Read the June 2024 issue of ISMR on https://joom.ag/UVkd  In this issue, we analyse trends, growth patterns and drivers in global shipbuilding and marine markets for manufacturers (page 22). We also report from the MACH 2024 manufacturing trade show in the UK which featured live demonstrations; knowledge hubs; new product launches and seminars in April (page 20).

Manufacturing and machine tool trends, as well as macro-economic forecasts, are examined for Italy on page 30. You can also read our show preview of the IMTS 2024 manufacturing technology show in Chicago, USA (9-14 September 2024) on page 34. The benefits of combined levelling and deburring operations on a single production line for a German manufacturer are chronicled on page 38.

Don’t forget to read our research news section on page 16, with the latest new and collaborative worldwide initiatives and funding opportunities. One of the most widely used processes in sheet metal forming, deep drawing, is highlighted on page 42, and we present a selection of the latest stamping technologies, tooling and press innovations on page 46 of this issue. Robotic welding also comes under the spotlight in this issue.

We are very pleased and proud to celebrate ISMR’s 25th anniversary this year. We wish to celebrate this milestone event with our readers, supporters and advertisers and would like to thank you all for your support over the years. Please email any memories or particular highlights that illustrate sheet metal’s evolution over the years along with your industry views and key milestones to us on [email protected]
