Contract manufacturers provide the electronics industry with expertise ranging from PCB microelectronics for implantable medical devices, to sheet metal fabrication of large enclosures

A small electronics contract manufacturer offers manufacturing processes typical of a larger, Tier-1 company.

Teaming with insert manufacturers that offer engineering expertise throughout the design and manufacturing process can be worth its weight in gold.

MIT researchers developed a miniature “electro-adhesive” stamp that can pick up and place down objects as small as 20 nanometers wide—about 1,000 times finer than a human hair. Another team of engineers developed a method to produce aerospace-grade composites that could help speed the manufacturing of airplanes and other large, high-performance composite structures.

A new 3D printing technique achieves rapid and continuous switching between up to eight different printing materials.

New technology developed by researchers at Georgia Tech and Florida State University could make high-power DC circuit breakers feasible. And researchers from Georgia Tech and Northwestern University may have unlocked the principles of a potentially new locomotion technique by building a robot entirely from smaller robots

Purdue University engineers have developed a way that the millions of tiny switches used to process information—called transistors—could also store that information as one device.
In another case, Purdue researchers discovered the ability of a material to hide a target by masking its telltale heat properties.

A postdoctoral researcher reveals some surprising features of a superconductor that might be the best material to build robust quantum computers

RMFI’s Goglia looks to target key markets, boost output with new machines

Armed with new data since he last spoke with Design-2-Part magazine, Reshoring Initiative Founder Harry Moser makes a compelling case for manufacturing in America

As companies face economic uncertainties, many see strong relationships with their customers, suppliers, and other key stakeholders as a key to long-term growth.

A U.S.-based sensor manufacturer responds quickly to customers’ needs.
