Three-dimensional (3D) printing of complex applications and machine components is a reality. 3D printing offers the ability to produce rapidly and at low cost both industrial-scale runs of high-value parts and one-of-a-kind parts. Now, with an advanced technology for metal parts, HP continues to reinvent the design, production, and distribution of 3D-printed parts to drive the digital transformation of manufacturing with the most advanced 3D metals printing technology for mass production: HP Metal Jet.

During application development, it is often the case that additive manufacturing and surface finishing processes are considered separately and sequentially. This leads to suboptimal results in terms of the final surface finish, as well as increased cost per part (CPP).

An enterprise tech ecosystem, consisting of robust and powerful software solutions built for a specific purpose, is the front line of all business operations. It’s also one of your company’s biggest investments and greatest assets. Certainly, the vast majority of manufacturers both large and small have at least begun their digital transformation journeys, adopting digital systems to streamline important areas of the business. Most organizations have focused their initial investments on digitizing core enterprise and operations systems like enterprise resource planning (ERP), materials requirement planning (MRP) and supply chain management (SCM) as well as their industrial equipment and automation systems

Today’s manufacturers are under pressure to be more flexible, reduce downtime and costs and increase efficiencies. In addition to making new investments in production and technology, data-driven manufacturing companies are responding to these pressures by leveraging the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), the industrial internet of things, (IIoT), cloud computing technologies and innovations in smart measurement and quality data management systems—resulting in greater visibility into their operations. Read our whitepaper, “Smart Measuring Systems for the Smart Factory,” to learn how Mitutoyo is helping advance factory intelligence.

In response to increasing demand by the investment community over the last dozen years, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has published guidance calling for greater disclosure by public companies of the risks and costs of climate change on their businesses. The SEC’s efforts to promote greater transparency on corporate environmental impact culminated on March 21, 2022, with the promulgation of a proposed rule setting forth a sweeping array of new requirements for detailed disclosure of those risks and costs, with particular attention to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. If adopted, the rule would impose on publicly-held manufacturers significant obligations not only to make these disclosures but also to establish an extensive system of disclosure and accounting controls needed to ensure the periodic capture, assessment, and dissemination of a company’s exposure to climate-related risk and impact on the environment. Appropriate maintenance of any such system would require rigorous assessment of the adequacy of design and operating effectiveness of those controls.

In the past five years, there’s been a significant shift in what’s expected from manufacturers: in particular, speed to market and increasing production demand. Many have been seriously affected by COVID-19, and are still looking to keep costs down while delivering a high-quality product. And although Europe’s industrial production had grown year-on-year prior to 2020, facilities are battling against increased customer demand, supply chain delays, and shortages of materials
