Why Every Engineer Should Learn Machining?

Both engineers and machinists play a contributory role in the production process. However, they have interpersonal conflicts, such as machinists never follow engineer’s instructions and engineers never interpret their drawings properly. In order to have a close working relationship between engineer and machinists, all engineers should endeavor to gain some first-hand experience in machining. 

Engineers take on Machinists

Engineers and machinists are likely to have different backgrounds, interests, and standpoints on the manufacturing process. These variances can lead to misapprehensions and miscommunication. Learning the ins and outs of machining can give an engineer a complete insight of machine’s capability.  

Machinists take on Engineers

A common complaint from machinists is that engineers do not respect machinist’s expertise and do not clearly explain their requirement. According to machinists, issues of incomplete drawings and improper instructions can be avoided by bridging the gap of communication between machinists and engineers.

Learning Machining is important for an Engineer

In the current world, improving machining know-how is very important. An engineer having an understanding of machining can transfer engineering concepts into physical realizations and sometimes open their eyes to new opportunities and challenges.

The Future is Collaborative

The manufacturing process requires an ever-growing library of skills and knowledge. Above all, communication between machinists and engineers and faith in the experience and expertise of a team is important to make their work even better.

All in all, the manufacturing process can only be improved if machinists and engineers understand each other’s issues. Their collaborative efforts can accomplish great things in manufacturing.  

Engineering Education and Job Satisfaction

A couple of years back, a bachelor’s degree in engineering was assumed to be enough to achieve success in the career. But, with more competitiveness in the industries, the employers now seek candidates that hold advanced degrees in engineering. These degrees also helps the professional to move into job roles that are more challenging, highly paid, and with more responsibilities.

Recent research about degrees and job roles stated that:

  • Bachelor’s degree was the most common degree across the technical industries.
  • Master’s degree held the second highest position.
  • An exception was seen in the education sector that held a higher number of doctoral degrees.

Degree Types and Job Roles

Degrees plays a significant role in the employee job responsibilities. A match between the job roles and education is thus important for success. Therefore, people who wish to succeed in their career opt for advanced degrees in their field. It is often observed that:

  • Most of the successful people working in the same field of their education had both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree.
  • These professionals persuaded for a higher level of education to gain a deeper understanding of their fields and advance on their career paths.

Job Satisfaction

It is one of the most motivating factors to go for an advanced degree.

  • Most of the professionals believe that having a masters or a PhD degree helps them excel in their career.
  • It helps to gain an improvedbreadth of knowledge and expertise in their filed.
  • It gives professionals a higher level of job satisfaction and enjoyment of their tasks.
  • Lastly, it offers a high range of salary which gives them a feeling of satisfaction.

Does Digitalization Affect Manufacturing Economics?

Digitalization has revolutionized the entire manufacturing sector. The labor-intensive industry has transformed into a technology-driven industry. Technology such as 3-D printing, CNC machining, industrial internet of things (IIoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) have optimized the manufacturing operations and have considerably reduced the production and maintenance cost. The details of this technological impact on manufacturing are listed below:

  1. Economically Viable Mass Customization

Digital manufacturing helps automate front-end engineering associated with customization. Interactive design for manufacturing (DFM-Design for Manufacturing) tools helps to analyze the design components before manufacturing, which significantly reduces manufacturing risks and enhance productivity. Precisely, these tools improve traceability across the manufacturing process making it more flexible and efficient. Concisely, this digitalization decreases the tooling cost and makes customization economically feasible.

  1. Improved Product Design and Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is enabling manufacturing organizations to create new and improved products at a lower price. Under the additive manufacturing, engineers have design freedom and assembly reduction, which permits them to customize the product design according to the needs and demands of the industry and customers. Overall, the digital revolution is enhancing product quality, quantity, and variety.

  1. Low Maintenance Cost and Downtime

Machine learning and AI(Artificial Intelligence) could effectively reduce the maintenance and downtime cost. It is because planned and anticipated maintenance is more efficient compared to maintenance of unplanned problems. So, digital manufacturing helps to anticipate potential risks which eventually reduces the cost incurred due to unexpected events.

  1. Generating Revenue by Accelerating Production

Digital Manufacturing automates the process of design analysis, toolpathing, and front-end processes. This automation helps in the easy prototyping of product which in turn simplify the supply chain management. With the readily modeled design, manufacturers could enhance the procurement process and subsequently reduce the production time. As a result, the product is launched to the market in time, and high revenues are generated benefitting the manufacturing firm.

Overall, with the digitalization of the manufacturing industry, the labor-intensive work has reduced, and the productivity has increased exponentially. Consequently, the profits have escalated the cost of productivity and maintenance have decreased. All in all, the useful technology innovation in the manufacturing sector have benefitted the overall industry and have paved the way for improved production.

5G in Space

The fifth generation of mobile communication is on its way to bridge the numerous gaps by its preceding technologies. Most of the network issues arise when people wish to watch 4K videos, video chat or when they want to interact with the different IoT devices.

Similar problems occur in the satellite communication mechanism. As more and more satellites are launched into the space, they face issues in transferring data. The 5G technology can easily resolve such issues.

  • 5G uses high frequency for establishing communication between different devices.
  • These frequencies are in the range of 30 to 300 GHz.

Millimeter Wave Satellite

To make the communication better, researchers from the European Space Agency (ESA) are making efforts to develop satellites that will communicate on millimeter-wave frequencies. These satellites are named as W-Cube. Some of their features are:

  • Communication devices installed in these satellites will test and use the 75 GHz frequency band.
  • The body of these satellites will be based on Reaktor’s Hello World CubeSat platform.
  • They will weigh less than 5kg.

Finland based Reaktor Space Lab and the VTT Technical Research Centre will develop these satellites. The signals transferred by them will be observed at the measurement station in Graz, Austria. This technology will provide a unique opportunity to achieve high expertise in the field of telecommunication in the space.
