Top Manufacturing Trends Looking Into 2025
The manufacturing industry thrives on competition. If you can keep up with the digital transformation, emerging technology, and workforce changes, you can leverage opportunities to boost operational efficiency and put competitors in your rearview mirror.
Equal Parts: Assessing the Viability of Large Format Additive Manufacturing
Whether you're a manufacturer already embracing the technology or still assessing what it could do, there a few things to consider when it comes to evaluating the suitability of the technology for specific parts production and which parts could be optimized with LFAM.
Using Advanced Cooling Techniques to Reduce Cycle Times and Improve Quality in Injection Molding
If parts do not cool down enough or cooling happens unevenly, they can shrink or warp, requiring time-consuming rework processes. Fortunately, numerous ways exist to accelerate cooling time while ensuring it happens effectively.
3D Printing and Sustainable Auto Manufacturing: A Glimpse into the Future
The excitement around 3D printing in the automotive industry is easier to understand in light of growing sustainability needs. While vehicles themselves may be the most obvious target for emissions reductions in this sector, the production side needs improvement, too.
Audi Sport Accelerates Design and Production Processes with trinckle Software and UltiMaker 3D Printers
When the new Audi E-Tron GT was introduced, the Audi Sport BÃ'llinger Höfe location in Heilbronn, Germany, rapidly needed almost 200 new tools, jigs and fixtures for its production. Designing these tools costs a lot of time.
THE ROLE OF MICRO MOLDING IN THE PRODUCTION OF MICRO-OPTICS
Achieving the exacting tolerances required for these delicate micro-optic parts necessitates a deep and specialized processing knowledge that is distinctly different from that used for typical mechanical parts.
THE IMPACT OF 3D PRINTING ON MICRO MOLDING - A SYNERGISTIC APPROACH
The precision achieved in micro molding is not just about miniaturization, it's about reproducing complex shapes with exacting tolerances that are measured in microns repeatably.
The Evolution of Additive Manufacturing: How Automation Redefines Post-Processing Standards
In 2024, post processing metal parts is still a bottleneck in the AM process chain because it is still very often a manual, labor-intensive, messy (filthy, actually) and sometimes risky task.
THE RISE OF AUTOMATION IN METAL AM POST-PROCESSING - TRANSFORMING THE INDUSTRY WITH PRECISION AND EFFICIENCY
We delve into how automation in metal AM post processing is setting a new industry standard, and how companies like Rivelin Robotics are leading this change with their Netshape® Robots to unlock new productivity and efficiency gains.
NANO DIMENSION'S TERA 250vx ENHANCES ACCUMOLD'S MICRO INJECTION MOLDING SERVICE
Today, Micro-Additive Manufacturing (Micro-AM) solution like the Tera 250vx from Nano Dimension can additively manufacture or 3D print micro parts and components only previously possible through the use of micro injection molding.
The Future of Computer Aided Manufacturing & Fabrication
Playing a key role in ensuring that automation is incorporated into the fabrication process helps to keep things moving along as quickly and efficiently as possible for manufacturing businesses around the world.
What's in store for 2024: Top 5 industry trends
The manufacturing industry is undergoing significant changes due to the swift advancement of technology and evolving global dynamics.
This 3D printer can watch itself fabricate objects
Computer vision enables contact-free 3D printing, letting engineers print with high-performance materials they couldn't use before.
AM Research Publishes In-Depth Market Study on Additive Manufacturing for Military and Defense; Estimates $0.3B in Direct DoD Spend in 2023, Growing to $1.8B in 2032
The comprehensive study sheds light on the rapid evolution and potential impact of additive manufacturing technologies on the defense and military landscape.
CLEANING UP AM'S DIRTY SECRET
The fact that post processing metal parts requires such intensive manual intervention throws up a series of follow-on problems. These include part-to-part quality inconsistencies, repetition fatigue, significant health & safety risks.
