Will Voxeljet's High Speed Sintering Reinvent 3D Printing?
Zacks Equity Research: The HSS technology involves an infrared absorbing ink, that is selectively jetted onto layers of plastic powder, which are then exposed to infrared light. The powder melts under the light and forms functional plastic parts with qualities similar to those produced via Selective Laser Sintering, Multi Jet Fusion, or injection molding.
What does Industry 4.0 mean for the future of logistics?

Introducing Myriad X: Unleashing AI at the Edge
Remi El-Ouazzane for Intel: The First Vision Processing Unit with a Dedicated Neural Compute Engine will Give Devices the Ability to See, Understand and Interact with the World Around Them in Real Time
Machine Acquisition a Strategic Move for Indiana Manufacturer
We now make the part from solid, less expensive bar stock -- the whole part, including putting points on the end of the fins for water flow, taking cycle time down to 35% of what is used to take machining extruded stock. And now it is a stronger part as well.
Why Startups Are the Future for the Industrial Internet
Predictive maintenance is revolutionizing the industry and transforming the entire operation. This technology predicts problems in a factory before they even happen, changing the paradigm and preventing disasters.
Laser ultrasound: the future of metal 3D printing?
Nell Walker for Manufacturing Global: Using laser ultrasound rather than camera imaging, it is hoped that Duttons work could encourage the use of 3D printing within mass manufacturing industries, as it removes the need for a separate inspection process.

SKF is building a new generation of manufacturing systems, which embrace the power of todays digital technologies to achieve a further step-change in speed, efficiency and flexibility.
4 Process Trends Changing Manufacturing
Although some manufacturing leaders and their employees are hesitant to embrace new technology and hardware on the job site, these innovations are here to stay. Those who adapt to these new standards sooner rather than later will be ready to tackle Industry 4.0 and reap all the benefits it has to offer.
Space-Based 3-D Printing Reaches Milestone
Mike Wall, SPACE.com: A 3D printer built by the California-based company Made in Space churned out multiple polymer-alloy objects - the largest of which was a 33.5-inch-long (85 centimeters) beam - during a 24-day test inside a thermal vacuum chamber (TVAC) here in Silicon Valley at NASA's Ames Research Center in June.
