As a lead-up to the event, a series of five interviews with executives at General Motors, Ford Motor CO., and Deere & Co. has been posted to the conference website. In one interview, GM's John Catterall, GSSLT (global sub-system leadership team) leader, underbody structure, discusses his expectations for increased use of lasers in manufacturing, in particular for additive manufacturing. And in another interview, Ford's Raj Sohmshetty, group leader --advanced steel technology, Manufacturing Research Department, R&A Engineering, discusses recent projects undertaken by his research team, including a look at ways to improve material utilization in stamped assemblies, and projects looking at third-generation advanced high-strength and press-hardenable steels. Read the interviews—all quick one-page reads—here. |
