Here at NeMAC, we love cool manufacturing technology. From CNC machines, to lathes, to 3D printers, we love it all. And in our post about manufacturers on Pinterest yesterday, we mentioned a favorite of ours–GE. One of GE’s Pinterest boards, Badass Machines, features hundreds of pins about “the biggest and baddest technologies produced by GE.” GE […]
If you’d have told us six months ago that Pinterest would be a great spot for manufacturers to hang out online, we’d have told you that you were crazy. Awesome machines and manufacturing equipment on a site known for DIY projects and cute clothes? Not a chance. But as it turns out, there are a lot of […]
It’s one thing for us to talk about reshoring, and it’s another thing entirely to really start to see reshoring in action. And as it turns out, the latter is exactly what we’re starting to see now. A new survey by Boston Consulting Group, published today, shows a big jump “in the number of companies […]
There’s no better way to become familiar with STEM education than by listening to the teachers themselves. And today, we thought we’d take a look at what manufacturing education looks like by talking with Mike Berg, an instructor at Southeast Community College’s Precision Machining and Automation program. Here’s the full text of our interview with […]

The article, called “The Decline of College,” was written by Victor Hanson, a nationally syndicated columnist for Tribune Media Services. The main point of the article is this: for as long as many […]
In a previous post, we covered 5 things you probably didn’t know about manufacturing–after all, it’s always good to learn something new! But one manufacturing technology that continues to surprise us is 3D printing. It’s come quite a long ways since it was thrust into the spotlight a few years ago, and it continues to get more […]
It should be pretty clear by now that we’re not the only ones who are interested in getting our youth educated about manufacturing and the skilled trades. From organizations like Dream It Do It Nebraska, to the national organization Mike Rowe Works, there are a lot of people and organizations out there who are helping […]
Education is very important to us here at NeMAC, and MIT–yep, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, famous worldwide for its engineering school–is trying something out that should make the Maker in all of us proud. MAKE Magazine published an article yesterday where they mentioned MIT’s new admissions feature: a new Maker Portfolio supplement on the MIT Admissions web site which […]
