3D Printing Technologies for Prototyping and Production

whitePaper | November 15, 2022

The need for modernization based on digital capabilities is evident in almost all areas of the manufacturing enterprise today – not just on the shopfloor, but also in the sales, planning, engineering, and service functions. Significant shifts are underway in the manufacturing industry driven by world events as well as technology. This paper discusses these shifts in the industry along with key business and technology capabilities manufacturers need today to navigate this disruption and stay competitive. It also shows how Infosys Discrete Manufacturing Solution can empower manufacturers with these capabilities.

In the late 18th century, the first industrial revolution transformed hand production methods into steam machines. The second industrial revolution which occurred at the end of the 19th century revolutionized communication and transport methods with the telegraph and railway. The third revolution brought computing power to manufacturing processes in the second half of the 20th century.

In the swarm of buzzwords surrounding today’s manufacturing sector, the “Smart Factory” or “Factory of the Future” buzz is especially prominent. In this white paper featuring experts from Siemens Digital Industries Software, we’ll unpack the meaning of the term, examine key considerations in understanding its value and explore a few important takeaways for how to take advantage of these technologies, including for small and medium businesses (SMBs).

Manufacturing continues to move further into the digital age, but for many small and medium-sized shops, the concept of Industry 4.0 still seems out of reach. Many of these manufacturers understand that they need to take advantage of digitization to remain competitive, but they are not sure where to begin or what technologies they can integrate For the highest return on investment (ROI). Fortunately, relatively inexpensive turnkey digital solutions have simplified this process – and made it possible for manufacturers of all sizes to realize the benefits of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) with access to tool identification, inventory management and machine monitoring

In order to achieve digital manufacturing through Industry 4.0, it is critical to aggregate and manage the huge amount of data generated in the factory by Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors and devices. Having connected machines, workers and systems is just the start of the digital transformation journey. To extract real value from this connectivity, a digital twin of machines and processes have to be modeled in a standardized manner which will help aggregate heterogeneous data and provide valuable insights to drive productivity and efficiency. The interoperability and flexibility of different assets is an important challenge due to the volume and variety of data that needs to be modeled. This paper will go over Industry 4.0 compliant data modeling principles using the MongoDB Smart Factory testbed as an example. We will model the data using MongoDB Atlas in a way that fulfills requirements and needs of Industry 4.0: interoperability, flexibility and scalability.

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.
