…Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Brown University have developed new approaches that improve the accuracy of a material testing technique by using machine learning. Nano-indentation—the process of poking a sample of a material with a sharp needle-like tip to see how the material responds by deforming—is important in many manufacturing applications, but its poor accuracy in obtaining certain key mechanical properties of a material, has prevented it from being used widely in industry. Using the standard nano-indentation process and feeding its experimentally measured data to a neural network machine learning system, the scientists developed…

…multi-material production-grade output. The start-up company, spun out from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in 2017, is based on research led by Professor Wojciech Matusik and intellectual property licensed from MIT. Inkbit saw reason to create a new platform for 3D printing because while they believed there was substantial opportunity for ink jet AM capabilities, the technology was only being used for prototyping, not production applications since it wasn’t able to easily take advantage of engineering-grade materials like silicone and epoxy. “Today, material used for ink jet printers are not usable in production form—they are only useful…

…an “automation-readiness roadmap” for your own company. Participants included MIT’s Jeffrey Lipton, Dematic’s Crystal A. Parrott, Karen Leavitt of Locus, and Matt Wicks of Honeywell Intelligrated. During the discussions, Leavitt focused on the selection process and planning that should go into any investment in automation or robotics. “Robots are cool, but cool doesn’t pay the bill,” he pointed out. “The question is, will this investment really drive both the top and bottom lines? That’s what companies need to answer.” Pick a solution that’s right for your business, 6 River Systems’ Fergal Glynn added, and try to avoid pilot purgatory (i.e.,…

Podcast: How Final Mile Logistics & White Glove Services are Impacting Shipping To gain a competitive advantage in last-mile logistics, shippers need to understand the top seven trends in last mile logistics. 1. Last Mile Logistics Gets Faster Fulfillment Fulfillment timetables are changing. Consumers want faster fulfillment, and shippers need to move more product at a faster pace. Shipments that previously required one hour to process are now being forced into three-minute intervals, if not faster times. Consequently, last mile logistics is finally in a position to…
