The SafeMate research project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the “Innovations for the Production, Service and Work of Tomorrow” program, strategies and concepts were developed for the introduction and design of collaborative assembly workplaces.
CAD/CAM improves generative design, print simulation, path programming and process control in additive manufacturing.
AI software enables the company to capture relevant runtime metadata and put it into context to create useful information in real time.
Interoperability will make the autonomous mobile robot’s world go ‘round
Tide Rock Holdings, a San Diego-based holding company, recently acquired Plastic Molding Technology, a full-service precision injection molding company located in El Paso, Texas.
Metal diffusion bonding is an essential joining method for achieving a high-purity interface when two similar metals require superior structural integrity. The process involves applying high temperature, and pressure to metals mated together in a hot press causes the atoms on solid metallic surfaces to intersperse and bond.
Key steps are virtual twins and real relationships.
Sandvik Coromant’s Package Selector Application analyzes a 3D CAD model of a product and recommends the smallest packaging possible using an AI algorithm that calculates the product’s rotation.
The acquisition of CAD/CAM pioneer Mastercam by Sandvik Manufacturing Solutions will help further tooling developments.
