In this issue of ISMR, we examine the global market for industrial robotics and highlight investments, applications, key trends and benefits for users (page 20). We also preview Subcon, the UK’s largest subcontract manufacturing supply chain show, from 7-8 June 2023 on page 34. 

Trends, drivers and challenges in global construction markets are outlined on page 30 whilst macro-economic forecasts for Italy and a review of its manufacturing and metalforming sectors can be found on page 44. We also present a selection of some of the latest global tube and pipe forming innovations (including cutting and bending) on page 52.

We chronicle the factors to consider when choosing sheet metal CAD/CAM software to meet your needs, now and in the future, on page 60. Sheet metal bending specialist, JEAN PERROT, shared its partnership approach to success with us on page 38. Robotic welding, waterjet cutting and surface finishing technologies also come under the spotlight in this issue.
