3D Printing Compete or CoExist

3D Printing Compete or CoExist 3D Printing Compete or CoExist 3D Printing Compete or Co-Exist?Having proven its value for rapid prototyping, 3D printing is, for sure, having a major impact on the entwurf of products and consequently on the overall manufacturing process. But there is still debate about how far 3D printing will be extended. Will it replace much traditional manufacturing processes or exist alongside it?Vicki Holt, CEO of Proto Labs, which pioneered rapid manufacturing of custom parts by taking a 3D printing-like digital approach to the front end of the traditional, or subtractive, manufacturing processes of injection molding and computergesttzte numerische steuerung machining, believes 3D printing is opening opportunities for design flexibility but that its going to co-exist with traditional manufacturing processes.She says each process has its own benefits and its own drawbacks and a decision about which to choose depends on a number of factors.A Selective Laser Sinter ing part the part is shown on top of the powder from which it is made.3D printing brings another set of tools to the toolkit for design engineers, Holt says. It can make new product introductions faster and less expensive during the design phase. If Proto Labs business is any indication, design engineers are taking advantage of it. Holt says growth of her companys 3D printing business, which it acquired in April of last year with the purchase of FineLine Prototyping, Inc., grew by 79 percent in the first quarter of this year over first quarter last year (prior to the acquisition).As for being used for final versions of products or components, that is still in very early stages. A survey last year by Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) and ZPryme asked more than 100 industrial manufacturers how they were using 3D printing technology. Only 0.9 percent said they were using 3D printing for producing final products or components, but 24.6 percent said they were using 3D printing for prototypin g only, 28.9 percent said they were experimenting with how 3D printing may apply to their business, and 33.3 percent said they were not implementing 3D printing at that time.Proto Labs estimates that 90 percent of its 3D printing business is for prototyping compared to 75 percent for CNC machining and about 50 percent for injection molding. Holt says those are really estimates because they dont always know how the items they produce are going to be used.An image of a DMLS part showing the intricacy that can be achieved. 3D printing today is slow and expensive if you are going to produce a lot of a part, Holt says. Its much more cost effective to machine or injection mold. And also you are limited on the materials that have been developed for a 3D printer. Those are the things that need to be improved. There is a lot of work being done in those areas. I am confident there are going to be next generation machines that are beginning to assess that.She says much depends on a customers n eeds. Generally, ProtoLabs customers order a 3D-printed part when the maximum number is 50 or maybe 100 if its a small part. She identified the medical device market, aerospace, industrial machining and robotics as industries that are leading the way in using 3D printing.Part of the reason I think these industries tend to buy from us is that they do a lot of prototyping innovation and development and they need samples to go and develop their products, she says. If you are manufacturing one spacecraft, for example, you only need to print it once. You dont need millions, and for that you can develop a novel design that you couldnt do with a traditional manufacturing process and also collapse a number of parts into one. It might even be more efficient that way.PwC reported in an issue of its Technology Forecast magazine on emerging uses of 3D printing in several industry sectors including automotive and industrial manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, retail, and sports. Uses range fro m consolidation of several parts into a single, more complex part to customized medical products and safer protective gear.In fact, Ford, General Electric, and Medtronics are companies at the forefront Ford for auto parts, GE for jet engine parts, and Medtronics for prototyping medical devices. Holt says she is also starting to see some design engineers take a look at a whole assembly of parts and question whether there is a way to consolidate the parts, print the whole thing, and skip the assembly. This could bring about both cost savings and faster production, she says. That alone could be a gamechanger.Nancy S.

