shop — in many cases these are sales people who sell too many products, and they don’t really learn any of them. At Ellison, they don’t sell products they don’t know.Take it another step — the Haas Service Technicians are highly trained and knowledgeable.”

I mentioned that Brandon is an advocate of automation. When he purchased the Haas DM-2, he bought it equipped with a Midaco pallet changer and the HRC160 rotary table. Chris says, “The HRC160 is a compact, high-speed rotary table driven by a high-performance roller cam system that provides indexing speeds up to 830°/second.

Because the roller drive is preloaded during assembly, the system yields high stiffness, high torque, and high speed values, while providing low wear characteristics and reducing maintenance.” He adds, “Midaco is a USA manufacturer of pallet changer systems and robotic systems. With the Haas DM-2, the HRC160, and the Midaco pallet changer, Brandon is able to double the quantity of parts he can machine.” Brandon adds, “We get a lot of small batch work which requires multiple set-ups. With our Haas DM-2 set-up, we can run a job all day, and within seconds, slide another job onto the other pallet, and be running the new job immediately.”

Brandon says, “With our Haas DM-2, the HRC160, coupled with the Midaco pallet changer, we are able to run efficiently with less machines and less people. Our spindles have a 90% uptime now.”

At Metzfab, the entire team is trained to do at least 5 things, Brandon says. “Our efficiency relies upon all machines running - we’re not producing parts if the machines are idle. “Brandon also says that with the exception of the fabrication side of Metzfab’s business, all machines are able to run lights out.

Chris says, “Brandon runs an extremely efficient business — his people are well trained, and his machines are running at their maximum efficiency.”

Metzfab Industries will celebrate 10 years in business next year.

Interview with Len Wagner of Deer Valley Ventures

62 • July / August

2019

I started my career in computer graphics. I was focused on the software that produced the images. I did a lot of graphics simulations. This lead to CAD and finite element analysis. In 1992 I was a researcher and was able to work on one of the first 3D printers. I was able to help researchers to visualize their data. Later on I was able to work on the financial side as I run a fund. I sit between these two things. I am also involved in a lot of STEM education as well and it has been important for me to give back. It took a while, but I figured out I had a skill of explaining the technical side to the business side. It took a while to realize that was important.

What kind of developments have recently disrupted this marketplace?

We have seen a big movement in the industry. We have moved from prototyping to manufacturing. We are at the very beginning stages of this. Customers and vendors are doing things to make this transition.

It is a very different set of requirements from making prototypes to actual production levels.We at Impossible Objects are somewhat betting on this. The word disruption is funny. It is a slow methodical process to move in this field. Manufacturing moves very conservatively and methodically. More parts are moving toward digital manufacturing and additive manufacturing. If you talk to a large aircraft manufacturer like Boeing, a modern aircraft has hundreds of parts. A small percentage of these parts are continuously being made with additive manufacturing.

Good steady progress is important. The full life cycle of material properties is important to understand.

Can you explain your work and day to day operations for Impossible Objects?

I run the engineering group as the ChiefTechnology Manager.The main function we have is designing and building new machines.We want to improve the process with new materials and machinery. We work on process development and I also help to make an automated machine that may assist with these types of process developments. I also work with customers for them to work with machines.

Impossible Objects You have an interesting mix of skills in terms of venture capital as well as engineering.

Can you give some insight into how you operate within both worlds?

It really comes down to building teams and having communication skills. It is important to build the communication skills. It’s important to translate the cultures.

Engineers have a certain way of speaking and it is important to be able to explain things in terms of the business side and that realm of communication.

I feel the future of the additive sector lies within the precision of 3 dimensional imaging techniques.What are your thoughts on this?

I think it is important to measure the quality control of a product. 3D optical scanning at a cheap rate is not really on the market just yet and I think there is a great market need for it. Why is there not an open source package that is oriented towards this?

Fab Lab Association People compare the additive manufacturing industry to the early days of computers. Do you agree or disagree and why?

I largely agree but it is not a perfect analogy. I agree that the transformation for being able to do manufacturing cheaper and faster at a small scale is similar to how programming costs went down extremely over time. Authoring is hard to do in 3D. Thinking in 3D is difficult. I also do not think there is a Moore’s law of Additive Manufacturing. I do think the ability to change the manufacturing sector is large.

Museum of Science and Industry Fab Lab Can you explain some of the work you do as chairman of the FabLab Association

for the Museum of Science and Industry?

