The beauty of today’s manufacturing environment is that anyone can start a 3D printing service bureau and begin printing parts today. According to a recent report by Persistence Markets , the 3D printing service bureau industry is projected to surge eight times the size of its present state over the next decade.

Real Time Quality Control AI-based inspection systems can identify defects and anomalies in manufacturing processes in real time, thereby reducing the risk of product recalls and improving overall quality. AI predictions aren’t 100% accurate, but they do provide a data-based foundation for effective pricing strategies.

And we spent a lot of time also working with the teams in Europe, Switzerland, specifically Kellenberger. Jones and Shipman at the time, Hardinge UK at the time. Pete also appears in our sister podcast all about 3d printing or additive manufacturing. So we think we know where we need to go. I mix and edit the show.

The mobile labs will offer students demonstrations of production technologies such as desktop machine tools and 3D printing. Chicago-based FIRST Robotics teams will also lead demonstrations of their robots. ” This gives companies, such as Manz Automation, which specializes in assembly lines, a way into the American market.
