In this months episode of Weld Wednesday w/ AWS Joe Young and I discuss the emerging technologies in the welding field, including automation and additive manufacturing. We highlight the importance of having a strong foundation in welding fundamentals and how automation is a supplement to the labor shortage, not a replacement for skilled welders. We also mention the need for welders to understand the settings and variables that affect the end result of a weld when programming robots. The discussion emphasizes the need for welders to be open-minded and adaptable to new technologies. We also explore the importance of embracing and adapting to new technology in the welding industry. We also emphasize the value of being able to operate automated equipment, program robots, and learn new skills.
