Manufacturing Returns to the US
As technologies like automation and robotics continue to advance, manufacturers are reshoring their overseas operations. Investments in technology can yield significant cost savings – a single machine can increase productivity by as much as 70% yet only cost as much as a single employee’s annual salary. These improvements in technology and adoption of CAM software like Mastercam offset the labor costs that led many companies to go abroad in the first place. The future of manufacturing is quickly becoming one of domestic innovation where students with CAM experience will be highly sought after to fill the skills gap as baby boomers retire.
