Additive Manufacturing Insights. Additive manufacturing, also called 3Dprinting, has emerged as a powerful approach of material development and is being used in manufacturing applications. Additive manufacturing, also called 3Dprinting, has recently emerged as a powerful approach of material development.
Texas A&M University has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, which is needed for the ink used in 3Dprinting, or additive manufacturing. This also allows any researcher to build 3D bioprinters tailored to fit their own research needs.
A University of Washington team created a new tool that can design a 3D-printable passive gripper and calculate the best path to pick up an object. The team tested this system on a suite of 22 objects — including a 3D-printed bunny, a doorstop-shaped wedge, a tennis ball and a drill. Courtesy: University of Washington.
Digital twins and digital transformation can help additive manufacturers improve their quality control and make products that are better and more durable. Additive manufacturing (AM) and other 3Dprinting technologies advances were showcased at Rapid + TCT, an exhibition and conference sponsored by SME, at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Hoske, Control Engineering Welding, CNC, 3Dprinting and other skills for manufacturing The JARC manufacturing training portion of the tour included four welding booths, two CNC machines and a 3D printer that help teach manufacturing skills to those in need of higher-paying, more fulfilling careers than what they had.

This helps manufacturers automate programming by applying their own standard CNC programming, inspection path methods, tools and program templates, and ensures that correct revisions of parts are programmed and measured on the shop floor, creating one source of data for the digital manufacturing process.

Current as of 2/6/23 This article contains information on exhibitors on the Software and Simulation Services/Simulation Services, Training and Marketing products and services in the Moldmaking Pavilion and across the show floor.
Smart manufacturing trends, digital twins Batch size of one is starting to move into the consumer package goods industry and is particularly driven by things like additive manufacturing, 3Dprinting, etc.
Muhammad Rahman , an assistant research professor of materials science and nanoengineering, is employing Rice’s unique flash Joule heating process to convert asphaltenes instantly into turbostratic (loosely aligned) graphene and mix it into composites for thermal, anti-corrosion and 3D-printing applications.
