For decades, industrial automation has been defined by powerful but rigid robots confined to cages, endlessly repeating a single task, a model that has left a staggering 70% of the manufacturing world—the dynamic, high-variation realm of discrete manufacturing—largely untouched. This vast,
The global metal powder market is on a robust trajectory of substantial growth, with projections indicating an expansion from an estimated USD 7.21 billion to over USD 9.12 billion by 2030, a clear signal of its increasing importance in modern manufacturing. This impressive expansion, which
The intricate journey from a digital blueprint to a physically realized metal component has historically been a fragmented process, demanding a complex and often inefficient dance between multiple specialized software tools. Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB), a transformative force in additive
A critical component failure on a forward-deployed submarine thousands of miles from the nearest industrial depot represents one of the most significant logistical challenges for modern navies, potentially sidelining a billion-dollar asset for weeks or months. However, a landmark achievement under
In the heart of America's industrial revival, a significant move signals a deeper integration of advanced automation and traditional manufacturing prowess, as Boston-based Flexxbotics establishes a new operational hub in Detroit. The company, a provider of process control software for automated
The world of additive manufacturing, with its breakneck speed and single-button simplicity, often stands in stark contrast to the traditional, labor-intensive processes of subtractive manufacturing. For decades, turning a digital 3D model into a precision-milled metal component has remained a craft
