does anyone know good magazines/trade publications that can keep us updated with the newest processes, materials, etc.
magazines like ID, innovation, intramuros, form are great and all, but they don’t have the depth that i’m looking to find - insight on the newest manufacturing technologies.
Machine Design is a great one for mechanical stuff; bits and pieces, materials, supplirs. It used to be a ‘free’, controlled distribution, magazine that was paid for by the advertisers. As such, it was hard to get a subscription. As long as you work for a big company you’ll probably be able to qualify. The sunscription requirements may be easier to meet now.
Modern Plastics is a good one for … well, plastics.
