How Automation is Advancing Healthcare

The Ask Me Anything Manufacturing (#AMAmfg) webinar series provides a forum for technology users to ask questions of and get live advice from leading experts in key technology areas.

The next generation of collaborative robots features increased payloads and higher speeds, increasing the range of applications across all industries. Join Joe Campbell, Head of Strategic Marketing for Universal Robots, as he shares more about this new generation of cobots, what hardware and software features have been upgraded, and how UR is powering robust automation solutions throughout the industry.

Manufacturers today face an increasingly complex set of challenges: navigating shifting supply chains, increasing efficiency to remain profitable in the face of rising labor costs, and getting products to market fast enough to meet customer demands. This is rapidly changing. In the past six years, Formlabs has been helping manufacturers across industries and of all sizes to improve planning, validation, and production workflows.

Cold spray is a manufacturing process whereby metal particles are shot at high pressure through a converging-diverging nozzle in a heated gas stream toward a substrate surface at supersonic speeds. This very high speed gas becomes a carrier of the metallic particles that imbed themselves upon impact to a substrate, forming a strong bond with that surface. This process has emerged as a traditional manufacturing alternative, providing an Additive Manufacturing direct part production, repair, and coating process opportunity. This webinar will provide an overview of how this process is being utilized today, and where it’s emerging for future use as well.
