Welding is an integral part of the heavy equipment manufacturing industry, and one of the challenges technicians face during welding is porosity—the presence of cavities in the weld metal.
Additive manufacturing is uniquely positioned to enable "rapid response manufacturing."
Bosch said it lifted its automation platform to the next level with ctrlX I/O while showing it at the show.
Using additive manufacturing (AM) is now a serious consideration for medical device OEMs.
AP&T provides a case study of the work it did at a plant in Italy of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (now Stellantis).
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.
Robots simply are not used as widely as they could be, due to persistent barriers.
New materials for 3D printing are rapidly evolving.
Additive manufacturing manufacturers are beginning to refocus on innovation where the additive process begins—metal powder.
