For decades there have been five basic types of manufacturing processes. They are distinct. Great design engineers understand the nuances of these processes and tailor their designs accordingly. There ...

The arrival of Additive Manufacturing (AM) as a valid alternative to the original five manufacturing processes is really going to shake up the factory. Within 3 to 5 years, engineering and ...

Most of us identify manufacturing processes by the equipment used. But manufacturing is also identified in a broader sense, by the way, the manufacturing is being accomplished. A single way a product ...

The field of additive manufacturing is undergoing a profound transformation as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become integral to the ...

If you’ve avoided thinking about additive manufacturing for fear of fixing what isn’t broken, you’re not wrong. Additive opens up an entirely new realm of possibilities and, depending on your point of ...

Over the last 13 years, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) has explored the use of polymer/composite and metal additive manufacturing (AM) as a cost- and time-saving alternative to ...

In 2017, additive manufacturing continued to push companies in new directions. From aerospace and medical to automotive and energy, additive manufacturing took center stage as companies sought to ...

How did TRUMPF get involved in additive manufacturing? We started working with additive manufacturing as early as the mid-1990s, when we experimented with using CO2 lasers for powder-type additive ...

Siemens announced a new Additive Manufacturing (AM) Process Simulation solution for predicting distortion during 3D printing. The product is fully integrated into Siemens’ end-to-end Additive ...