With the FabLab Network, I am an advisor to the board of the MIT FabLab Network. The Museum of Science and Industry has a FabLab and it is great to expose people to one aspect of the maker movement. Schools and organizations are allowed some exposure and experience to this environment. There is an educational aspect of the Museum as well. This also invigorates people. It sparks the interest in people as well. I help to raise funds and I advise the lab. The equipment has become relatively cheap so schools can have access to these items. It is important for us to teach educators how to use these types of machines.

It is important to give people access as well as give people mentorship.

What are some key points that companies should be focusing on in terms of the additive manufacturing strategies?

We must focus on material properties. It also is important to know the speed of prints. It is also important to have the economics down pat as well. Lastly, I think these machines have to work within your larger manufacturing environments. We are adding a camera to slice every image of all levels that have been printed. It is also to take advantage of digital manufacturing and mass customization.

What Does the Future of Manufacturing Technologies Look Like in 2019?

Technology has gone beyond creating simple products. The last decade has brought a lot of changes coming from consumers’ demand and the products’ nature. Customers are becoming more interested in buying personalized products, customized according to their requirements. On the other hand, technology is also evolving and is putting its mark on the manufacturing industry.

Each year is bringing innovation, and new technologies are used to create smart products which meet customers’ expectations.

Benefits of Technology in Manufacturing New smart technologies are changing the face of manufacturing. Nanotechnology, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things are all improving manufacturing processes and helping manufacturers save costs and increase their products’ quality. Once manufacturers have experienced the gamechanging benefits of technology, there is no way back. Below you can find some of the most significant benefits that technology brings to the manufacturing industry:

customers’ demands.

• Downtime to zero – thanks to technology and its capacity to prevent any malfunctions, downtime is reduced considerably. We all know that downtime has a lot of costs, among which the lost cost of opportunity is the greatest. Therefore, technology can help prevent any situation that may cause delays in production and lower product quality.

• Informed decisions - when using technology, there will be no single moment when managers don’t know what their machines and people are doing.Thus, based on the data received, they can switch from a reactive approach to a more proactive one.

•Predictive maintenance – Internet ofThings is the answer for manufacturers looking for solutions to complete maintenance proactively.The IoT sends real-time data and helps manufacturers schedule maintenance at the right time.Thus, waste coming from manufacturing is drastically reduced.

Future of Manufacturing Technologies in 2019 “In 2019, manufacturers will have to deal with the increased customer demand for personalization, faster completion, and maximum transparency. Therefore, businesses will need to integrate their processes and choose more cost-effective solutions which will help them become more efficient and productive,” says Cory Neal, COO of The Word Point.

• Improved product quality – each manufacturer is continuously looking for methods to enhance their products’ quality.Technology can prevent any small errors which can then affect the quality of the products. Smart machines send immediate signals whenever something goes wrong and thus help manufacturing businesses keep their reputation and deliver products that meet the

1. Smart machines Manufacturers are concerned not only about creating personalized products to satisfy demand, but also having competitive prices. Therefore, each element

•Energy efficiency – one of the biggest costs a factory has are coming from energy consumption.

Becoming more energy efficient is the dream of any manufacturer.Technology makes it possible by helping businesses determine where they are losing power and developing solutions.

from the production stream matters and influences their production costs. To survive in this competitive world and attract more customers, manufacturers are shifting to a product development approach centered more on software and technology.

2. Real-time monitoring through smart technologies Statistics show that 81 percent of manufacturers are switching or will switch to real-time monitoring as they consider that it helps their business.

Real-time tracking is bringing a lot of benefits to the manufacturing of today. It improves scheduling accuracy as well as creating better levels of inventory control. Furthermore, real-time monitoring helps manufacturers improve their production plan performance. The future looks bright for real-time monitoring as it will help manufacturing businesses a lot in making inventory reconciliation more efficient.

3. Evolving workforce 2019 is bringing a new and diverse generation which is enthusiastically entering the workforce. Their expectations are high, and so are their demands. In addition, working for a manufacturing business is not on their priorities list. Therefore, manufacturers will have to deal with a skills gap in 2019. It will become difficult for them to convince the new generation to accept a position in their company and fill their “thirst” of innovation and growth. Manufacturers will have to find exciting ways to attract young and tech-savvy workers for a career in manufacturing.

On the other hand, as recruiting new employees is challenging, business owners should also switch their attention to the existing employees as well.

For example, they can retrain old employees and keep them informed about the latest technology updates introduced in the production flow.

