CAD/CAM improves generative design, print simulation, path programming and process control in additive manufacturing.

The America Makes affiliate at Ohio State University develops additive technology and talent.

What manufacturers wanting in on Industry 4.0 should know before investing in a 3D printer

The most important step in digitizing any manufacturing or supply chain process is analysis of the ROI and business case and being able to demonstrate success to company leaders.

The U.S. auto industry has been automated for decades. Production of cars and trucks is associated with large, hulking robots fenced off from human employees. Inside those fenced off areas, tasks such as welding are performed. The industry, though, is advancing on the automation front.

The 3D printing industry has proved itself during the pandemic as a solution to disrupted supply chains.

The new Wohlers Associates report “Post-Processing of AM and 3D-Printed Parts” provides a broad range of methods and techniques for finishing parts made by additive manufacturing, also referred to as 3D printing.

The Additive Manufacturing Conference + Expo (AMCE) 2021 was held Oct. 12-14 in Cincinnati. The three-day event offered attendees ways to connect with leading suppliers, end-users and researchers of industrial applications for additive manufacturing technologies.

As automotive OEMs turn their attention toward EV development, the inherent capabilities of the AM process make it a natural fit to support EV production—and now is the time for the automotive industry to make that pivot.

The thermodynamics of the extruder head, or “ThermoTag puts, a stamp undetectable to the naked eye on the physical properties of 3D printed parts. If proven and accepted through additional research, the phenomenon has implications for thwarting counterfeiting of parts and products, protecting intellectual property (IP) and tracing illegal manufacturing of weapons.
