Resurrecting Lost Parts: 3D Scanning's Game-Changing Solution

Laser micro-cutting can increase precision and enable contactless cutting for machines, leading to higher-quality products.

When visiting some machine shops I hear PM, most commonly known as preventive maintenance, referred to as “postmortem,” as in, “We just run the machines until they die.”

Demand for automation and robots is surging in multiple industries, including automotive, writes the CEO of Thomas.com.

Additive manufacturing (AM) in medicine continues to grow each year. It is a remarkable enabler, but the industry is fraught with barriers to adoption, slow for the sake of patient safety.

Our focus has always been on helping manufacturers improve quality, productivity and visibility. In Sight Machine 2.0, among other things, we’ve added a set of enhancements to improve visibility.

Additive manufacturing lets companies think “outside the box.” Engineers can now start to look at a part without restrictions on size, shape or material. Instead of taking 15 different CNC milled parts and brazing them together, these companies have reimagined the part entirely—to be built as one part.

Even early adopters of advanced manufacturing technologies are just starting to develop strategies. Implementation will require considerable time, resources, and commitment.

A professor, who visited IMTS in September, discusses trends in machine tools.

With today’s focus on lightweighting, hollow parts made from composite materials, such as ducting, fuel tanks, mandrels, and rocket shrouds, are in higher demand than ever before. The composite ducting market in the aerospace and defense sector alone is expected to reach $864.7 million by 2024, according to a recent report from Stratview Research.
