Listen to this Smart Manufacturing magazine cover story: Twenty women making their mark in robotics & automation
An engine manufacturer discovers there is a way to reduce 50 billion data points to 2 billion—a reasonable number from which the foundation for machine learning can be built.
The whole of manufacturing is moving toward a leaner and more agile future enabled by additive manufacturing. But this change requires continuous and unrelenting innovation to be able to do things not done before.
HoloLens 2, Microsoft’s second-generation, mixed-reality smart glasses is a big part of why augmented reality in assembly has become ready for prime time.
It’s time to redefine AM and DfAM by what is possible from advanced LPBF systems—and to look ahead with the same determination the semiconductor industry used to better our lives.
Sandvik AB has agreed with Battery Ventures to acquire U.S.-based Cambrio, which has a portfolio in CAD/CAM software for manufacturing industries.
Absolute Machine Tools has earned the title of Diamond Partner Systems Integrator from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc. The partnership is expected to expand opportunities in robotics and automation for 0020both companies.
FABTECH will be the first large-scale manufacturing trade show to return to McCormick Place in Chicago, September 13-16. The announcement comes as the state of Illinois moves into its final reopening phase.
Desktop Metal recently introduced the Studio System 2, which offers a way to eliminate the debind step and its chemical solvents through a complete reformulation of materials. The printer makes the AM process more hands-off and streamlined while also improving part quality.
The increased use of CT scanning for metal powder bed fusion parts is usually associated with high-value parts and elevated quality requirements. There are increased requests for CT scanning on parts made of engineering-grade polymers like PEEK, PEKK or ULTEM and for fiber-reinforced composites like Nylon 12 CF.
