In 2025, precision manufacturing stands as a pillar of technological progress and global competitiveness. Once seen as a niche domain reserved for aerospace and medical sectors, it has now become central to a broad range of industries, including electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and renewable energy systems. Precision manufacturing today is not just about producing parts to tight tolerances—it’s about integrating digital intelligence, sustainability, and resilience into every stage of the manufacturing process.
One of the defining trends in 2025 is the rise of AI-driven manufacturing. Smart factories are no longer futuristic concepts but operational realities. Advanced analytics, real-time quality monitoring, and predictive maintenance powered by machine learning are enabling manufacturers to increase throughput while reducing waste. CNC machines, robotic arms, and additive manufacturing systems are now integrated into centralized platforms, allowing for remote management, optimization, and rapid iteration.
Moreover, supply chain disruptions in recent years—especially following the COVID-19 pandemic and global geopolitical tensions—have pushed companies to localize production. Precision manufacturing has responded with flexible, modular production cells that can be scaled or relocated with minimal downtime. Small and mid-sized manufacturers are increasingly adopting these systems, closing the capability gap with larger players and fueling innovation at the local level.
Sustainability is also reshaping the field. With global pressure to meet carbon neutrality goals, manufacturers are using precision techniques to reduce material waste and energy use. Technologies like laser cutting, waterjet machining, and advanced casting now achieve higher yields with lower environmental impact. Circular manufacturing principles—where parts are designed for reuse or recyclability—are gaining traction, particularly in the EU and Asia.
However, challenges remain. The industry faces a persistent skills gap, as demand for workers with experience in CAD/CAM systems, robotics, and digital twin technology outpaces supply. In response, public-private partnerships and vocational training programs are expanding rapidly, but it may take years to fully meet the demand. Cybersecurity is another growing concern, as increased digitization exposes manufacturers to potential vulnerabilities.
Despite these headwinds, precision manufacturing in 2025 is thriving. It is evolving from a support function into a strategic advantage—enabling faster product development, lower costs, and greater customization. As industries continue to digitize and decentralize, precision manufacturing will be at the heart of how we design, produce, and sustain the products of tomorrow.
This isn’t just a technological evolution; it’s a fundamental shift in how we think about making things. Precision is no longer a premium—it’s an expectation.
Until next issue, I wish you all the best—and God Bless our troops.

New orders of metalworking machinery, measured by the U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders Report published by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing
Technology, totaled $515.8 million in March 2025, the highest monthly value since March 2023. March 2025 orders increased 33.8% from February 2025 and were up 20.5% from March 2024. Through the first quarter of the year, orders totaled $1.26 billion, a 12.4% increase over the first quarter of 2024.
Even with a massive increase of private investment in equipment in the first quarter of 2025, orders of manufacturing technology fell by 5.7% from the previous quarter. However, the decline was not significant enough to derail the upward momentum of the industry that began with IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show in September 2024.
After driving growth in the machinery market over the past several months, orders from contract machine shops underperformed the overall market movements in March 2025. When demand increases for goods and equipment that require machined parts, contract machine shops generally experience capacity constraints as OEMs shift more work toward them and weigh how to handle changing demand over longer time horizons. Meeting this immediate need by the smaller shops requires additional investment in machinery.
Aerospace manufacturers increased their orders in March 2025 to the highest monthly value on record and the most units ordered since December 2023. In February 2025, the capacity utilization rate of aerospace manufacturers surpassed the level observed before the Boeing machinists strike for the first time since the end of the strike in November 2024. While the industry is positioned to continue its upward trajectory, the current strike of machinists could be another short-term drag on growth.
The first quarter of 2025 showed strong signs that demand for manufacturing technology was beginning to recover after two years of mild decline. Increasing uncertainty and downside risks to the economy could upend the positive path of manufacturing technology orders. After forecasting robust growth in 2025, Oxford Economics recently revised its outlook to a high singledigit decline, as economic conditions could push the recovery in machinery demand to the latter half of 2026.
