Video: 5" Diameter Navy Artillery Rounds Made Through Robot DED Instead of Forging
Forging lead times present an obstacle the U.S. Navy wishes to overcome in obtaining the projectile housings for artillery rounds, says Big Metal Additive. The company has developed and proven out a process using directed energy deposition (DED) via a robot to make these housings through additive manufacturing. One robot and one lathe can produce housings at the rate of six per day, and the company is getting ready for an eventual AM factory that will make these rounds by the hundreds per day.

The Aztlan Theater’s Struggles Raise Questions About ‘Belonging’ in a Gentrified Denver
Chicano activist Timeo Correa says the story of the Aztlan Theater almost writes itself. The slanted maroon floors have welcomed everyone from ravers to community activists. Behind the stage is an old chimney from the days when it was a vaudeville theater. There’s a Rowe 200 selection stereo jukebox in the lobby filled with hits from Hispanic artists spanning decades, such as Tito Puente, Perez Prado, and Javier Solis. Paraphernalia from Spanish movies shown on the big screen, and tour photos from when Selena performed here are on the walls. From the used furniture that creates a makeshift lounge, you can imagine the likes of Metallica and the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing concerts here.
Avalanche Pluck Two From Penguins For Key Roles In Organization
There are two new faces in the Avalanche organization as of today, and the two of them probably know each already.
