In recent years, a swing in public perception has led to widely held misconceptions of United States manufacturing – that modern manufacturing environments are dark, dangerous and antiquated factories designed for low-skilled workers.On Manufacturing Day (MFG DAY) 2015, this Friday, manufacturers all across the U.S. will open their doors in a coordinated effort to correct this public perception by showcasing modern manufacturing as it really is today: technologically advanced, using sophisticated automation, robots and 3-D printing, and employed by highly trained professionals.