Furthermore, foreign labor can also be a solution.

4. Industrial robots Technology evolution is becoming too evident for small and medium manufacturing businesses to ignore it. Robots were created with incredible skills like increasing dexterity or machine vision. The ways a robot can be used are limitless. However, even though artificial intelligence is evolving a lot, humans are still relevant.Therefore, one of the challenges manufacturers will have to face in 2019 is to find the right balance between robots and humans. In comparison to industrial robots, 2019 is going to be the year which brings collaborative robots in the manufacturing world.

We are experiencing the robot revolution, and we should take maximum advantage of it. Collaborative robots can be programmed via hardware and software to do an amazingly high and diverse number of jobs.

5. Analytics and business intelligence There’s no surprise that analytics and business intelligence will continue to penetrate the manufacturing industry. 2019 is going to be the year that is going to cement their importance for manufacturing, helping businesses increase their production capacity and create a better resource planning.

Thanks to business intelligence, manufacturing businesses can easily anticipate problem areas and collect relevant data for business growth.

Moreover, analytics and business intelligence provide more accurate financial visibility into shop floor production.

Manufacturing business owners are constantly seeking for methods of staying ahead of the competition and expanding the list of clients.

Technology plays a very important role, as it helps them remain efficient and meet their customers’ demands.What is more, thanks to technology breakthroughs they are able to reduce costs and improve their profitability.

Growth In Factory Jobs Skips Traditional Hubs In President Donald Trump’s first two years in office, factory job growth accelerated, an achievement he has been claiming credit for ahead of the 2020 election, particularly in the industrial Midwest.Some of the 465,000 factory jobs that the country created in 2017 and 2018 are in the most economically beleaguered counties that voted for Trump in 2016. But the biggest winners have not been the traditional manufacturing hubs where workers have been hammered this century by outsourcing and automation.

Instead, factory job creation has flowed to frontiers of the advanced manufacturing economy — like Nevada, home to aTesla factory that churns out batteries for electric cars, homes and utilities — and oil-patch epicenters like Tulsa, Oklahoma.The strong growth includes large contributions from the booming craft brewing, wine and spirits industries, which the federal government classifies as manufacturing and added nearly 30,000 jobs in that time.

The vast majority of the factory jobs have come in counties that were already adding factory employment before Trump took office. And a disproportionate share of the expansion was concentrated in prosperous areas like Silicon Valley and Houston.

A combination of tax cuts and deregulation pushed by the Trump administration appears to have fueled a widespread, though possibly temporary, increase in the pace of job creation in manufacturing. Production jobs increased in many more counties in Trump’s first two years than under President Barack Obama from 2010 to 2016.

Those gains have started slowing this year, in part under strain from the president’s trade wars with China and other countries. And it appears doubtful that Trump will achieve his campaign promise of restoring the millions of factory jobs that many states and counties lost over the last two decades.

The United States lost nearly 6 million manufacturing jobs from 2000 to 2010 as companies moved production to China and other low-cost countries, increased use of machines on factory floors and scaled back operations after the 2008 financial crisis. The economy has regained just under 1.5 million, but not always in the places that lost the most.

The MountainWest and the energy-rich Great Plains have experienced much faster factory job growth than the Great Lakes. Nearly every state west of the Mississippi added manufacturing jobs faster than the national average in 2017 and 2018, the analysis shows. Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were all at or below average. And several Northeastern states, including New York, Massachusetts and Vermont, lost factory jobs.

As a result, Nevada, the Dakotas and Utah have regained the manufacturing jobs they lost after 2000 — and then some. Pennsylvania still has only twothirds of the factory jobs it had at the turn of the century, and Michigan is down nearly as much. Rhode Island has recovered the fewest production jobs of any state.

Nearly half the counties that had more manufacturing employment in 2018 than in 2010 are in the West. But not all Western counties fared well. Los Angeles County lost more than 11,000 factory jobs and nearby Ventura County nearly 4,000 in Trump’s first two years in office.

The list of counties that added the most manufacturing jobs in 2017 and 2018 highlights that divide. It is led by Harris County, Texas, which includes Houston and factories that supply the oil and gas industry. It also includes Alameda County, California, in the Bay Area, and Storey County, Nevada, east of Reno, which are home to Tesla plants that added jobs.

“The manufacturing sector is steadily realigning after the shocks of the early part of this century,” said John Lettieri, the president of the Economic Innovation Group, which came up with the idea for the opportunity zone program. “The West is emerging as a new growth engine for the sector, and manufacturing’s rebound is finally reaching many distressed areas of the country.”He added, “These gains are real but still fragile.”

