Plasma cutting has been in use since the 1960s and is still the preferred method for automotive repair shops, fabrication shops, industrial construction sites and salvage operations. This is largely due to the high speeds and precision cuts these machines can achieve.

While it was rather time-consuming and expensive in the early days, advancements in technology and engineering techniques made it a more user-friendly, economical and productive method. In this article, we discuss different plasma cutting methods, how it works, some of the applications and pros and cons.

It’s a little surprising that drones in manufacturing are not as widely used since the global drone market is expected to exceed $15 billion in 2022. Right now, drones in manufacturing account for less than 2% cent of the total drone deployment despite the countless benefits unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) present to several industries. In this post, we take a closer look at how drones can be used in manufacturing along with some of the regulations.
