Challenges around additive materials need to be addressed to allow for a smoother transition towards reliable mass production in medical.

SME, the professional association committed to advancing manufacturing and developing a skilled workforce, announced the winners of its Additive Manufacturing Community Awards, which were presented today at RAPID + TCT 2021, North America’s largest and most influential additive manufacturing (AM) event, Sept. 13-15 at Chicago’s McCormick Place.

For users of additive manufacturing, a challenge is to verify 3D printed components where absolute reliability is required—for example in the medical field. This is especially true in orthopedics, where devices are placed in a human body.

3D file formats are key to sharing medical data for 3D printing medical devices.

Sandvik signed an agreement to acquireCNC Software Inc., the company behind Mastercam, the most widely used Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) brand in the industry.

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.

Smart manufacturing is transforming A&D manufacturing as more companies adopt automation, artificial intelligence and robotics. Some manufacturers are also focusing on eliminating so-called islands of automation and integrating the technology across entire processes.

The new patent pending TRU TEMP 2nd GEN mid-temperature black oxide is a re-engineered and improved finish based on the original and widely used product, according to its manufacturer, Birchwood Technologies.

NASA landed another rover on Mars in February, thanks in part to the work and leadership of Adam Steltzner. SME’s Smart Manufacturing interviewed him shortly thereafter.

Of all the prospective applications for additive manufacturing (AM), it’s those in the aerospace and defense industries that present the greatest opportunities.