The United States Manufacturing Technology Orders (USMTO) Report is based on the totals of actual data reported by companies participating in the USMTO program. This report, compiled by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, provides regional and national U.S. orders data of domestic
and related equipment. Analysis of manufacturing technology orders provides a reliable leading economic indicator as manufacturing industries invest in capital metalworking equipment to increase capacity and improve productivity. USMTO.com.
IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show is where the creators, builders, sellers, and drivers of manufacturing technology come to connect and be inspired.

Denver aerospace co. passes $3.8B in value, shares skyrocket in IPO
A Denver-based aerospace company’s market value skyrocketed past $3.8 billion last month as its share price surged during its stock market debut.
Founder Ron Grob checks on the production of a Stub Acme thread on the Tesker 630 roller.
The company founded and owns 67% of the Starlab joint venture, a commercial space station business targeting its first station for launch in 2029.
Starlab was created to be among the replacements for the International Space Station, which is set to reach the end of its operational lifespan in 2028 and faces decommissioning by 2030. Airbus owns 30.5% of Starlab and the remaining single-digit ownership is in the hands of Palantir, Mitsubishi and MDA Space.

government contracts. Last year, roughly a quarter came from NASA alone.
The stock market debut could mean as much as $373 million for Voyager Technologies, based on the $9.3 million in fees it expected to pay for the IPO, according to SEC filings on June 5.
Founded in 2019 as Voyage Space Holdings, the company rebranded as it went public to Voyager Technologies to signal its pursuit of defense-related contracts.
The Federal Reserve reported that industrial production in March rose 1.4%, returning to growth after an unseasonably stormy February knocked it down 2.6%. The report shows total industrial production rose 2.5% at an annualized rate during the first quarter of 2021 despite the losses endured in February by manufacturing, mining, and utilities companies.
The company plans to use the proceeds to invest in growth initiatives, general corporate purposes, debt payments, administrative expenses, research and development programs and in pursuing mergers and acquisitions, Voyager said. Kuta said there isn’t any specific merger or acquisition deal in mind following the IPO.
Motor vehicles and parts production, which fell 10% in February, rose 2.8% in March but remained depressed by a persistent shortage of semiconductors. Most durable goods indexes rose between 2% to 3%.
Voyager Technologies attracted $144.2 million in revenue last year but posted an overall loss of $65.6 million.
In SEC filings, Voyager projected Starlab to cost $2.8 billion to $3.3 billion to develop. NASA has already contributed a Space Act Agreement worth $217.5 million to the project; $70.3 million of those funds have yet to be delivered, according to the company’s prospectus.
The industrial production gauge includes productivity in three sectors: manufacturing, mining, and utilities. Manufacturing production (which excludes mining and utilities output) rose 2.7% in March after falling 3.7% the month before. Mining production improved 2.7%, while utility output fell 11.4% thanks to unseasonably warm March temperatures. Manufacturing output rose 1.9% at an annualized rate.
To Kuta, exceeding the top end of the company’s expected IPO range by over $60 million signaled a strong domestic space economy that can operate regardless of any specific economic backdrop, given government commitments to funding the industry.
In nondurable manufacturing, the index for the chemicals industry rose 4.1%, and petroleum and coal products rose 5.7%, although neither sector has fully recovered from severe weather damage—the Federal Reserve noted that some chemicals factories remain offline thanks to damage sustained from February’s winter storms. Most nondurable goods indexes rose between 0.9% and 3.0%.
In 2024, Voyager’s revenue was split roughly in half between its space and defense business lines. Its biggest customers and partners are NASA, the U.S. Space Force, Palantir, Lockheed Martin, Airbus and the Air Force.
Capacity utilization in manufacturing rose by 1.9 points, also reversing February losses.
Almost all market groups saw improvements in March, despite lingering challenges. The Federal Reserve’s index for other manufacturing, which includes publishing and logging, remained the same, but durable goods and nondurable goods indexes rose 3.0% and 2.6%, respectively.
