Optomec printers offer unique advantages over traditional approaches to 3D printing. Most industrial 3D Printers on the market today print plastic parts used as a visual mock-up for the real end-user part. In some cases, 3D Printers will deposit sacrificial materials such as sand to build molds, which in turn are then used to build end products.

…made of materials including but not limited to paper, plastic, leather, rubber and other materials. Amazon does have its own bedding and towel brand, called Pinzon. Two of the inventors named in the patent are Aaron Barnet and Nancy Liang, co-founders of the 3-D printing startup Mixee Labs, who went to work at Amazon in 2015. Last year, Amazon rolled out seven in-house fashion brands and some analysts estimate it is the biggest clothing retailer in the U.S. In September, Amazon ran a $15 million on TV ad campaign, featuring fall fashions from Amazon.com (watch video above). And last month,…

…be done by robots. Early adopters like Florida-based Tuthill Plastics Group and German magnet manufacturer MS Schramberg have found the formula for success is straightforward: Step 1: Find a task that people should not be doing. Step 2: Get those folks to show the robot what needs to be done. Step 3: Measure the increase in efficiency and productivity. Step 4: Move on to the next task. It really is that simple. Today, these robots work on specific tasks, in work cells, alongside people, increasing productivity and enabling greater flexibility. Change is inevitable, and it doesn’t have to be hard.…

…into automotive industry, electrical and electronics, chemical, rubber and plastics, machinery, metals industry, food and beverages, precision and optics. Among these, the automotive industry segment dominated the market in 2012 at $7.37 billion. However, the segment is expected to witness low growth owing to slow down in the automotive industry. The food and beverages segment is expected to witness highest growth rate of 6.9% over the forecast period owing to rising food and beverages industry. Moreover, the rising need and customized solutions to make the process faster especially in unexplored regions such as Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa is expected…

…is then applied and the carton continues up a plastic belted spiral conveyor, as it is routed to a custom-designed sluicing mechanism. To maintain clean room standards, each carton enters the air locked chamber before traveling to the palletizing and shipping area. After the sluicing mechanism opens one door on the production side, products enter, the door closes and another opens to an automated roller conveyor, which descends to the robotic palletizing cell. Two lines of products feed the robotic palletizing cell in a two in, two out design. The conveyor system accumulates four cartons in a row, and the…

…led to the development of barriers comprised of fabric, plastics and other new materials—and a growing awareness that safety barriers are no longer a one-size-fits-all proposition,” says Troy Bergum, product manager at Rite-Hite. “Safety and facility managers need to become more sophisticated in their evaluations of barrier needs, analyzing location-specific traffic patterns and other issues, rather than just defaulting to steel that is heavy enough to withstand 10,000 pounds at 4 mph.” Dock seals: In addition, another means of protection—dock seals—are also being replaced with new alternatives, as they do not currently have the longevity they once did, primarily due…

…and electronics (90%), food and consumer goods (82%), and plastics and rubber (44%) industries all experienced sizable increases over the same period in 2015. While it is still the largest industry in terms of volume for robotics, orders to the automotive industry grew only 1% in the first quarter of 2016. In terms of applications, the biggest increases were realized in spot welding (31%), assembly (15%), and material handling (6%). “As the technology behind robots is evolving, the number of tasks they are able to perform is increasing,” Burnstein said. “Today more than ever, robots can handle complex tasks at…