Glassdoor Study Finds LGBTQ Harassment Pervasive in Workplace

Glassdoor Study Finds LGBTQ Harassment Pervasive in Workplace Glassdoor Study Finds LGBTQ Harassment Pervasive in Workplace There’s no doubt that public sentiment towards LGBTQ individuals has largely improved over the past couple of decades. In just fifteen years, American support of same-sex marriage grew by 30 percentage points to 61 percent approval, according to the Pew Research Center . Meanwhile, transgender celebrities like Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner have ushered in a new era of visibility for trans-Americans. And most recently, the Equality Act - which would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity when it comes to employment, housing and more - passed in the House of Representatives.   But despite this progress, new data from Glassdoor shows that LGBTQ individuals still face significant discrimination in the workplace. In a Glassdoor survey conducted by The Harris Poll, more than half (53 percent) of LGBTQ employees reported that they have experienced or witnessed anti-LGBTQ comments by co-workers. Perhaps as a result of this prejudice, 43 percent of LGBTQ employees say they feel they are not fully “out” at work, with 47 percent of LGBTQ respondents saying that they believed being out at work could hurt their career, such as causing them to lose a job, get passed over for a promotion, or miss out on a key project. It’s no surprise, then, that LGBTQ employees prioritize supportive work environments when considering new jobs - 70 percent of LGBTQ respondents said they would not apply to work at a company that does not support its LGBTQ employees. Still, 68 percent of LGBTQ employees say that their current companies could be doing more to support them and their allies at work. “Still today, 26 states do not protect LGBTQ employees at work and many of these employees believe coming out could hurt their career. This is a wake-up call to employers and lawmakers,” said Jesus Suarez, Glassdoor’s LGBTQ and Ally Employee Group Leader. “Many employers have an opportunity to build or strengthen the foundation for an inclusive culture that encourages employees to bring their full selves to work.” If you encounter discrimination based on your gender identity or sexual orientation at work, you don’t have to put up with it. To begin with, document all instances of harassment or discrimination that you encounter in detail, says Stan Kimer, president of Total Engagement Consulting and former global corporate LGBTQ diversity manager for IBM. If you are confident that your company is LGBTQ-friendly, you may consider bringing it up to HR. A few signs that your company might be receptive to conversations around LGBTQ issues include the following: However, if you don’t feel comfortable approaching your HR department, or if you do approach them and they mishandle the issue, consider reaching out to one of the following organizations: For more tips, consult Glassdoor’s Workplace Guide for LGBTQ Professionals . Remember - everyone deserves to be comfortable at work, so if you feel as if you can’t be your authentic self, don’t be afraid to take action, whether that means approaching HR, confiding in a trusted colleague or even finding a new job at a more welcoming organization.       “We’re seeing a strong majority of LGBTQ employees wanting more support from their employers, and there are many ways to offer support that go beyond benefits and policies,” said Suarez. So how can you create a more welcoming work environment for LGBTQ employees? Consider the following steps: Creating a sense of welcoming and belonging for LGBTQ employees isn’t just the right thing to do - it’s also a business imperative. “Any employer that chooses to ignore implementing supportive working environments and policies risk missing out on hiring quality talent,” said Suarez. Survey Methodology: This survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Glassdoor from April 26 â€" May 6, 2019 among 6,104 U.S. adults ages 18 and older, among whom 515 are employed and identify as LGBTQ. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

Strategies to Kickstart Your Job Search in 2016

Strategies to Kickstart Your Job Search in 2016 Strategies to Kickstart Your Job Search in 2016 The new year is the perfect time to jump-start your job search. A new year means it’s time to try out some new strategies for kickstarting your job search. Whether you already have a job but are unhappy in your position, you’ve been unemployed and are searching for a way to pay the bills, or you are fresh out of school and are ready to begin your professional career, these tips can help you to get your foot in the door and start out the new year with interviews and job offers.Network, network, network.The best advice to remember during your job search is that human beings hire human beings. You may already have a stellar resume and outstanding references- but having that human connection can put you one step further than the rest of the crowd. Create and take advantage of opportunities to meet as many people as possible, both within your career field and outside of it. The best way to start this, if you are new to networking, is to attend industry conferences, join professional a ssociations, etc. Then it’s time to start striking up conversations with anyone who will listen. Hopefully, over time, you will build up a least a few helpful contacts within the industry that will be able to give you an edge on your applications.Start getting strategic.When you’re looking for a job, the simple search for an open position alone can get overwhelming. The best way to tackle this is to set up a step-by-step plan that you can take one day at a time. Create a plan of action to land a position. This plan should consist of your main goals, which will be landing a position. You should set up ways to search within your own field or industry, so you’re time on job boards is targeted and well spent. As mentioned before, utilize you network. You may have to call in some favors and pull strings, but that is what networking is for.Get your resume back up to speed.Even if you’ve recently updated your resume, this is something you should be doing constantly. Employers don†™t want to see that you’ve been slacking during the job search. If you are currently unemployed, set up volunteering opportunities that you can talk about during an interview. If you are employed but looking for a new position, work hard on that current project so that your efforts and contributions can be noticed. If you are in a creative field, keep your portfolio up-to-date with new examples added even during unemployment.Work on your social media.When you think about looking for a job, social media might not instantly come to mind. However, it can actually play a large role in you landing a job. Update all of your social media accounts- add relevant information, make sure they are work-friendly, add recent achievements. Interviewers do look at these accounts. One social media account you should particularly pay attention to is LinkedIn. This is often the first place hiring managers look. Always keep an updated resume and portfolio online. If you have new contributions from you r current position, make sure they are available to see.Take a break.This may seem counter-intuitive, but it is really true that you can wear yourself out from the job search. If this happens, you are not working at full-capacity when it comes to finding a job. If you can afford to, take a much needed week off from the search. Sometimes, it takes a small break for you to be able to see clearly with fresh eyes. You will also be amazed at your increase in mood and outlook towards the job search.

