SMART CONNECTED ASSEMBLY - FROM VISION TO REALITY

A key enabler is an emergency and use of new technologies for connecting people, equipment, and machines. And with it, the improved capacity for integrated analysis and use of large amounts of data across value chains. Another is the development and adoption of Industry 4.0 in industrial environments as a critical element of smarter and more automated manufacturing and assembly. Manufacturing companies have been implementing sensors and computerized automation for decades. But seamless connectivity and communication have been missing for establishing a fully connected production network, in which information carriers communicate with each other and exchange data and information in near real time. And this is true for both machine-to-machine and machine-to enterprise systems. The data and information can be used to improve productivity and quality, but also offer opportunities to introduce new or enhanced services to customers.

Digital Twin Technology

whitePaper | November 30, 2022

The manufacturing and production sectors grapple with significant challenges arising from component failures, which often lead to disruptive operational interruptions. The economic impact of such disruptions can be profound, with every downtime minute potentially translating into thousands of dollars in lost revenue. While regular and planned maintenance can somehow mitigate these unplanned downtimes, they are unable to completely assure against potential component failures.

Silicone Part Production With 3D Printed Tools

whitePaper | January 9, 2023

Silicone rubber has many applications, from hearing aids to handles and grips on consumer goods. This report provides an overview of 3D printed tooling for silicone part production, including two part injection molds, overmolds, compression molds, and eggshell molds. These methods can be employed for the prototyping of soft silicone products, small-batch production of customer beta units, or production of custom end-use goods. A step-by-step guide is provided for producing a silicone keychain with an encapsulated Apple AirTag, employing mold design best practices from several Formlabs product design customers. We also present information about successful material workflows from Formlabs users, including silicone-resin compatibility and recommended mold releases for both tin and platinum cure silicones.
