At the start of the Ukraine conflict, CISA issued a “Shields Up” alert to all critical infrastructure in an effort to stave off potential cyber attacks from Russia. 6 months later, the proverbial “shields” are still up but is the U.S. critical infrastructure more secure because of it? I was wondering if I should have more security than I have being a manufacturing and industrial site.

While flipping through a vintage (2015-2016) Harvard Business Review (printed) magazine, I was struck by the article “Why Strategy Execution Unravels—and What to Do About It” by Donald Sull, Rebecca Homkes, and Charles Sull. It seems that the problems described 10 years ago are still around us, namely horizontal alignment (coordination) in strategy execution.

The ability to proactively use 3D digital data in the medical space really came to fruition with the start of additive manufacturing in the late 1980s. Since then, stunning advances have occurred, especially in mass personalization. Take, for example, the commercialization of Invisalign dental aligners in 1999 using indirect 3D printing of forms, and the creation of patient-matched in-ear hearing aid cases by Siemens in the early 2000s, with millions of patients treated.

Article by Daniel Tweer, Managing Director, Rösler UK / AM Solutions. Post-processing is a hot topic in the area of additive manufacturing (AM), which is unsurprising as in many applications, the post-processing step(s) can account for upwards of 50% of the total unit cost for an AM part. So the drive is on to reduce the time and cost of the post-processing step in product development, while simultaneously keeping an eagle eye on the unswerving need for precision and repeatability in production.
