…the value of 3D printing for cost-effectively and flexibly delivery these satellites to orbit. In April, Launcher purchased a metal additive manufacturing system to print Inconel parts, and it recently added another one that prints titanium. “Rocket engine turbopump parts typically require casting, forging, and welding,” said Max Haot, founder and CEO of Launcher. “Tooling required for these processes increases the cost of development and reduces flexibility between design iterations. The ability to 3D print our turbopump—including rotating Inconel-shrouded impellers, thanks to Velo3D’s zero-degree technology—makes it possible now at a lower cost and increased innovation through iteration between each prototype.”…

…includes four facilities nationwide. This coverage allows for local-to-local delivery to more than 80% of the Canadian population, the company said. It explained that its intelligent platform provides real-time data and insights. This enables businesses to optimize inventory positioning and levels, helping to reduce stockouts and improving the customer experience, according to Darwynn. This information gives customers full transparency into the operation, allowing for informed decisions to be made quickly, it said. In addition to the successful deployment, Darwynn said it plans to expand its physical footprint with a facility it acquired in Montreal, Quebec, on Feb. 1. The 100,000-sq.-ft.…

…times the cost and achieve literally the same power delivery.” LaFevers recently visited a site with nine large, power-intensive charging stations for lithium-ion equipment. Of the trucks parked in the charger bays, only one was plugged in. “That’s a piece you have to ask yourself: What is the likelihood that the operator will fail to charge? Then change your math. It starts to really put some holes in the payback model.” Holes in data collection practices present opportunities to find and quantify efficiencies. LaFevers explains that some customers have advanced warehouse management and labor management systems with very visible data…

…safely and accurately assessed using quadruped robots. Unassisted AI Delivery Traditional, wheeled, mobile robots are already experiencing a growing wave of commercial adoption, especially as e-commerce delivery systems. Their ability to transport goods through planned, paved roads, and other such structured environments is proving to be incredibly successful. However, when it comes to complex, unpredictable, and unstructured environments, these bots are ill equipped. These limitations have led the robotics industry to develop the quadruped robot. Their ability to transport materials across complex, unstructured environments makes legged robots the perfect, automated pack mules. They are able to transport payloads between buildings,…
