This Report shows how tools like artificial intelligence, digital twins, and on-demand manufacturing are no longer emerging concepts, but are already delivering measurable impact across the product lifecycle.
One of the main reasons why manufacturers and designers prefer injection moulding over other processes is its ability to produce a smooth surface finish. Injection moulding is economical when producing large batches, but how about small batches and prototypes? The evident solution is 3D printing.
Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries.
Thermoplastic polyurethane is one of the best flexible 3D printing materials, but TPU print settings differ greatly from rigid material settings and can be difficult to configure.
