Adidas reveals the first 3D-printed shoe it'll mass-produce
James Vincent for The Verge: The company says 100,000 pairs of Futurecraft sneakers will be made by the end of 2018
Revolutionizing the IIoT Industry One Streetlight at a Time
IEEE Spectrum: When Zimmerman recognized that a light pole could potentially solve all three of those challenges, the idea for Kairo began to take form. Over several months, Ubicquia designed and built a wide range of microcontroller boards featuring a variety of sensors and actuators that could be housed in a form factor no larger than a soda can.

How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Gateway
The Four Benefits of Using a Gateway in Your IoT Design
Corrosion Resistant Plastic Cooling Towers Cut Costs for Sintering Operations
For metalworking operations using extreme heats, engineered plastic cooling towers provide effective cooling without corroding, outlasting traditional alternatives.
Finding the flow creates a new way to 3D-print metal
Eric Mack for New Atlas: A team of engineers has developed a new way of 3D-printing metals that could improve on existing, laser-on-powder based methods. It relies on using semi-solid metals that are solid at rest, but can flow when force is applied, making it possible to move through the nozzle of a printer. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) hope that the process could lead to higher-quality and lighter metal parts.
GE Launches Brilliant Skills Curriculum to Train Workers for Digital Industrial Future
GE announced today a proprietary skills curriculum to train global supply chain employees for new, highly valuable jobs needed in our digital industrial economy. This new initiative will focus on lean, advanced, additive and digital manufacturing. Built on GE's Brilliant Factory strategy, which uses big data, software, sensors, controllers and robotics to increase productivity, 'Brilliant Learning' is designed for GE's global supply chain employees but will also be available to all employees, in multiple languages across all levels of manufacturing roles.
Virtual Reality in Manufacturing
In manufacturing, a MR system can indicate the name and attribution of parts by displaying virtual labels overlaying the objects. The system can guide an assembler, showing virtual arrows as to where the part goes into an assembly.
Global Supply Chain Requires Demand-Driven Real-Time Adaptive Supplier Monitoring
Without good contracts, a manufacturer may be fully exposed to liability - without protection and legal recourse against the responsible party - and at the mercy of the laws of other jurisdictions.
Abu Dhabi, Dubai Partner with GE for Region's 1st Microfactories