What to Never Say When Networking

What to Never Say When Networking What to Never Say When Networking Networking used to be organic. You went to a gathering of like-minded people in your community, or to lunch with individuals the host thought might like to get to know each other. Now it’s a job. Get to the right event. Meet the right people. Make that contact and follow up. And while there are plenty of stories of the ways people have wowed an executive with a memorable opening line or a particularly creative approach, there are far more networking fails than networking unicorns. There’s a fine line between innovative and inappropriate. Here’s what not to say when networking. 1. “I didn’t think there would be people here that I would actually   want to talk to.” The primary rule of thumb is “Be prepared. Be aware. Be wary.” Know why you’re going and the general purpose of the meet-up. Be alert to the people and the surroundings. Is everyone there in a suit and tie, talking about crunching numbers? Be wary of saying something that might be misconstrued, or is just idiotic. Listen first. Ask questions first. Don’t spout off, before you know who you’re talking to. 2. “Are there any job openings at your company because my boss is the absolute worst.” Never, ever trash your boss - present or past. I don’t care if your employers have been Frank Underwood and Miranda Priestly . Just don’t go there, even if you’re asked. This is the time to play it safe. Lots of smiling and evading are called for. Often times you don’t know who’s asking you or why. And for goodness sake, don’t bring it up yourself. 3. “My friends Zuck and Sheryl are meeting me for dinner after this…” Be careful about name dropping. Again, you may not know the other person’s opinions or experiences with the name you’re dropping. And this goes for name dropping well-known figures or just acquaintances. If unbeknownst to you, it’s her ex-brother-in-law who got her into Exxon stock, she may not be too happy to hear about your close relationship. 4. “That reminds me of this one time when I was at Oxford…” Some over-eager job seekers wedge their college or grad school into all conversations, especially if it’s a big logo institution. Be careful. People may be impressed. Or, they may be irritated, laugh at your expense or assume you’re the pretentious person you appear to be. Modesty is a good policy when you are networking, at least until you get a sense of your room. 5. “When I think about immigration, taxes, and healthcare, I just think…” Politics and religions. EEEEH. You may want to steer clear of both of these until you get the lay of the land. Dumping on Obama at a Dem heavy event is obviously not too smart, but then neither is trashing Trump when you have no idea of someone’s background or POV. 6. “Can you believe that new show on Scientology? That is so…” Religion is the same situation. Don’t start conversations by making fun of an individual or a group’s belief system. Humor at networking events can be filled with landmines. You just never know. 7. “If you ask any of my managers, they’ll tell you I’m a truly disruptive innovator and…” Don’t use outdated, over-used and badly applied clichés. These are sure to get eye rolls: Think out of the box. Disruptor. Game-changer. Break down silos. I have the bandwidth. Push the envelope. While speaking directly is important in business, being this direct is downright presumptuous and rude. When networking, it’s risky to ask for a job from a new acquaintance. It’s just as  risky to request a reference, especially if you’ve just met the person. Networking should yield a mutually beneficial relationship, not an Aladdin and the genie arrangement. Your wish is not their command.

