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.
Additive manufacturing manufacturers are beginning to refocus on innovation where the additive process begins—metal powder.
Light vehicles will be so different by 2035, experts aren’t even sure we’ll still call them “cars.” Perhaps “personal mobility devices.” More important will be the radical changes to the manufacturing of automotive parts.
There is a wide range of precision measuring tools and gages that should be considered as basic requirements in a metalworking operation for ensuring good quality control processes.
San Jose, Calif., company Sakuu Corp. is preparing to make its own batteries of ceramic and pure lithium and sell its AM technology later this year.
Companies that integrate an additive strategy into their supply chains are going to be well positioned for the future.
