CAD/CAM improves generative design, print simulation, path programming and process control in additive manufacturing.
Worker training will be key to implementing Industry 4.0 in manufacturing, speakers at a presentation said today.
AI software enables the company to capture relevant runtime metadata and put it into context to create useful information in real time.
Interoperability will make the autonomous mobile robot’s world go ‘round
Larger manufacturing enterprises have benefitted from smart-manufacturing innovations while smaller manufacturers have lagged behind—but that is changing.
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.
Thermwood Corp. has added a third print orientation to its LSAM Large Scale Additive Manufacturing systems.
Bosch said it is moving forward with volume production of silicon carbide chips.
Key steps are virtual twins and real relationships.
While fossil fuels dominate the energy market, expect a new mix of parts as renewable energy and EVs grow in market share.