“When you think about Voyager and kind of that whole broader macro backdrop, there’s a lot of opportunity … it’s an industry that’s not going away,” Kuta said. “The technologies may ebb and flow, but overall, the addressable market continues to grow year over year, despite what might be happening at individual governmental budget levels or domestic economy.”
As of March, the company employed 514 people across 10 locations, with a significant chunk of the workforce in San Diego and Washington, D.C.By Jackson Guilfoil – Reporter, Denver Business Journal
If February was notable for its storminess, March was notable for its heat. The unseasonably warm month coincided with a roughly 10% drop in consumer energy products, and the 11.4% drop in utilitie s utilization was the largest recorded in the history of the index’s 48-year history.

Enhancing the aesthetics and durability of industry-leading products - from Consumer Products to Space Satellite Technology.
Sierra Space, a leading commercial space company and emerging defense-tech prime, announced today the chartering of new operation dedicated to supporting national security space as a prime contractor: Sierra Space Defense. The company also unveiled expansion plans with a new production facility called “Victory Works,” adding 60,000 square feet of manufacturing space and bringing Sierra Space’s total infrastructure to more than one million square feet across seven states.
defense satellites awarded by the Space Development Agency (SDA) in January 2024, as part of a $740M prime contract to support the SDA’s Tranche 2 Tracking Layer. In addition, Space Force awarded Sierra Space a “Quick Start” Resilient GPS (R-GPS) agreement in September 2024. And the company continues to make strides in its spacecraft systems business, boasting more than 20 active contracts for solar arrays and other components.
Delays in TSMC’s Arizona plant spark supply chain worries
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has said it is unlikely to equip its new US plant in Arizona with its most advanced chip technology ahead of its Taiwan factories, raising concerns about supply-chain hurdles for tech companies.
Sierra Space Vice President Erik Daehler will helm the new organization.
Speaking at a university event in Taiwan, TSMC CEO and Chairman C.C. Wei attributed the delays at TSMC’s Arizona factory to a combination of complex compliance requirements, local construction regulations, and extensive permitting processes, according to a Reuters report.
“We are mission-focused and dedicated to supporting our national security customers and the revitalization of the U.S. defense industrial base. Commercial space companies now have a profound responsibility to help lead an entirely new era for national defense,” Daehler said. “The creation of Sierra Space Defense enables stronger partnerships –such as our steadfast partnership with SNC – to tackle the hardest mission problems like Golden Dome. Our new Sierra Space Defense organization is a testament to our dedication to innovation at speed and excellence in satellite and spacecraft systems production, which will shape the future of defense technology.”
Wei explained that each stage of construction requires permits, with approval timelines taking at least twice as long as in Taiwan, creating challenges in deploying the company’s most advanced chip technology.
Additional obstacles, Wei said, include supply chain disruptions and a lack of established regulations for chip plant construction in the US, which have further hindered progress.
Wei also noted that chemical supply costs in the US are substantially higher, citing the need to ship sulfuric acid from Taiwan to Los Angeles and then transport it to Arizona by truck.
Sierra Space will dedicate a new manufacturing facility, called “Victory Works,” to defense technology. Located in Centennial, Colorado, the 60,000 square-foot space will play a pivotal role in the production of the company’s new Sierra Space Eclipse™ satellite bus line, a key component in Sierra Space’s efforts to enhance the capabilities of the U.S. defense sector. This expansion is on top of 24,000 square feet of existing sites dedicated to national security and defense work.
Despite these setbacks and increased costs, Wei expressed optimism during the company’s recent earnings call, assuring that the Arizona plant would meet the same quality standards as its facilities in Taiwan and forecasting a smooth production ramp-up.
Lt. Gen. John E. Shaw (U.S. Space Force, Ret.) serves on Sierra Space’s National Security Space Strategic Advisor Group. “The growing scope and scale of what our adversaries are doing in space is alarming, and the threat environment is evolving rapidly as near-peer challenges accelerate,” Shaw said. “Commercial space companies possess the speed and agility required to outpace our adversaries and effectively respond to our critical national security space needs.”
