Greetings!

It's easy to fall for the media's myths regarding global competition, and it's even easier to use these myths as a scapegoat for manufacturing failures. Thankfully, the reality is not as bleak, and strategic options are available to those that do their research. With the United States currently ranking second in the 2009 Global Competitiveness Index there are sure to be new opportunities and markets to take advantage of.

The fast-growing micro-milling segment opens up new opportunities for mold makers to enter a lucrative market niche and differentiate themselves from lower-wage competitors. At the same time, with sub-micron tolerances and tool tips that can hardly be seen by the naked eye, micro- milling presents mold makers with numerous challenges. Download the Mold Maker's Guide to Micro-Milling and get practical tips for capitalizing on the growing demand for micro-milling.

The misfortune of those molders that will not survive the current downturn brings about another need that mold makers can take advantage of. As molds are transferred from failed molders to other molding companies, mold makers can offer services that help ensure a smooth and effective move of these tools.

A local tool shop that knows a little something about combating competition and surviving even the Midwest's economic turmoil is Nortool Precision Machining and Tool. One of the secrets of their success has been the migration to one CAD/CAM software for design, NC and quoting. This transformation has resulted in efficient processes, faster and more accurate quoting, and more customers. Read the full story.
