We’ve written before about the advantages of wire EDM machining in mold making. Before getting started on your next project, there are several factors to consider for optimizing EDM productivity. First, it’s time to reevaluate the kind of wire you’re…
Ohio has become a global leader in advancing next-generation manufacturing. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Ohio offers industry leaders massive manufacturing output, unrivaled market access, investment in science and engineering, a talented pool of engineers and engineer techs, and a large…
There’s a growing demand in the electric vehicle market for both personal cars and fleet trucks and busses. Much technology has advanced around these applications, with batteries themselves benefitting from an increased focus on development. One of the most promising…
We’ve written about it before, but the days of cheap China (and other Asian countries) really do seem to be coming to an end. According to the thomasnet.com platform, sourcing for custom injection molding is up 35% over its all-time average. American…
One of the most promising technological developments in recent years, in-mold electronics are poised to change both electronics and plastics manufacturing. In-mold electronics are devices created by printing with conductive inks and transparent conductive membranes effectively creating an electronic “smart skin” that…
urrent economic indicators show that with low employment and churn rate (employee turnover/attrition rate), job stability has remained largely unchanged from 1950-2000 and has actually increased in the last 15 years. In fact, investment in automation is somewhat low, with only a…
Plastics play a critical role in so many parts of our lives. Their combination of durability, light weight and adaptability have made them a cornerstone of modern manufacturing and technology. However, there can be a downside to many of the…
Imagine being able to add touchscreen-like control to any surface. Sounds like real science fiction, but a small group of engineers are working to make it happen. Their new product, called Electrick, uses electric field tomography with an electrically conductive material…
At Laszeray we’re always looking forward to the technological trends that will define the future. One of the things that recently caught our interest was the “Bionic Leaf” project by Harvard Medical School. Although the prospects of a Laszeray facility on Mars…
Robotic End-of-Arm tooling (EOAT) is a critical automation technology that helps speed production, improve part quality, and meet demanding technical requirements. Robotic part handling with EOAT is a precise and safe way to ensure quality in the final stages of…
