Thomasnet.com Monthly Update: May 2022

[Thomas]( [Monthly Update]( May 2022 Hi {NAME}, Welcome to the May edition of the Thomasnet.com® Monthly Update. Our latest industry [sourcing report]( revealed the top five industrial sourcing categories: machined parts, forming services, epoxies, finishing services, and graphene. It is the rising interest in graphene that caught our eye. An input material for a myriad of products, such as smart biomedical implants, semiconductors, and material sensors, graphene is 100 times stronger than steel, transparent, and an electrical conductor. Check out our [guide to graphene manufacturing]( to find out more. If you're sourcing materials, check out [Xometry Supplies](.
