The process with which a part will be manufactured considerably impacts its design, and product designers rely on years of experience and comprehensive process design guidelines to design parts specifically for the manufacturing process with which they will be produced. Typically it’s a collection of parts that come together to make the final assembly, and every one of those parts...
Manufacturing for production has for a long time been seated in well-established methods and processes. Machining processes like milling, turning, drilling, and Injection Molding have been tried, tested, scrutinized, and reworked over hundreds of years and today, they make up a body of manufacturing know-how that is used and trusted by thousands of companies worldwide. So when a technology as...
Today's production industry is one that places high emphasis on innovation and speed. To beat the competition, product designers and engineers are constantly on the lookout for faster and more efficient ways to create and test new ideas before taking them to market. As a result, rapid prototyping with Additive Manufacturing (AM) is steadily gaining popularity. Thanks to how AM technology...
Overview The medical industry has taken massive leaps forward since the introduction of Additive Manufacturing. With the rise in adoption rate of Additive Manufacturing in the last few years, we have seen a wide spectrum of uses in the medical space. A whole new world of customized orthotics, prosthetics and medical device components is now possible. With the advent of Multi Jet Fusion...
Industry Situation From design to launch, it typically takes anywhere from 2 to 5 years, or even longer. Much of it is based on the technology at that very point in time. As such, automotive engineers often consider cutting edge technology and utilize the latest to help bring their ideas to market rapidly. A typical automotive vehicle would take on average 17...
