The three keynote speakers of HOUSTEX, EASTEC, SOUTHTEC and WESTEC—the Manufacturing Technology Series—offer perspectives pertinent to manufacturers in general, but of particular use to small and medium-sized manufacturers.
Around the U.S., the major manufacturing regions are taking stock of the fallout from the pandemic and how they can navigate out of the lockdowns in 2020 to thrive once again.
Additive manufacturing is uniquely positioned to enable "rapid response manufacturing."
The rise of cloud-based, Industry 4.0-level computing and networking technology is making multiple documentation and traceability requirements easier to navigate.
Using additive manufacturing (AM) is now a serious consideration for medical device OEMs.
To address the changing requirements of component post-finishing processes, a closer collaboration between CAM and AM is needed.
Amorphous metals are ideal for medical devices created with 3D printing.
New materials for 3D printing are rapidly evolving.