The US government has extended robust support to TSMC’s investment, offering a $6.6 billion grant through CHIPS and Science Act to lessen dependence on Asia for semiconductor manufacturing and address geographic vulnerabilities in the global chip supply chain.
TSMC’s challenges in the US Analysts point out that the US regulatory environment is more complex than Taiwan’s, leading to longer timelines and higher costs for TSMC’s Arizona project.
The launch of Sierra Space Defense and related infrastructure expansion plans are driven by a palpable sense of urgency: the United States is facing new threats and near-peer adversaries at unprecedented levels in the space domain. In response to the evolving threat environment, Sierra Space is retooling its commercial capacity to focus on revitalizing the U.S. defense industrial base through innovative satellite and spacecraft systems technology.
Since 2023, Sierra Space has secured $1.5 billion in national security and defense contracts, for production on 30 satellites; included in that figure are 18 missile warning and
• Sierra Space Eclipse: a next generation product line of small, high performance, affordable satellites for on-orbit servicing missions
• Sierra Space Ghost: a state-of-the-art space delivery system engineered to safely return objects from space – and through space – directly to precise locations on Earth
“Unlike Taiwan’s streamlined regulations, the US has a sequential, multi-layered approval process, including stringent construction, environmental, and safety codes that necessitate adjustments,” said Manish Rawat, semiconductor analyst at TechInsights. “Supply chain constraints, such as higher material costs and logistical challenges, further increase expenses.”
• Sierra Space Spectre: a revolutionary satellite designed for precision rendezvous proximity operations (RPO)
Taiwan holds over $100 billion in assets and decades of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, while the US is still catching up in terms of resources and governance needed to recreate the infrastructure required to support production, said Hyoun Park, CEO and chief analyst at
• Sierra Black OS: an advanced AI-enabled operating systemthat is able to operate across space, air and ground systems seamlessly
Things are going well in Washington D.C. for a Colorado supersonic plane company
President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the Federal Aviation Administration to end a nationwide ban on supersonic flight over land within 180 days. At the same time, a bill is circulating through Congress that would repeal the same supersonic prohibition, so long as the flights passing the sound barrier don’t make a sonic boom.
The change is convenient for Centennial-based Boom Supersonic, which is developing a passenger jet to fly faster than the speed of sound. Boom tested its singleseat supersonic jet prototype and, the company says, broke the sound barrier several times Jan. 28 without producing an audible boom.
The FAA currently bans overland flights that exceed Mach 1 unless given explicit authorization. Scholl previously told the Denver Business Journal that he started Boom Supersonic planning on making planes for international flights, but domestic routes could triple the size of the company’s market.
Boom Supersonic has been building a factory in North Carolina to construct its supersonic airliners, known as Overtures. The planes are designed to fly 64 to 80 passengers at double the speed of a conventional airliner. The jets could take travelers from New York City to Paris or London in about four hours.
American Airlines, Japan Airlines and United Airlines have collectively placed about 130 pre-orders for Overtures. Plane production at the North Carolina factory is projected to start in less than 18 months.
“The Executive Order recognizes what many of us in the aerospace industry have long understood: that the future of air mobility — both civilian and defense — depends on agility, distributed infrastructure, and vertical capability,” Scott Pomeroy, CEO of XTI Aerospace, said.By Jackson Guilfoil – Reporter, Denver Business Journal

The Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation (the Foundation) releases the May 2025 Monthly Confidence Index for the Equipment Finance Industry (MCI-EFI) today. Overall, confidence in the equipment finance market is 44.5, up from the April index of 41.9, and the second lowest index since December 2023. The index reports a qualitative assessment of both the prevailing business conditions and future expectations as reported by key executives from the $1.3 trillion equipment finance sector.
