In the first week of December 2018, VEXTEC’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee played host to the co-located meetings for the Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) and the working group for Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Materials Shortages (DMSMS). These are the premier annual meetings related to the [...]
ASTM’s Symposium on Structural Integrity of Additive Manufactured (AM) Parts was held in the first week of November in Washington, DC. Being part of ASTM’s Committee Week, the symposium was sponsored by a number of ASTM Committees (F42 – Additive Manufacturing Technologies; E08 – Fatigue [...]

VEXTEC’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee is the site of this year’s co-located meetings of the Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS). VEXTEC staff will be on-hand all week long in the Exhibition Hall (Booth #151) to answer questions and give demonstrations of our [...]
VEXTEC is excited to be participating in this year’s ASTM Symposium on Structural Integrity of Additive Manufactured Parts. The symposium, co-sponsored by multiple ASTM Committees, takes place during ASTM Committee Week (November 4-9 in Washington, D.C.). […]
The largest time chunks in any product’s life cycle are in the design and engineering phases. This is because there are questions that need to be answered, both in how the product will perform and how the product itself will be made. Each of these [...]
Published October 2018 Featured Article: Focus on Additive Manufacturing VEXTEC will be in Washington D.C., presenting at the ASTM Symposium on Structural Integrity of Additive Manufactured Parts (November 7, 2018). During ASTM’s Committee Week, Dr. Robert Tryon (VEXTEC Chief Technology Officer) will present on our deployment of VPS-MICRO® probabilistic computational fatigue [...]
In Part I of this blog series, we give a brief history of Additive Manufacturing (AM), as well as some of the obstacles that are still holding AM back. Everyone is excited about the potential of this technology, but it’s quite a different thing to have sufficient confidence in [...]
In our last blog on the topic of corrosion, we discussed how corrosion control can be a “headache”, and how controlling corrosion implies controlling the man-made contributors such as corrosion fatigue, which is a very dominant corrosion factor. Nowadays, integrated computational material engineering (ICME) and recent [...]
Read Part II of Blog Series The history of customization is as ancient as the history of design. And there are three principles that have governed the need for customization – form, fit and function. Intimately intertwined with this quest for customization is the [...]
