SME

Here is a batch of our little Creative Design and Additive Manufacturing Lab bottle openers after effortless polishing. SME (formerly: Society of Manufacturing Engineers) is a nation-wide networking and technical organization for manufacturing professionals. It sponsors plant tours, seminars, networking events, technical papers and articles, manufacturing and lean certification exams and has technical interest groups, local chapters and industry forums. If a manufacturer does not account for surface finish characteristics like lube retention, micro burr removal, identification of torn and folded material, directionality, and load-bearing capability, the performance of components in the system cannot be predicted.
