Here's how @MazakCorp is confronting those challenges through advances in unattended machining. https://t.co/XJqzzaPNNz https://t.co/Qset2rSpYL
A collaboration between @AerojetRdyne and @NASA is resulting in critical parts being 3D printed for new versions of the workhorse RS-25 engine. https://t.co/s0x3275xzl
