MaxxVision GmbH presents two new CoaxPress high-performance cameras from the Canadian manufacturer IO Industries.

3D optical profiling, developed in the early 1990s, is crucial for high-resolution measurement of optics, semiconductors, medical devices, and precision machining. Recent developments have expanded its capabilities, allowing high-resolution surface texture measurements over many square millimeters in minutes.

Mahr Inc. announced a new solution for contour measurement.

The singularity—or more accurately, the technological singularity—“is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences for human civilization.” 

No robot can replace a person, but they can handle dull, dangerous, or repetitive tasks, freeing up employees for more fulfilling work. Businesses need to embrace robotics to efficiently adapt to production cycles and address supply chain backlogs and labor shortages.

America Makes, the national additive manufacturing (AM) innovation institute, announced the recipients of its 2024 Ambassador Awards and Distinguished Collaborator Award at the annual Members Meeting and Exchange (MMX) event held on August 6-7 in Youngstown, OH.

The growing use of AI in manufacturing has revolutionized quality control. Traditional inspection methods struggle to keep pace with complex production processes, but AI augments accuracy and efficiency, upholding high-quality standards.

The National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM) and America Makes, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, announced the winners of the $6M Powder Alloy Development for Additive Manufacturing (PADAM) project funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

When discussing material strength, a material only needs to be as strong as necessary. Other properties like lightness, manufacturability, and sustainability also matter. Paper can be the ideal choice with resourceful processing and innovative design, despite being seemingly weaker as a raw material.

U.S. Department of Labor funding will help train and place community college graduates with employers in manufacturing, clean energy, supply chains, semiconductors, and nanotechnology.
