The September 2021 issue of International Sheet Metal Review (ISMR) is now online.

In this issue of ISMR, we outline next steps in welding robotics and the rise of the Internet of Things in our interview with CLOOS (page 18). The march to Net-Zero, COVID-19 impacts, challenges and opportunities in global power generation markets are highlighted on page 22.

We chart the U.S.’s path through the pandemic, with forecasts and growth projections for its economy and manufacturers (page 26). You can also read our interviews with Produtech (page 30) and Timesavers (page 56) in this issue.

As an official international media partner again at this year’s Blechexpo/Schweisstec in Stuttgart, Germany, ISMR also previews the event on page 35, as well as selected hall snapshots (starting on page 40). Come and meet the ISMR team at its booth 1400 in Hall 1.

You can also uncover a selection of the latest global stamping innovations on page 64. Ethical manufacturing (page 70), surface finishing (page 72) and fibre laser cutting (page 76) also come under the spotlight in this issue.
