February 20206 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSIn the present time, as the global competitiveness in industry and production engineering becomes more cutthroat, it is of extreme importance to save time on the one hand and, the other hand keep an eye on increasingly higher costs of energy and raw materials. Manufacturing companies also see the need to fundamentally change or develop their approach to ensure that the final product meets the functional needs of its application. To achieve this growing demand, high precision manufacturing, and along with it, the development of new and improved high precision processes and machines has risen to prominence in the last decade. Nanotechnology, often described as the technology of the future, is already here and is playing a significant role in the super-precision manufacturing industry. A continuous process of improvement and integration, precision manufacturing enables manufacturers to reach tighter tolerances at a higher level of process control compared to just a few decades ago. The ongoing trend for product miniaturization is driving the demand for high precision manufacturing solutions. But, precision manufacturing does not just apply to the production of smaller items; the processes can be used for almost anything. Even leading steel fabricators in the U.S. have been transitioning to a precision manufacturing ecosystem. Beyond better process control, precision manufacturing also allows for an increased level of traceability required by industries from medical devices to automotive parts and assemblies.While a future where the manufacture of physical products will be wholly automated is still farther into the horizon, there is no doubt that the industry is moving in that direction. It is evident in the fact that leading fabrication partners are actively employing processes and technologies that enable precision manufacturing. Regardless of the industry, if companies want to remain competitive, they need to integrate these approaches into their production either internally or via a strategic fabrication partner.
