For Carl Zeiss Optical Components, a subsidiary of Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik, precision matters – sometimes down to the hundredth of a millimeter. The company manufactures microscopes, multi-sensoric machines, and optical sensors for industrial measurement and quality assurance purposes
Generative design is getting a lot of attention in the world of engineering, but what is it exactly? Here we explain how generative design can add value to your engineering process and why you should probably avoid the popular "black box" approaches.
In a two-part series of Insight videos we look closely at Industry 4.0 starting with a brief history lesson about the previous industrial revolutions.
What is 3D printing? This article goes over the basics of 3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, covering its engineering principles and applications.

From Functional Prototypes to Complex, Low-Volume Parts.
Nylon parts are used widely, but when standard nylon is not tough enough, glass filled nylon is a good candidate. This polyamide engineering plastic offers higher strength, stiffness and heat resistance by adding powdered glass to nylon resin or compounding nylon with glass fibres.
MJF 3D printing is a polymer powder-bed fusion process engineered for high throughput and mechanical consistency. Unlike legacy methods, it delivers functional, end-use parts with near-isotropic properties, making it a highly viable alternative to injection molding for low-to-mid volume production.
When you are manufacturing components for mining, power stations, and heavy industry, getting the dimensions right is only part of the job. The bigger question is whether a new component will actually fit where it needs to go.

A material’s strength refers to the maximum stress it can be put under before its failure. Its stiffness refers to how much it will deform when pulled or bent. Materials with high stiffness often also have high strength.

The customer needed to automate the process of picking heavy metal spherical objects from a container. These metal balls are semi-finished products for ball bearings. The task is currently performed manually. Check how the Bin Picking Studio solved this problem
Fast Radius had an internal design challenge to create a shoe that could be printed as one part using an elastomeric material on HP's Multi-Jet Fusion technology. They designed workflows within nTop Platform as a way to explore the industrial design of the shoe.

Automation in the postal service will play an important role in the upcoming years. Reaching challenging cycle times and pick rates is something where we continuously strive to push the boundaries further. The solution has an amazing 1.8 second cycle time allowing it to pick up to 2,000 objects/hour
In the recent nTopology 2.24 update, we introduced the topology optimization overhang constraint for Additive Manufacturing.