4 Reasons to Turn Down a Job Offer

4 Reasons to Turn Down a Job Offer 4 Reasons to Turn Down a Job Offer Whether you’re new to the workforce or have been plugging away for years, it’s always exciting when a   job offer  lands in your lap. But before you rush to sign on the dotted line, it pays to consider the drawbacks of saying yes. Here are a few reasons why you might decide to turn down a job offer - even if you previously thought you wanted it. Not every position offers a direct path to the top of the corporate chain. But if you have reason to suspect that your offer will land you in a   dead-end role , you’d be wise to run the other way. Before you accept an offer, consider the career path the associated job will take you on. Will you learn new skills that help you reach management status? Or will you simply spend your days doing busy work that ultimately doesn’t do a thing for your resume? If you’re dealing with the latter, then consider it a red flag. Another way to tell? Study the professional profiles of folks who have already done the job you’re thinking of doing, and see what their career paths looked like. Did they excel in the years following that role, or did they simply bounce around laterally? Again, you don’t want the latter, or at least not on a long-term basis, so do some digging before signing up for a position that will ultimately make you unhappy . Though money isn’t everything when it comes to a job, you   should  take steps to ensure that you’re being paid fairly. So if you   do your research  and find out that the salary you’re being offered is exceptionally low, you may want to run the other way. Does it pay to negotiate a better number first? In some cases, yes, especially if it’s your dream job and the peripheral benefits, like paid time off and health insurance , are great. But if the number is completely off the charts, and not in your favor, then take it as a sign that you and your would-be employer just aren’t on the same page. Though the day-to-day specifics of your job will play a role in dictating your ultimate happiness with it, don’t discount the importance of finding the right company culture . This means that if you’re the laid-back type who prefers to work creatively, you might quickly grow discontent in a buttoned-up, policy-ridden corporate environment. So talk to people who work or have worked for the company that’s offering you a position to see if the environment you’re about to enter will mesh with your personality. And if you find that that’s unlikely to be the case, say no. Maybe you’re being offered a job with tons of mobility, a competitive salary and a company culture that’s just what you’re looking for. That’s all fine and good, but if the company in question has been performing poorly in recent years, and its prospects don’t look positive, then you’re better off declining that offer than signing up to board a sinking ship. Some red flags to look out for when gauging a prospective employer’s viability are dire financials and a history of downsizing. Both point to major problems with the company’s management, which can spell disaster on a long-term basis. It’s always flattering to receive a job offer, but don’t let the fact that a company wants you go to your head. Instead, take your time when considering that offer, and turn it down if any of the above scenarios apply and can’t be resolved. You may be better off sticking out your current job or extending your search and waiting until the right opportunity truly presents itself. This article was originally published on The Motley Fool .

