Toyota Using AI, 3D Printing as Tools

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

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

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.

New Ways to Finish DMLS, MJF Parts

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.

The Future of AM

Terry Wohlers describes the outlook for additive manufacturing.

Design Keys: Parts, Not Prints

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

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.
