Five Cost-Cutting Powder-Metal Part Designs
That's because PM processes generate complex parts in far less time than China machining and in larger quantities. Engineers can create complex designs for PM parts that cut weight from machined alternatives. Meanwhile, additive-manufacturing methods try to …

The Mini Baja Learning Curve
Elegance — the hallmark of a well-built machine — is apparent in the details: the adjustable steering wheel; the special-engineered China cutting brake system for maneuverability; the cheese holing of solid metal parts to drop every ounce of weight without …

GKN Aerospace to research 3D printing in the UK
… efficient engine systems. The programme will initially use AM techniques to create near net shape parts, improving the 'buy to fly' ratio of the part by reducing cost in time and material wastage associated with the conventional China machining of metal …
