1 Deals, Openings, Acquisitions, Partnerships, Orders, Expansions, Awards Mexico Still Ranks as Top Near-Shoring Choice With continued rising labor and other manufacturing firm s Transportation Practice. As manufacturing costs have costs for overseas imports from China and other increased in China and elsewhere in Asia, the cost and time countries, near-shoring increasingly is being factors involved in shipping goods across vast distances are viewed as an opportunity to better serve US demand, according to a recent report by Alix- Partners LLP (New York), a global business advisory firm. The company says about half of C-level and other senior executives of manufacturingoriented companies interviewed see nearshoring as attractive. Manufacturing inside the US is viewed as the most attractive choice for such re-sourcing, by 35% of those surveyed, up from 21% in a similar survey a year ago. According to the AlixPartners Manufacturing Re-shoring and Near-shoring Outlook Survey, 50% of executives interviewed in the current survey view last year s top choice, Mexico, as the top choice again this year. While Mexico remains most attractive for near-shoring, reshoring The survey results also suggest that rising manufacturing to the US gained 14% among executives surveyed. domestic demand in developing countries such as China may encourage even more near-shoring and magnified and, whether it s in Mexico or the US, any company reshoring in the West in the future, as companies in China that s not at least considering alternative manufacturing sources and other developing markets redirect their capacity toward closer to their home market is certainly missing an opportunity. local consumption rather than export, with over a third, 34%, As in last year s survey, lower freight costs and improved of executives predicting that would be the case. speed-to-market were the two most-cited advantages ex- Image courtesy AlixPartners LLP As manufacturing costs have increased in China and elsewhere in Asia, the cost and time factors involved in shipping goods across vast distances are magnified. A lot has been written of late about America s manufacturing rebound, and there certainly has been a very impressive rebound; however, Mexico still remains the near-shoring locale of choice for companies looking to overcome the higher costs of doing business today in places like China, says Foster Finley, managing director at AlixPartners and co-lead of the pected from the decision to near-shore. Thirty-seven percent of executives cited hoped-for lower freight costs, up from 34% in the 2011 survey, and 31% pointed to speed-to-market, up from 28% a year ago. Significantly, and perhaps hand-in-hand with both of those, 26% cited lower inventory costs as the biggest expected advantage, up from 20% last year. July 2012 ManufacturingEngineeringMedia.com 21
2 While total cost parity certainly doesn t exist today, the gap between manufacturing in North America and in places like China has narrowed dramatically, especially when shipping and inventory carrying costs are factored into the equation, notes Russ Dillion, a director at AlixPartners. Company leaders, at an increasing rate, are realizing that customers don t have the patience to wait three to four weeks for their products to cross the ocean. Today s speed of business usually won t allow for that. The outlook for the security and safety situation in Mexico, an important factor in any decision to relocate manufacturing there, was essentially unchanged in this year s survey. About half of those surveyed each year, 45% last year and 43% this year, say they expect modest improvement in the security and safety situation, while 13% said they think it will worsen somewhat, vs. 14% in last year s survey. Only 4% predicted the situation will be spiraling out of control, down from 7% who thought that a year ago. The survey also asked executives in this election year about the US government s role in promoting the reshoring of manufacturing jobs to America. While a majority say there are useful actions the government can take (including cutting corporate tax rates), a sizeable number (31%) say there is nothing at all the government can do, and only 3% note that lower healthcare costs a big part of this year s political debate would lead to more reshoring. The AlixPartners Manufacturing Re-shoring and Nearshoring Outlook Survey was conducted March 7 to April 27, and included responses from 116 C-level and other senior executives in manufacturing-oriented companies that sell into the US market. Respondents were from a broad range of middle-market (at least $100 million in annual revenues) and large companies, in a broad range of industries, including automotive, aviation, consumer products, durable goods and packaging. For more information on the report, visit Additive Manufacturing Surging Additive manufacturing and 3-D printing are riding a wave of popularity, as lower-cost 3-D printers make their impact along with increasing adoption of direct metal manufacturing methods. The additive manufacturing industry s compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was 29.4% in 2011, according to the latest Wohlers Report 2012, an in-depth analysis of additive manufacturing (AM) and 3-D printing worldwide recently released by Wohlers Associates Inc. (Fort Collins, CO). The latest Wohlers Report marks the 17th consecutive year of its publication, a 287-page report including 30 charts and graphs, 55 tables, and 219 photographs and illustrations. The annual study was created with support from 71 service providers, 27 system manufacturers, and the valuable Image courtesy Wohlers Associates Inc. Direct part production in additive manufacturing has grown dramatically since 2003 to reach nearly 24% of additive s total product and service revenues in ManufacturingEngineeringMedia.com July 2012
3 contributions of 57 co-authors from 21 countries. Along with noting additive manufacturing s CAGR of 29.4% last year, the report states the CAGR for industry s 24-year history is 26.4%, and the AM industry is expected to continue strong doubledigit growth over the next several years. By 2015, Wohlers Associates believes that the sale of AM products and services will reach $3.7 billion worldwide, and by 2019, surpass the $6.5 billion mark. Additive manufacturing is the process of joining materials to make objects from 3-D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies. Additive manufacturing is used to build physical models, prototypes, patterns, tooling components, and production parts in plastic, metal, and composite materials. AM systems use thin, horizontal cross sections from CAD models, 3-D scanning systems, medical scanners, and video games to produce parts that can be difficult or impossible to produce any other way. No other organization has access to this depth of data and statistics, says Terry Wohlers, president of Wohlers Associates and a principal author of the new report. The information is used to track industry growth, provide views and perspective, uncover trends, and offer insight into the future of additive manufacturing. Major new parts on applications, materials and processes, and front- and back-end considerations were added. The final part of the report concludes with 19 trends that are expected to shape the future of the technology and industry. The study covers all aspects of additive manufacturing, including its history, applications, processes, manufacturers, and materials. It documents developments in the past year, covers R&D and collaboration activities in government, academia and industry, and summarizes the state of the industry in countries around the world. It also tracks the extraordinary growth of personal 3-D printers, machines priced under $5000, with the majority in the $1000 $2000 range. A free 24 ManufacturingEngineeringMedia.com July 2012

This adaptive control system was developed to increase machine tool productivity with Fanuc FA America s iadapts adaptive control solution. Fanuc s CNC Adaptive Control System measures the present value of the spindle load and then compares this value to a present value of a target spindle load. The adaptive controller is configured to control the feed rate of the machine tool relative to the workpiece to maintain the present value of the spindle load approximately equal to the present value of the target spindle load using one or more calculations of the first feed rate value, the first feed rate dither adjustment value and the second feed rate dither adjustment value. This adaptive control system is the base technology in Fanuc FA America s iadapts solution that improves material removal and minimizes cycle time by automatically optimizing the cutting feed rate based on the actual spindle load. Additionally, integration of the iadapts software solution within the CNC now eliminates the need for mounting hardware, simplifying installation while improving the capabilities of the original iadapt product. The company s original iadapt product introduced the concept of roughing cycle productivity to CNC customers. The On Demand control feature simplified the use of the adaptive control by making it easy to set up and operate; iadapts extends tool life by keeping roughing tools fully loaded, putting the heat into the chips rather than the part. As a result, there 26 ManufacturingEngineeringMedia.com July 2012
