Additive Manufacturing: The State of the Industry

There is an iconic triaxial vertical machining center there, and the 2-axis CNC lathe is one of the two basic elements of every machine plant. Or it is very likely that everyone starts working in the garage and beginners are processing parts while refraining from daily work at night. In the most basic configuration, these single machines with automatic tool changer (ATC) are sufficient for machining large flat workpieces that require basic milling and drilling operations Only a minimum number of tools can be accommodated.

Technology and Innovation Center, Mohanville Sawney Director of Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern University, today at the 2nd Smart Factory World Symposium, IBM will be "all over the Internet" (IoE) than "the Internet of things" (IoT) maybe. Sawhney picked up IBM's Watson IoT business analytics technology in the speech at the conference but realized today's technology giant cooperated with Cisco "announcing immediate IoT insight at the edge of the network" did not.

Pratt & Whitney is actively looking for a smart manufacturing solution that can successfully increase the monthly production of military and civil aircraft engines which are lean transformation managers of Thermal Segment Module Center at the 2nd Smart Factory World Symposium yesterday . In 2010, P & W delivered about 55 engines per month. In 2017, this number increased to about 100 units per month. She said that in 2024, it continued to rise to approximately 158 engine delivery every month.

i-SCOOP's people-oriented technical experts said, "Although there is a visual aspect, it is" Industry 0 ", which is a very realistic phenomenon, connecting manufacturing and other industries to connectivity and digital Change to manufacturing ... other advantages and series of technological advances beyond pure operational aspects have changed to the possibility of the so-called fourth industrial revolution. "DTIM is Germany's largest industry's largest annual conference with a strategic innovation theme, Germany's largest industry event, this is a three-day forum, with innovative experts, leaders, and decision-making A person's conceptualization shares a collective experience of successful strategies and solutions.

As the next industrial revolution, 3D printing reduces the manufacturing costs of prototypes, parts and tools. Just as the world is exploring the concept of layered modeling for industrial use, the next revolution in 3D printing, a new approach based on 3D light patterns, is rapidly shifting from research and development to metal sintering I will. . From the tool warehouse to the 3D print house to the micron size precision part, only one machine is necessary to make these structures. To narrow down the printer. When you provide the appropriate design file, extrusion printer, large (for residential) or small (for fine parts) nozzles, the selected building material will be deposited automatically. Do you need a house? I set it up, added concrete, I will come back after 24 hours and start moving the furniture.

3D printing has grown into an industry worth $ 6,663 million and has a wide range of industrial sectors. In 2016, it is well known that worldwide sales in the "laminated modeling" industry increased by 17.4%. Last year, nearly 500,000 printers shipped, but this is meaningless compared to 6.70 million printers expected in 2020. Companies such as Formlabs and Stratasys are trying to extend the manufacturing method of 3D printing to enhance the competitiveness of conventional manufacturing methods. ROI ROI As the production of these printers increases and the process is automated (an important part of every aspect of today's manufacturing), the total production cost is dramatically reduced. As a result, it will be a more cost-effective product that can more quickly create and reduce human intervention.