When asked about the outlook for the future, MCI-EFI survey respondent Joseph Hines, Head of Equipment Finance, Trustmark Bank Equipment Finance, said, “Pipelines and funded business have picked up after a slow start to the year and a slower than expected year-end in 2024. Some of the uptick in new business may be a mix of new projects, maintenance capex, and pulling purchases forward due to tariff fears and rising costs. Time will tell how much of the new business are purchases being accelerated, but we remain optimistic the tariff discussions and outcomes will be positive and a return to some normalcy in the market.”
May 2025 Survey Results:
Th e overall MCI-EFI is 44.5, up from the April index of 41.9.
Business conditions - When asked to assess their business conditions over the next four months, 4% of the executives responding said they believe business conditions will improve over the next four months, a decrease from 15.4% in April. 52% believe business conditions will remain the same over the next four months, up from 26.9% the previous month. 44% believe business conditions will worsen, down from 57.7% in April.
Capex demand – 8% of the survey respondents believe demand for leases and loans to fund capital expenditures (capex) will increase over the next four months, down from 11.5% in April. 44% believe demand will “remain the same” during the same four-month time period, up from 26.9% the previous month. 48% believe demand will decline, a decrease from 61.5% in April.
Access to capital – 4.2% of the respondents expect more access to capital to fund equipment acquisitions over the next four months, down from 7.7% in April. 95.8% of executives indicate they expect the “same” access to capital to fund business, up from 88.5% the previous month. None expect “less” access to capital, down from 3.9% in April.
Employment - When asked, 24% of the executives report they expect to hire more employees over the next four months, an increase from 23.1% in April. 72% expect no change in headcount over the next four months, down from 73.1% last month. 4% expect to hire fewer employees, relatively unchanged from April.
U.S. economy – None of the leadership evaluate the current U.S. economy as “excellent,” unchanged from April. 84% evaluate the economy as “fair,” down from 88.5% the previous month. 16% evaluate it as “poor,” up from 11.5% in April.
Economic outlook – 12% of the survey respondents believe that U.S. economic conditions will get “better” over the next six months, up from 7.7% in April. 44% indicate they believe the U.S. economy will “stay the same” over the next six months, up from 34.6% last month. 44% believe economic conditions in the U.S. will worsen over the next six months, a decrease from 57.7% the previous month.
Micron expands US manufacturing commitment to $200B
Semiconductor maker Micron Technology plans to invest $200 billion in U.S. manufacturing and research and development capacity.
Micron, which finalized $6.2 billion in CHIPS and Science Act funding last December, is one of many awardees upping their investments as the Commerce Department pushes chipmakers for more aggressive financial commitments.
Micron was awarded $6.2 billion to expand its Idaho and New York facilities, as well as $275 million to expand and modernize its Manassas, Virginia, facility, which will begin later this year. While the larger chunk of funding was finalized in December, Micron disclosed in a securities filing that it had finalized the federal contract for the Virginia funding June 11. The company is among the first awardees to see a status change in funding since President Donald Trump took office.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said during a congressional budget hearing last week that the department is “renegotiating” CHIPS funding contracts “for the benefit of the American taxpayer.”
The list of CHIPS awardees increasing their investments continues to grow. Last week, GlobalFoundries, which is set to receive $1.5 billion in CHIPS funding, announced an additional $3 billion in U.S. manufacturing investments. And in March, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., slated to receive $6.6 billion in CHIPS money, committed another $100 billion in U.S. investment.
Micron has announced several highprofile investments in recent years. It’s also in the midst of building a $25 billion fab in Boise, Idaho, which will be further expanded under the new investment. The company now plans to spend $30 billion to build a second memory fab in Boise, as well as further expand its Manassas, Virginia facility.
The investments aim to bring highbandwidth memory manufacturing to the U.S., as well as expand dynamic random-access memory chip production. Micron said it’s on track to begin DRAM production in Idaho in 2027, and will begin construction preparation in New York later this year.
Micron expects to complete construction of the second Idaho fab before its first New York facility. The second Idaho facility will house its high bandwidth memory production.
