NASA landed another rover on Mars in February, thanks in part to the work and leadership of Adam Steltzner. Smart Manufacturing interviewed him shortly thereafter—just as he got off the phone with U.S. President Joe Biden.
A new partnership between Impossible Objects and Ricoh 3D will make strong and lightweight printed composite parts available to Ricoh 3D’s customers in Europe for the first time.
3D Systems said it is collaborating with Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Newport News Shipbuilding division to develop Copper-Nickel (CuNi) and Nickel-Copper (NiCu) alloys for powder bed fusion additive manufacturing.
Originally marketed for their proficiency in heavy metal removal applications while delivering longer tool life and multi-point efficiency, turning inserts have grown more sophisticated in response to advances in materials, machines, methods, and even social factors.
Changes in technology are spurring manufacturing to expand in the U.S., speakers said this week at a trade show.
Smart strategies to address workforce development challenges
Visibility, uptime, profits, and part quality: why a networked manufacturing floor is no longer a nice-to-have
Replacement knees, hips, and other joints are just the beginning for 3D printing.
In a sign that 3D printing continues to march toward the production floor and isn’t just for small batches and prototypes, Boston-based Formlabs Inc. recently unveiled an automation system for its stereolithography resin printers.
Schaeffler Technologies AG saw an opportunity to improve manufacturing throughput and reduce the required cell footprint of certain automated tasks.
