Illustrative · AIFABTECH 2026 will run October 21-23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Returning to Las Vegas for the first time since 2016, the event will feature live demonstrations in automation, robotics, AI, welding, cutting and precision manufacturing technologies.
Illustrative · AISeveral themes stood out for additive manufacturing at IMTS 2026: more machine builders are offering production services, setup and calibration are becoming easier, robotic large-format systems are gaining flexibility, and drone manufacturing remains a major demand driver.
IllustrativeBellingham-based HEI Precision has organized equipment decisions around compatibility with automated cells. Its mix includes bar-fed twin-spindle turning centers, dual-pallet Brother machining cells with RoboJob loading, and palletized Matsuura four- and five-axis platforms.
Illustrative · AIQuickparts is deploying 12 Stratasys NEO800+ SLA 3D printers across four countries. The investment, tied in part to its Seattle aerospace and defense hub, is intended to raise large-format capacity and make production more repeatable across multiple sites.
Illustrative · AIFrom experimental facility to contract production, Atomic Industries is using in-cavity sensors and its Nucleus stack to create a closed loop between mold design and molding, with early results on cycle time and launch timing.
Illustrative · AIA Modern Machine Shop article outlines Shibaura Machine’s approach to hard milling on materials above 45 HRC. The core argument is that extremely consistent depths of cut, optical on-machine gaging, aerostatic spindles and thermal management can, in some cases, cut cycle time and hand finishing compared with EDM and grinding.
