3D printing is continuously disrupting the manufacturing value chain. By eliminating the conventional manufacturing tools such as boring machines and drill presses to a greater extent, 3D printing is redefining the way products are built. Moreover, the combination of 3D printing and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and IoT is improving the manufacturing space by allowing firms to quickly detect any issue related to quality control of the 3D printed parts.
AI caters to one of the most important requirements in the additive manufacturing arena—greater precision and reproducibility of 3D printed parts. By enabling teams with real-time control of the production environment, AI helps in tackling errors and reducing waste of time and materials during printing. Integrating with IoT, additive manufacturing systems allow companies to build efficient product prototypes and ensure the end product delivers the expected outcomes.
In the wake of these technology transitions in the 3D printing space, we are glad to feature Monocure 3D, an Australia-based company that develops high-quality UV curable resin suitable for digital light processing (DLP) and stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers. The company’s offering aids firms in building highly accurate 3D parts of different geometries at the same time.
To assist modern organizations in taking advantage of the innovative 3D printing technology, this edition of Manufacturing Technology Insights features a list of leading vendors along with insightful articles from thought leaders in the 3D printing arena.
