I have been posting about the SME and its Forming and Fabricating Technical Communities over the years, and realize that we may never have done justice to explaining what we are.
Some Basics: SME = Society of Manufacturing Engineers (not Small Medium Enterprise in this case)
Technical Communities = Virtual work groups made up of the members of SME
Each technical community supports and focuses on a Major technical field within manufacturing. The community I work with is the Forming and Fabricating Community, where we focus on forming metal parts and fabricating products from those and other metal parts.
My personal focus has long been Stamping and Dies used to stamp metal, along with Metal Forming Simulation. More lately hydroforming and other novel forming methods for Sheet and Tube have also been loci of my interest.