The fragility is a result of a global manufacturing slowdown, which many analysts link to Trump’s tariffs on imports from China — among other products — and the escalation of trade tensions with countries around the world.

American manufacturers have added just 13,000 jobs since January, according to the Labor Department, down from an average of 19,000 a month during Trump’s first two years in office.

“Manufacturing have a trifecta of headwinds in their face: an overhang of inventories, weak global growth and tariffs,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at auditing firm GrantThornton.

It is hard to quantify the effect precisely, but “there are indications that some of this tariff stuff may be having a slowing effect on hiring in the manufacturing sector,” said Jay Bryson, global economist at Wells Fargo in Charlotte, North Carolina. “One suspects that tariffs may be playing a role there.”

Administration officials remain optimistic that the slowdown in factory jobs is temporary and thatTrump’s policies will drive manufacturing growth in more places.“My own personal view is there is a little mini inventory correction going on,” as manufacturers work through

stockpiles of goods, Larry Kudlow, the director of Trump’s National Economic Council, said. “I can’t get too worried about it.”

to measure the effectiveness of your processes in your organization, you have to start at the very top: your Quality Policy. The main goal is to deliver quality products and services to your customers, so as to assure they are satisfied.

The common-sense approach to setting and measuring meaningful objectives How each company measures their delivery performance, quality performance and performance to measure the effectiveness of each of their processes should be dependent to the company’s products, services, and data collection tools already in place. If you have an ERP system that already evaluates the data for delivery and quality, then you should automate the reporting as frequently as possible. If you are spending precious time scrubbing information that was downloaded from your ERP system to eliminate inaccurate data, then consider moving towards a discrepancy reporting system. If you do not have an ERP or Quality Management System (QMS) Software program, then Excel workbooks are usually the ideal way to collect data for your QMS. Again, we suggest a discrepancy reporting system.

For example, if every late delivery to a customer is tracked in the spreadsheet with reasoning for why it is late, at the end of the month all a company would have to do is determine the fraction of late deliveries out of the total number of shipments for the month to determine the delivery performance. The reasons why it was late can be used to calculate key process performance (example; four deliveries were late due to production issues, three deliveries were late due to inaccurate quotes on lead time, etc.). These process indicators would be calculated the same way (Three quote issues for the total number of shipments for the month is the metric for quote performance).

Look at what the data is telling you.. Ask yourself, “Are there any trends? Can we do something to improve our performance?”

• We stock and maintain a variety of over 5,000 different OEM replacement parts for all types of precision gages.

The purpose of collecting and reporting on the data is to pinpoint trends of issues that can be resolved to improve processes, not to retrieve data for charts and graphs to present at a meeting!

• In addition to repairs and sales, the convenience of NIST traceable calibrations can be provided.

2019

Some 12,838,000 million Americans held manufacturing jobs in April 2019. That’s 12 percent more than in April 2010, it’s the highest total since December 2008. Overall, the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.6 percent in April 2019—the lowest rate since December 1969.

As great as those numbers are, they could be even better. Talk to manufacturers anywhere in the country, and they’ll tell you their top challenge is the inability to attract skilled workers.

Minnesota manufacturers are no exception. More than 8,300 manufacturing companies are located in the North Star State, but they continue to lose talent to other fields like healthcare and high tech. To understand why, business and technology consulting firm West Monroe Partners polled 1,000 Minnesota workers aged 18 to 40.The results are thought-provoking.

While 70 percent of Minnesotans perceive the industry positively, 75 percent have never worked in manufacturing and 44 percent would not consider a career in manufacturing. Outside of compensation, respondents listed the following as the top things manufacturers could do to be more attractive places to work: • Provide clearly defined career advancement opportunities (44 percent).

• Make the work environment safer (42 percent).

• Provide job security, even in the face of advances in automation (41 percent).

• Fifty-six percent of Minnesotans say they would consider working in manufacturing, and this percentage increases if they were exposed to manufacturing careers through family members in the industry or through education during their youth.

Thirty-one percent have not worked in manufacturing because they do not have the right education or training. Minnesotans believe manufacturing companies are tech-forward, but the rise of automation holds them back from pursuing long-term careers in the industry. Three in four respondents think manufacturers use technology to its fullest potential, but Minnesotans are split as to whether that’s good or bad. Half think automation will replace jobs, but 48 percent also think it will create new job opportunities in areas like customer service, technology and engineering.

