I’ve spent over a decade watching manufacturing trends, but nothing compares to what’s unfolding now.

The data is quite compelling: $225 billion invested in U.S. manufacturing construction last year. 800,000 new jobs since 2021.

We’re witnessing a genuine industrial inflection point that will redefine competitive landscapes for a generation.

@partsimony’s latest analysis maps the strategic opportunity landscape for manufacturing leaders:
✅ Which sectors offer the highest growth potential (semiconductors alone projected to hit $1T by 2030)
✅ The five states strategically positioned to capture disproportionate value (with surprising regional advantages)
✅ Implementation frameworks that top performers are using to reduce time-to-market by 25% while increasing 10-year IRR from 11% to 18%
✅ Knowledge preservation approaches to tackle the 2.1M manufacturing job gap projected by 2030

This isn’t just about reshoring — it’s a strategic roadmap for generational competitive advantage.

Please like and share if you find this interesting.

engineering/manufacturing happy hour: seattle edition. june 16th

we’re going to try making this a regular thing. we’ll have technical presentations and free beer and food

You love to see it 🏭/acc

[OmeifeTech @OmeifeTech]

To the Nigerian hardware engineering community: The days of waiting weeks for foreign PCB prototypes are officially over.

We’re manufacturing multi-layer boards from scratch at Omeife Robotics. Local execution = faster innovation.

What are you building next? Come talk to us!

Really good listen. Want more of these. @emm0sh when’s the next one?👀

[em m0shouris @emm0sh]

here's my conversation with Carl Bass. we talked about CAD, engineering software, AI, Autodesk and organizations

i hope you enjoy it as much as i did

@i2cjak @emm0sh To Hell with Georgia! @i2cjak are you fellow Yellow Jacket?👀

A few interesting folks in the manufacturing space: - @aphysicist: tackling a difficult manufacturing problem with tooling.

- @jaimalik: revitalizing the manufacturing industry in an interesting way.

- @jimbelosic: scaling manufacturing in the U.S. in a way not seen before. Can only imagine the war stories.

- @elonmusk: specifically around ramping production & pitfalls. Would be interesting to get his thoughts on design & manufacturing philosophies.

- @JeffBezos: his focus on manufacturing—interestingly he has had a longterm interest in manufacturing and might have invested in https://t.co/O4LaKMVzAz in the early days.

@emm0sh @aphysicist Really cool. Nice to hear about all the background stories

We are hosting an industrial hackathon at @noxmetals!

We are inviting software and hardware builders to apply to compete for a $5,000 prize.

Write code and build hardware that gives insight to what the heck the machine is doing. And, how it can be optimized.

Build a $250 sensor system for our Spartan wet saw cutting some sweet sweet 6061.

Kickoff Monday 12pm ET. Demo day June 15 in Detroit.

[Space and Technology @spaceandtech_]

MIT researchers have developed new artificial muscles called Electrofluidic Fiber Muscles for robots and wearable devices.

These flexible muscles can be woven into fabric and work silently without bulky equipment.

The system is lightweight, portable, and uses tiny fiber pumps smaller than 2 millimeters to generate powerful movement directly from electricity.