5 Job-search Steps to Shorten the Hunt

5 Job-search Steps to Shorten the Hunt 5 Job-search Steps to Shorten the Hunt 5 Job-search Steps to Shorten the Hunt Speed up your job search. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who actually enjoys looking and applying for jobs. The process isn't necessarily enjoyable, but at the very least, you can make it as short as possible. Whether you've just started your job search or you've passively been on the hunt for some time now, here are the five most crucial job-search tips to help you take control of the process and make the best use of your time. 1. Define what you're looking for in your next role Spend a few hours combing through online listings and you're guaranteed to find lots of jobs that you could feasibly do. But between tweaking your resume, finding a hiring manager's email address, writing a cover letter, and sending follow-ups, you could easily spend hours on just one role even one that might not necessarily be a great fit. You wouldn't spend time at work investing in a project with little-to-no ROI, so instead, reinvest a few hours of your time asking yourself a few important questions: What's the title I want next? What types of projects do I want to tackle? What are my non-negotiables? Just remember: You won't find the right job for you if you don't know what you really want, and you could waste a lot of time in the process if you don't figure it out stat. 2. Write your elevator pitch Once you know what you want, it's time to tailor your elevator pitch to emphasize what exactly about your background makes you the right candidate. This should be a few short, digestible sentences preferably no more than three (take into consideration the amount of time you'd actually spend on an elevator ride). Use them to highlight your most relevant accomplishments so clearly that even a complete stranger could understand. With your well-rehearsed elevator pitch on hand, you'll be well-prepared for both networking events and the first question any recruiter or hiring manager is going to have for you: Tell me about yourself! Related:5 Tips for Delivering the Perfect Elevator Pitch 3. Purchase a professional resume rewrite Before you even consider applying to a single job, you'll need to be armed with an updated resume that accurately and effectively reflects your experience. Of all the job-search tips here, this is the only one that can be easily outsourced to experienced professionals and will make sure you're positioned for the dream job scenario you envisioned in Step One. Aside from the fact that writing a resume on your own can come with a lot of costly and time-consuming mistakes, purchasing a professional resume rewrite will allow you to spend your time where it really matters. 4. Set achievable goals It's easy when you're unemployed to believe that every waking moment should be spent on applications, networking, and phone calls. The honest truth is that most of us aren't productive even three hours per day, and the job search is not the time to start setting world productivity records. Determine what times of day you're most productive and buckle down during those hours. Then create manageable to-do lists for your application-related tasks. Setting unrealistic goals for your job search will only disappoint you and make the process feel a lot longer than it needs to be. 5. Get your network together Studies have found that up to 85 percent of all jobs are filled via networking. No matter where you are in your career, you've established a circle of people who can be instrumental in helping you find your next job. Updating your LinkedIn profile and adding all of your current and former colleagues is an easy way to expand your reach of opportunities. And don't be afraid to think outside of the box! Former clients, neighbors, friends of friends, and local business owners you know can all hold valuable insight and resources. Find connections at companies that interest you (whether or not they are advertising for open roles) and make a plan for who to reach out to where and when. Now that you've got an idea of what you want, an elevator pitch for presenting it, and a top-tier resume to showcase your experience, you have everything you need to maximize your outreach and have productive conversations. You'll find success in your job search before you know it! Click on the following link for more job-search advice. Take the first step to shortening your job search today.

7 Reasons You Werent Hired

7 Reasons You Weren't Hired 7 Reasons You Weren't Hired Your resume perfectly fits the job description, you’ve been hearing positive feedback from HR, and… what?! You weren’t hired? Don’t take it personally â€" there are a whole slew of reasons outside your control (and sometimes in your control) why you may have been passed up for the job you wanted. Often, the reason you weren’t hired is only distantly correlated to your strength and fit for the position. Here are 7  reasons why you may not have gotten the job: Recruiters say that over half of job applicants for a given job aren’t qualified â€" and sometimes even more. Don’t be surprised when you don’t hear back if you only met 50 percent of the qualifications. But on the other hand, myopically applying for only the jobs you are fully qualified you for can limit your options. Applying for a job that asks for 6 years of experience when you only have 4 isn’t overly idealistic. Go for It. Sometimes HR will post jobs online even though the company is going through internal turmoil, and actually hasn’t hired anyone in a year. A hiring freeze could also take effect when you’re in the interview process, in which case you could unceremoniously be dropped out of the running. This might also be something HR doesn’t want you to know, because they don’t want news to spread about why the freeze had to happen. Internal candidates generally have first dibs on a role than a new hire coming into the company. In fact, sometimes an internal candidate was the only one being considered all along, but the company has a policy about publically posting jobs. The job could have only had the illusion of being open, but was actually reserved for someone else from the start. Again, don’t get down on yourself. Even if your resume perfectly fit the qualifications and your cover letter was stellar, there’s no guarantee you’ll land the job. It depends on where you’re interviewing, but many workplaces are increasingly concerned with building a cohesive company culture. Research company culture on Glassdoor beforehand so you have a better idea of what they’re looking for. When HR is looking at a talented pool of applicants, even one misstep can be reason  enough to cost you the gig. No matter how talented you are, it’s always important to be courteous, professional and kind to the people who are hiring you. If a hiring manager is looking for someone to do a specific job that you seem over-qualified for, they might take the less-qualified applicant for budget reasons or because the role was more junior than your qualifications. Hopefully, you will quickly be rewarded for your skills elsewhere! Hiring can be put on hold during a major restructuring, during which HR will be reevaluating their priorities for what kind of job positions they need. If you’re still really excited about the company, don’t give up hope â€" let HR know that you’re interested in any future positions that might come up. Whatever the reason, not landing a particular job shouldn’t prevent you from continuing to search.