“Given the majority of the population doesn’t want to work in manufacturing, education about the benefits and changing digital environment needs to start early,” says Dennis McRae, leader of the firm’s consumer and industrial products industry team. “In fact, our poll showed Minnesotans who learned about manufacturing careers before they turned 18 were more likely to have a positive perception of the industry and consider launching a career there.That early education can be new trade programs focused on using advanced digital manufacturing technologies or involvement in the youth community at large.”

Manufacturers have done a lot to improve the perception of their industry in recent years. “Manufacturing Day” and other events have certainly helped. Clearly, more needs to be done. Source: Assembly Magazine; by: John Sprovieri

Albuquerque Manufacturers To Relocate Under One Roof Albuquerque manufacturers Marpac Inc. and Sierra Peaks Corp., owned

by John Rockwell III, are set to operate under one roof, reports the Albuquerque Journal.

Rockwell acquired a 40,000-square-foot facility at 4801 Lincoln Road NE and will invest about $3 million to renovate the building, reports the Journal.

Marpac, a medical device manufacturing company, frequently finds itself on Business First’s Best Places to Work list.

Sierra Peaks, which makes microphones and security equipment, also made an appearance on the Best Places toWork list in 2018. Earlier this year, Sierra Peaks was contracted to work on electric charging platform Go-Station to integrate different parts of the charging technology, according to previous Business First reporting.

Sierra Peaks closed on a deal to purchase Albuquerque-based Mechtronic Solutions Inc. in 2017.

Marpac and Sierra Peaks ranked No. 10 and No. 11, respectively, on Business First’s List of largest New Mexico manufacturing companies and had 42 and 32 full-time New Mexico employees, respectively, as of October.

Honeywell Aerospace Partners With Air Taxi Developers For Future Air Transportation

Steve Brecken, a Honeywell Aerospace spokesman, said the technologies needed for urban air mobility fit well into the company’s portfolio.

Honeywell Aerospace is working with a number of air taxi developers and suppliers to provide technology for this growing urban air mobility segment of future transportation options.

“It’s an exciting time for us and it’s exciting to be a part of this,” said Brecken.

Honeywell Aerospace has recently signed agreements with Jaunt Air Mobility, Denso, Vertical Aerospace,Volocopter, Pipistrel and an unnamed air taxi developer to supply various technologies for urban air mobility aircraft that vertically take off like a helicopter.

Honeywell Aerospace is among the state’s largest employers with 6,800 local employees. By Hayley Ringle – Reporter, Phoenix Business Journal

Air taxis are expected to roll out within the next five years in big cities with traffic congestion issues, said David Syms, director of radar for Honeywell Aerospace in Phoenix.

“The industry is moving fast,” Syms said. “They’re looking at rooftops of parking garages with pads, or vertiports, for short point-to-point rides.”

Uber Technologies Inc. plans to roll out its on-demand, urban aviation service Uber Air in the next several years, with the first launch cities in Dallas-Fort Worth and Los Angeles.

Honeywell Aerospace was expected to unveil its compact fly-by-wire system for urban air vehicles at the Uber summit. The system has essentially the capabilities of an airliner’s flight controls crammed into a small system the size of a paperback book.

The fly-by-wire system is designed to bring agility, stability and safety to future electric vehicle takeoff and landing aircraft.

Honeywell is also providing its new IntuVue RDR-84K band radar system for an unnamed U.S. air taxi developer, Syms said. (A Honeywell spokesman said the unnamed company plans to unveil its name soon.)

Arizona Ranks High In Residential Solar In National Report As the U.S. solar market saw its best first quarter in history, Arizona remained near the top for residential solar capacity.

Arizona had 52.83 total megawatts of solar capacity installed during the first quarter, and ranked third best in the country for residential solar with 41.9 megawatts, according to the latest U.S. Solar Market Insight report from the Solar Energy Industries Association andWood Mackenzie Power & Renewables.

A year ago, Arizona ranked seventh best with 67 total megawatts, according to the SEIA report.

A r i z o n a maintained its third-largest solar installation r a n k i n g nationally in 2018, according to the latest year-in-review report released in March.

The U.S. installed 2.7 gigawatts of solar in the first three months of the year, which makes it the most solar ever installed in the first quarter of a year, according to the Q1 report.

Wood Mackenzie forecasts 25% growth this year compared to last year.

