With new capacities, faster speeds, digitalized inventory, and innovative materials, additive manufacturing is moving inventory closer to the customer and forever changing global supply chains. A new year brings great promise for inspiration and change. We need both of these…
“…Utilising 3D printing for the Eutelsat Hotbird satellites provides major labour savings and significantly reduces the number of individual required parts, according to Gareth Penlington, the Hotbird payload manager at Airbus: “This is recognised as the first large-scale deployment of…
As the technology scales up, it’s being tasked with providing robust new solutions—but it’s also running into some of the same old building problems It seems that every few months the architecture world marvels at the latest 3D-printed prototype or art installation…
“AM technology increases the flexibility of manufacturing and production processes, reducing both our dependence on global supply chains and logistics expenses.” The COVID-19 virus has affected the world in an unprecedented way. The pandemic has shown us just how deeply…
3D printing refers to a computer-controlled construction system, in which material is deposited and layered in an organized manner to form a physical object based on a computationally designed plan. The ease of distribution of digital files that then allow…
