3D Printing Techniques and Rapid Prototyping

October 20, 2018

The primary driving factor for the adoption of 3D printing techniques in the development of products is that 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process. Traditionally, products are constructed using a subtractive process that involves removing material from an object until it creates the desired part. Products that are manufactured with this method are most mass produced items.

AUTONOMOUS SWEEPERS IN MODERN PRODUCTION FACILITIES

whitePaper | June 12, 2022

Automation has been a driving force behind greater productivity and efficiency in manufacturing companies since the 1980s. In the 2020s, a new generation of applications will enable even more production companies to benefit from the potential of automated processes. Advances in sensor technology and networking enable increasingly complex tasks to be performed reliably and safely by robots. Thanks to high-performance sensor technology, they can automatically react to many changing circumstances. Connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), the robots automatically provide information about progress and incidents. Via a remote connection, the IoT technology can be provided with new instructions, monitored, and remotely operated if necessary.
