…of common CAD files (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, PTC Creo, Siemens NX, Inventor) and the latest 3MF file format, an improvement over traditional STL, OBJ and VRML files. Stratasys is also adding support for 3MF color workflow with KeyShot 3D rendering software from Luxion Inc., a capability now in beta and planned for late 2020. Built as a smaller but equally capable complement to the Stratasys J8 series for enterprise shops, the J55 supports the full design process with same-day send-to-print and minimal post-processing. It provides the same resolution and detail as J8-series 3D printers, with models matching the shape, material,…

…from ABB and control and transmission systems designed by Siemens, Omron, Schneider Electric, Philips, SEW, and Mitsubishi. A peek under the RoboTaxi hood AutoX has released a new video of its RoboTaxi factory while it is in operation (see below). It provides a view of its production line specifically designed to assemble its Gen5 autonomous driving system and RoboTaxis. The video also offers viewers a peek at the AutoX Gen5 system for the first time, giving them a close look at the wiring and assembly of the two main sensor towers and blind-spot sensor suites. Hidden in the trunk of…

…engineering software providers are also contributing resources. For example, Siemens has made its Additive Manufacturing (AM) Network (along with its 3D printers) available to the global medical community to speed design and production of medical components. The AM Network connects users, designers and 3D-print service providers to enable faster production of spare parts for machines like ventilators. Siemens’ designers and engineers are a part of the AM Network, and can answer design requests and help convert designs into printable files. Afterwards, these components can be printed via medically certified 3D printers of partner companies that are also part of the…

…Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), General Electric Research, Siemens Technology, and Ready Robotics. ARM said the companies have signed conflict-of-interest agreements to protect the survey takers’ information. The working group’s feedback “has been monumental” in helping the institute understand how the technology it is testing within its own walls is being used in market, Skocik said. He said a lot of the projects ARM works on are systems that are between Level 4 through 7 on the technology readiness level (TRL) scale. The working group is serving as a reality check in a way. “The feedback we are getting…

…original CAD data on the right. Image courtesy of Siemens. “What we see is that in order to industrialize and use the (additive manufacturing) technology in higher volume production scenarios, we need to do a few things to get it right,” Ravi Shankar, director of global simulation product marketing for Siemens PLM Software, tells DE. “One critical area is to do what we call first-time-right print. Typically, companies attempt to print a part multiple times at a high cost before they actually achieve an acceptable result. That is delaying the transition of what is a very exciting technology into real…

…in digital twins and simulation software include PTC, SAP, Siemens, and ANSYS. The above technologies have already started to converge, according to ABI, and robotics provide a physical representation of this convergence. Robotics use AI and computer vision and connect to IIoT platforms where they have digital twins. This connectivity and AI will increase in importance as more cobots join the assembly line and work alongside humans. The robotics vendors that can integrate the most deeply with other transformative technologies have the biggest opportunity. Such vendors include the likes of ABB, KUKA, FANUC, Universal Robots, Rethink Robotics and Yaskawa. “The…

…Stratasys’ investment in Desktop Metal, collaboration with companies like Siemens, and work with its own global manufacturing network, which companies like UPS use to automatically invoke AM rather than traditional manufacturing processes based on order volume requests,” explains Ryan Martin, principal analyst at ABI Research. Desktop Metal was a surprise frontrunner among companies to more recently enter the AM arena, edging out incumbents like GE Additive and EOS on the powder-bed side and dusting ExOne and HP in performance on binder jetting. “Desktop Metal was the technology category leader but could be challenged in the long run if GE Additive…

…of Vision Systems (VCVS) for Industrial Robotic Inspection Applications Siemens Corp. Principal Investigator: Siemens Corp. Project Team: The Boeing Company and Premier Automation Project Description:The installation or modification of robotic image acquisition systems for production line inspections can be tedious manual processes that require full-time human expertise from different domains, such as lighting, cameras, robotics, automation, AI, and the production process. This project seeks to leverage digital twins to reduce the amount of effort, time and training data required to automate visual inspections, enabling wider implementation of inspection systems for industrial applications. The outputs of this project seek to reduce…

…metal printing. The new Design 4AM project leverages the Siemens Digital Innovation Platform and input from Sonaca for metal printing for space applications. Printer manufacturer VELO3D and auto company PWR have partnered on a printed aluminum heat exchanger for the motorsports market. Optomec reported a 43% revenue increase in the second quarter over last year, in part because of strong demand for its metal printing products. And a number of companies are touting new technological innovations that will make metal printing faster, less expensive and more “production ready” for end users. Exactly how this will play out over the next…

…Motors launched an autonomous forklift and has partnered with Siemens and Honeywell. The company also recently released analytics software to provide greater visibility into materials handling processes. Last month, OTTO Motors said Guidance Automation Ltd. has become the first reseller of its AMRs in the U.K. “Often, automation is seen as a complex disruption which will completely overhaul existing processes—particularly for SMEs [small and midsize enterprises],” said Paul Rivers, managing director of Guidance Automation. “But logistics businesses do not need to completely understand or have the skills and knowledge to achieve automation success.” “Instead, we will be doing this for…
