Manufacturing, a place where metal and fluid work together in a delicately engineered dance to change inputs into a newly combined output. There is music in the moving parts, harmony in the ingenuity of human creativity. The machining of parts is a symphony drawn from human imagination which begins in a concept and completes as a usable tool for ever more creative machine design. This world, in the factory, is a place of hot and cold, a place of tension and release, a place of raw and refined. However, there is more to this secret world than meets the non-discerning eye.
Machining.Blog® is a weekly blog focused on manufacturing career development. It features blog articles on the fundamentals of manufacturing for aspiring machinists. Our goal is to create an interest in manufacturing in the USA. Our writer Matthew Schowalter has worked in manufacturing for 24 years, and he covers the topics that matter to someone starting their career in manufacturing.
“The soft skills the machinist uses are the unseen tools in their box and can directly impact the success or failure of a dreamed after machining career.”
