…paper outlining the new approach. In particular, SLA additive manufacturing, which uses photopolymerizable resin and a light source to cure the cross-sectional layers of geometry making up the part, can be especially slow since performance is limited by the need to initiate time-consuming separation or recoating steps between the layers of the output. Print speeds in most available SLA systems range from only a few millimeters to several centimeters an hour, and the process often yields parts with ridged surfaces, which are not suitable for production-grade products, the paper noted. Rapid, Continuous Additive Manufacturing The University of Michigan’s research team…

…(NPS) announces a strategic collaboration focused on advancing additive manufacturing research, specifically 3D printing, which has the potential to transform the way the military supplies its forward-deployed forces, organizations note. As part of a Collaborative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), NPS was the first to receive an installation of the Xerox ElemX Liquid Metal Printer on the university campus in December. The Xerox solution will provide NPS faculty and students with hands-on exploration of new ways the technology can deliver on-demand 3D printing of metal parts and equipment. “The military supply chain is among the most complex in the world,…

…dexterous manipulations. This could enable applications in biomedicine and manufacturing, they said this week. The team of scientists created the miniature robots by embedding magnetic microparticles into biocompatible polymers—non-toxic materials that are harmless to humans. The robots are “programmed” to execute their desired functionalities when magnetic fields are applied. The robots improve on many existing small-scale robots by optimizing their ability to move in six degrees of freedom (DoF), said Nanyang Technological University (NTU). It defined six DoF as translational movement along the three spatial axes, and rotational movement about those three axes, commonly known as roll, pitch and yaw…

…intelligent, flexible, and customized warehouse automation through advanced robotics technology and AI algorithms. The company developed HAIPICK, its first ACR system, in 2015 and put it into commercial operation in 2018. Robots handle cases autonomously HAIPICK uses ACRs to store and retrieve up to eight cases at a time in tall, narrow storage aisles. This dense storage configuration can enable operations to reduce square-footage dedicated to storage, according to HAI Robotics. Once cases are retrieved, the robots work in a goods-to-person framework, moving inventory into position to fuel order fulfillment and other logistics processes. By using the HAIPICK system, customers…
