AM Is Changing The Factory Game February 4, 2019 Additive manufacturing (AM) is being used to fabricate parts for applications as varied as aircraft and auto production, dental restoration, medical implants and more.
Testing the Metal November 27, 2018 Materials science has opened new possibilities for designers of cars, planes and other products. Metal alloys are now as precisely engineered as they are machined. The result is longer lasting, stronger parts. But with a wider selection of materials comes risk—how can you be sure that one piece of gray metal stock is different than another? Careful warehousing procedures and paperwork only go so far.
How AM is Changing Inspection in Smart Factories November 1, 2018 In the manufacturing industry, the importance of metrology, or the science of measurement, is often underestimated. However, inspection is critical for ensuring products work and operate safely.
MD&M East Offers Myriad Medical Solutions October 3, 2018 More durable and versatile therapeutic wearable material, more accurate part measurement and improved automation and 3D printing were among the many technologies on display at this year’s Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) East conference, June 12-14, in New York City.
Survey: Manufacturers Behind the IIoT Curve September 10, 2019 Software AG (Frankfurt, MDAX: SOW) announced an original survey of over 125 North American manufacturers in the heavy industry and automotive sectors that revealed they are unable to scale their Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) investments across their enterprises, and therefore are losing millions of dollars in potential profits while falling behind competitors that have invested in enabling technologies that support IIoT across the enterprise.
High QA Establishes European Headquarters October 31, 2019 High QA, Inc., the developer of Inspection Manager Quality Management Software, has established a headquarters operation in Sevenum, Netherlands, to directly serve its customers on the European continent.
CAM Software Automates, Maximizes Five-Axis Machining September 5, 2019 Implementing five-axis machining can be an excellent strategy for efficiently producing accurate, complex parts. However, it takes more than the right machine tool to realize the full potential of a five-axis process. In addition to the right machine, tooling and fixturing options, CAM software must be selected carefully.
Strengthening Supply Chains September 25, 2023 Amid supply chain woes and labor constraints, aerospace and defense industries innovate. Lean principles, vertical integration, and advanced tech reshape the supply chain.
Cobots and Simulation Software for Non-Destructive Evaluation September 26, 2023 NASA's Langley Research Center is using collaborative robots (cobots) and RoboDK software to automate and enhance the inspection of aircraft fuselages. By utilizing dual cobots, heating elements, and infrared cameras, NASA has significantly improved inspection speed, accuracy, and coverage.
AM for MRO Helps Extend Aircraft Lifespan September 28, 2023 Discover how laser additive manufacturing is revolutionizing aerospace maintenance, repair, and sustainability, helping extend the lifespan of aircraft parts while mitigating supply chain challenges.
