The robotics industry is advancing rapidly, driving the need for flexible manufacturing solutions that support innovation, testing, and early-stage production.
What is 3D printing? This article goes over the basics of 3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, covering its engineering principles and applications.
EPFL researchers have developed a way to use holograms to guide laser light for ultra-efficient, fast, and precise volumetric 3D printing. The innovation enables cell-compatible, high-resolution 3D printing at scales suitable for biomedical applications.
Princeton researchers have combined brain cells and advanced electronics into a 3D device that can be programmed to recognize patterns using computational techniques.

Industrial applications use solenoid valves to control the flow of gases or fluids such as air, oil or water. Solenoids can change a valve from open to closed using an electromagnetic coil, allowing for precision flow control.
Automatic tool changing is simply the fastest way to manipulate multiple tool options on a single production machine. As technology advances at an ever-faster rate, production capacity grows, and human beings are not always able to keep up.
The two most likely causes for a pneumatic cylinder to stick or jam are contamination and misalignment. If the piston gets stuck in the middle of its stroke and doesn't complete the full extension or retraction, it can lead to major problems.
Machine vision is an advanced technology that allows a computer to collect, analyse and interpret visual data. This data can be acquired from cameras, digital images or videos and is used in industrial automation to enhance decision-making.
If you decide to add or amend a program for your PLC, you'll need to be sure that it will perform its function without fault and integrate seamlessly into your system.
The most common types of pneumatic actuation for industrial applications are single- or double-acting pneumatic cylinders. If you compare the way they work, the main design difference is the number of air inlet ports.
Manufacturing has undergone extraordinary change over the past few centuries. What began as manual labour in small workshops has transformed into a globally integrated, highly automated ecosystem powered by digital technology and real-time data.
Learn how edge AI in wireless vibration sensors improves machine health monitoring, extends battery life, and enables smarter predictive maintenance in factories.
Discover how Industry 4.0, 5.0, and AI are transforming control panels into intelligent, secure, and scalable systems for modern industrial automation.
How does 3D printing work? This guide covers everything from desktop printers to industrial systems, explaining the digital workflow, materials, and applications that engineers need to understand.
