Boeing has increased its B-737 production from 35 aircraft per month in 2012 to 52 aircraft per month in 2018, with the expectation of increasing production by another five planes per month in 2019. Airbus is increasing A320 production from a rate of 50 aircraft per month in 2017 to 60 aircraft in 2019. If both manufacturers meet their 2019 targets, narrow-body production will have increased more than 50% from 2012 to 2019.

"Worst thing comes to worse, I f—king die a tragic death and I’m not able to see out my dreams, I at least want to know that the kids perceived my message and were able to make something of themselves and use it to turn it into something positive," he said into the camera. "If I’m going to die or ever be a sacrifice I want to make sure that my life made at least 5 million kids happy." 

That versatility has led large groups of users to embrace Discord as a place to meet and chat with people who have similar interest, not just friends. It’s part communications app, part social media portal. While the chat room side of the app, in which users can join public or private “servers,” is probably its most popular, it also provides a social forum that’s great for organizing people to play games as well. Essentially, you don’t need video games to make Discord useful: It’s extremely handy for joining with groups of friends in a private server, or meeting like-minded folks in public ones.

Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling himself, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?”

The capabilities of AM technologies are introducing a new world to manufacturing, providing cost savings, labor savings, weight reductions, and part simplification – changes that could significantly impact the supply chain. Parts and sub-assemblies typically die cast and/or machined as separate pieces can now be 3D-printed as a single item. Fewer parts and sub-assemblies mean less tooling and labor, reducing processes along the manufacturing chain and speeding time to market.

The output of the modules ranges from 14,699 lm down to 219 lm. In addition to providing more total output the module operates more efficiently with higher lumens per watt and increased thermal conductivity. Fulham, says that the LP-LinearHO DC LED Modules lets OEMs more easily meet the DLC Premium performance requirements, and it gives designers greater flexibility.

Steps in today’s production scenario include designing the production part, designing the equipment and molds to produce a prototype, testing the prototype, revising the prototype and the tooling, and repeating the process. AM eliminates the time and expense for tooling and retooling, moving directly to prototype. Prototype updates can be made in CAD files, allowing companies to quickly make multiple design iterations. According to a Deloitte study (see sidebar below), research has shown that when aerospace and defense (A&D) companies switch from traditional manufacturing to AM, time savings in prototyping range from 43% to 75%. This is important to an industry where backlogs have become the norm.

California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading!

They started their packing supply business in 1980. “Dick quit his job, we’d just built this house, we had three little kids,” Mrs. Uihlein once said. Their son Brian, a Uline executive who was inducted into the American Platform Tennis Association Hall of Fame — the sport is a family favorite — has said the business operation “went down to the basement, then it moved up to the playroom upstairs.”

Boeing is now 3D printing titanium parts for the 787 Dreamliner, which will be the first printed structural components designed to bear the stress of an airframe in flight. With this approach, Boeing can save up to $3 million per jet.

Aerial and ground photos—taken June 13 and obtained exclusively by AMM—show the stockpile, which consists of extruded shapes, likely produced on 10- to 14-inch extrusion presses, with a weight-per-foot ratio of roughly four to 10 pounds per foot. The shapes also appear to be uniformly cut to the same length and arranged in similar size bundles, with dunnage for strapping made from extruded aluminum rather than wooden blocks.
