Toyota Using AI, 3D Printing as Tools August 25, 2022 Toyota Motor Corp. is using artificial intelligence and 3D printing to help it navigate the biggest changes the auto industry has seen in more than a century.
Strengthening Supply Chains September 25, 2023 Amid supply chain woes and labor constraints, aerospace and defense industries innovate. Lean principles, vertical integration, and advanced tech reshape the supply chain.
Machine Learning for Machine Tools September 5, 2023 Explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and manufacturing, from generative design to AI-controlled production, process optimization, and predictive maintenance, highlighting the revolutionary potential and challenges of integrating AI into various manufacturing processes.
Big Data, Big Results July 5, 2023 Hopefully, your manufacturing operations are like shooting fish in a barrel. But without robust machine monitoring and the IIoT, you’re more likely going to be shooting in the dark.
New Ways to Finish DMLS, MJF Parts May 25, 2023 In the pursuit of enabling production-quantity 3D printing, the historical focus has been on improving printer throughput and material properties. Multi-jet fusion (MJF) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) printing technologies have achieved considerable success on this front.
Stratasys, Desktop Metal to Merge May 25, 2023 Stratasys Ltd. and Desktop Metal Inc. agreed to combine in a deal valued at $1.8 billion.
Design Keys: Parts, Not Prints May 31, 2023 Traditional manufacturing principles stress designing for the process. For AM, however, design must encompass the entire process, starting with materials and printing but also consider thermal treatment, machining, chemical post-processing, volumetric and dimensional inspection, and mechanical testing.
3 Trends Toward Mainstream Applications May 18, 2023 The macroeconomic outlook has also taken a toll on the additive manufacturing (AM) industry, with adoption not living up to expectations. This is reflected in the slumping stock prices of publicly traded 3D-printing companies.
How AM Can Help Mitigate Supply Chain Insecurities May 30, 2023 The question is, how can manufacturers mitigate issues related to problems with carbon footprint, supply chains, and labor shortages? Additive manufacturing may be the answer; it has the potential to overcome many of these difficulties.
