In the rapidly evolving field of robotics and automation, material science plays a critical role in pushing the boundaries of what robotic systems can achieve. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has emerged as a crucial material in this context, particularly for soft robotics and advanced automation applications. Known for its unique combination...
According to marketsandmarkets.com, the 3D printing materials market is expected to grow from $2.5 billion in 2022 to $7.9 billion by 2027. With the introduction of new 3D printing materials, engineers can improve the performance and cost-efficiency of a wide range of applications. Among these materials, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)...
Automotive manufacturers’ continuous quest for lighter, stronger, and more efficient vehicles has driven many to adopt 3D printing as a viable manufacturing solution. With innovation and cost being the driving force behind progress, many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are looking to integrate
Manufacturing aids, including jigs and fixtures, help hold and position parts for subsequent operations. While some general-purpose tooling is made for multiple uses on the factory floor, jigs and fixtures are often custom made for specific operations, and are especially useful for managing complex production and assembly operations. With HP...
