On page 20 , we outline the process benefits for manufacturers , as well as growth forecasts , new product design possibilities and evolving industry trends for additive manufacturing .
Manufacturing and machine tool trends in Turkey , as well as the country ’ s economic outlook and partnerships for growth , are examined on page 32 . You can also read our show previews of the BI-MU ( Italy ) and FABTECH ( USA ) manufacturing trade shows on pages 28 and 42 , respectively .
Health and safety is a key focus of this issue as Phil Haskins outlines the dangers of dust in the sheet metal workplace and how to effectively combat them ( page 44 ). We also profile BENTELER who has expanded its green product portfolio to maintain a pioneering role in sustainable steel and steel tube solutions ( page 36 ).
A selection of the latest press brake technologies and tooling for sheet metal bending can be found on page 48 . Laser cutting , Smart Factory and AI solutions also come under the spotlight in this issue .
