As biopharmaceutical companies expand facilities and reshore some manufacturing operations, the industry faces a shortfall of trained workers for its manufacturing facilities. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics recently predicted some 19,000 jobs would be created, PhRMA last year predicted the creation of 100,000 new jobs. Both predictions leave...

Continuous composites has received a multi-year contract from the U.S. Army DEVCOM Aviation and Missile Center. The focus is on the further development of CF3D technology, an additive manufacturing process for fiber-reinforced composite structures. The goal is to make components for current and future missile platforms more manufacturable while...
