Contested deletion Suggestion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... topic is notable and possily important. If OSU is working on it and there are copyvios then maybe it should go to a sandbox but there should be an article on this topic if there are copyvios...and the random example I checked does look like a copy violation ... they should be addressed and fixed of course. I am just here to categorize at the moment myself --Elinruby (talk) 11:22, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the topic is both notable and important. But the copyvio issues need sorting out, and a lot more editing is needed to turn this into an article: the copyvio sections seem to have been pasted in one after the other in the "Process" section, with nothing about how they all get joined up into agile tooling. I think the best way forward is probably a complete stub rewrite, to remove the copyvio and the references that don't mention agile tooling. I'll have a go now.

Done. Just needs a shedload more references now. Wikishovel (talk) 12:45, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agile Tooling vs just Tooling

Guys, is the article's name "Agile" just because everything has to be agile? Isn't "design and fabrication of manufacturing related-tools such as dies, molds, patterns, jigs and fixtures" already tooling enough? I understand that tools production can be agile or rapid or whatever, but there's no article on Tooling in Wikipedia, instead all we have is "agile" - first, we need to have "Tooling", which then may branch into agile, rapid and other - don't you think? These are my thoughts after reading the introduction of the article, and then the article continues to be basically just about 3D printing.. Anyway, we need a good, solid article about Tooling (which are those forms and molds installed on machinery to hold material while working on the material to produce parts of the specific shape and form of those dies and molds) and on Machine-tools (which is a bit different than machine tooling, which are the tools used by machinery and applied to material (held by tooling) to manufacture pieces). — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnotherVadimUstinov (talk • contribs) 12:29, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
