Last week's International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) drew more than 111,000 registrants from 112 countries to see 15,000 new machine tools, controls, computers, software, and components of virtually all kinds.

Here, we offer a peek at some of those non-traditional technologies, as well as a look at some of the new twists on tried-and-true manufacturing machinery.
