Sustaining CAD/CAM Agility September 15, 2023 Explore the transformative impact of cloud, edge computing, large language models (LLM), and convergence in the manufacturing industry, emphasizing the importance of integrated data systems and automation for improved productivity and innovation.
ABB’s latest GoFa cobots set new benchmark with heavier payloads, longer reach June 28, 2023 The robotics and machine automation supplier says its new cobots can handle payloads of up to 12 kg.
Building the Future July 5, 2023 There could be a better way for manufacturing. One that teams additive manufacturing (AM) with green materials, while promising to erect structures much faster and cheaper.
Xaba and Lockheed Martin Test Cognitive Autonomous Robots June 26, 2023 Xaba Inc. says its xCognition model improved the accuracy and consistency of Lockheed Martin Corp.’s industrial robots in a recent case study.
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.
