GOM Scan 1 is a portable 3D scanner designed for the serious hobbyist or industrial engineer that needs to digitize small to medium-sized objects at an affordable price
Worker training will be key to implementing Industry 4.0 in manufacturing, speakers at a presentation said today.
Metal diffusion bonding is an essential joining method for achieving a high-purity interface when two similar metals require superior structural integrity. The process involves applying high temperature, and pressure to metals mated together in a hot press causes the atoms on solid metallic surfaces to intersperse and bond.
Bosch said it is moving forward with volume production of silicon carbide chips.
In a perfect CNC world, the first part is always a good one. There’s no need for extra blanks or barstock. Setup times are only as long as is needed to swap out a few tools and load a new program. There’s never a crash, never the need to reprogram an inefficient bit of code. The operator just pushes the green button and out pops a finished workpiece minutes or hours later.
