Manufacturing is a lengthy process with numerous steps involved. If you are into healthcare, defense, aerospace, marine, oil, gas, or transportation, you must be familiar with the amount of effort it ...

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has had a major impact on the contemporary design and production process. First developed in 1988 with the aim of allowing for rapid prototyping, ...

Modern manufacturing processes and technologies form the backbone of advanced industrial production, enabling the precise fabrication of components across aerospace, automotive, electronics, and ...

Process control is moving forward as quickly as data collection and processing can carry it, and a recent research effort demonstrated how fast and flexible, and adaptive, machining operations can be.

Even after 20 years or so, process control continues to be a confusing or misunderstood technology. A short description of process control is an accurate one—It’s a means of controlling manufacturing ...

Overlay control based on DI metrology of optical targets has been the primary basis for run-to-run process control for many years. In previous work we described a scenario where optical overlay ...