The U.S. hit the 2 million milestone for the number of solar installations during Q1 2019, according to SEIA. “The first quarter data and projections for the rest of the year are promising for the solar industry,” Abigail Ross Hopper, SEIA’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “However, if we are to make the kind of progress we need to make the 2020s The Solar Decade, we will need to make substantial policy and market advances.”

What is believed to the largest solar farm in Pinal County is in the works.

The planned 100-megawatt solar project in Coolidge by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Inc. is expected to be operational by the end of 2020.

Now An AS9100 Revision D Company With The Help of Consulting Group BMSC Cleveland Electric Laboratories (CEL) Advanced Technologies Group is pleased to announce that it successfully certified to ISO 9001:2015 / AS9100D with the help of consulting group BMSC. The company, headquartered in Twinsburg, Ohio, will celebrate its 100th year in business next year.

In 2004, it opened its Advanced Technologies Group in Tempe, AZ. Between the 2 locations, CEL employs 115 people, and more than 1/3 of the team works in the Tempe location.

Rodger Shepherd, Vice President and head of the Tempe operations, says, “CEL opened for business servicing electric meters for the rail industry and today our primary product lines are: • Industrial Thermocouple Products • Turbine Engine Testing & Instrumentation • Prototype and Small Batch Precision Machining • Fiber Optic Sensing Solutions.”

The company’s customers include nearly every land and aerospace turbine engine manufacturer in the world, and today they are approved to manufacture parts for both ground and flight test, up to small batch production, for their customers.

Two years ago, CEL AdvancedTechnologies Group acquired the machine tool assets of one of their long-term suppliers, Hamilton Industries. Rodger says, “Through this acquisition, we offer our customers precision machining and fabrication for prototype/small batch production for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, semiconductor, commercial, mining and automotive.We can offer CNC machined parts up to 42” diameter, milling up to 5 axis, and we have a full suite of manual mill and lathe equipment.”

In the past few years, CEL Advanced Technologies customers suggested that they could increase the scope and volume of work they gave to the company if it were AS9100 certified.Travis Smith, Quality Assurance Manager for the company, says, “We contacted 5 or 6 precision machine shop owners/colleagues in the Phoenix area to get their input on our certification.” He continued, “Overwhelmingly, we were told to utilize a consultant to help achieve the certification. Almost unanimously, we heard ‘You don’t want to do this yourselves’” Rodger says, “We interviewed Bretta Kelly, owner of BMSC, for our AS9100 consultant. We didn’t interview other consultants because these same precision machine shops who said we’d need a consultant, also all recommended Bretta.”

In January of this year, Rodger and the CEL Tempe team signed the agreement to work with BMSC, and in April, the company had successfully certified to AS9100 Revision D! Rodger says, “Regardless of additional business gained, AS9100 certification was absolutely worth it. It has already made us a better company — we are more confident in the quality of our products and in the efficiency in which we A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

80 • July / August

2019

manufacture our products.”

Travis says, “The certification process was less painful than we expected. We already had so many of the processes in place — in fact, our AS9100 certification actually reduced paperwork.

Our Quality Manual went from 79 pages to 13!”

“Our philosophy is to bring in experts in everything we do”, Rodger says. “I was absolutely shocked that we were able to accomplish AS9100 certification in under 4 months”, he added.

Travis adds, “It couldn’t have gone any better than it did. Bretta and her colleague Debbie Hart were outstanding. They are a well run machine, each knowing and working off the other’s strengths and weaknesses.” Rodger says that throughout the process, he would receive emails on weekends and evenings from the BMSC team. “They are so professional, knowledgeable and hard working”, he adds.

CEL Advanced Technologies Group, now certified to AS9100 Revision D, including engineering and design capabilities, is ready to take on more work. “We have capacity, we have the certification, and we excel at complex, difficult to machine metals.”

Dreaming of lights-out machining?

Do it right with a Linear Pallet System from Doosan.

Picture it. You program your horizontal machining center on Friday. You turn out the lights, lock up the shop and have yourself a great weekend. You return Monday morning with pallets upon pallets of precise, ready-to-ship parts.

That’s what you get with a Linear Pallet System from Doosan. A single LPS allows for up to 99 pallets and supplies up to 7 Doosan horizontal machining centers.

Want to know more? Talk to your local Doosan distributor and get ready to fire a couple acronyms at them: “I want an LPS for my HMC.” Learn more at DOOSANMACHINETOOLS.COM

Proudly representing Doosan Machine Tools for 23 years.
