How will No Code robotic programming fundamentally change manufacturing? Kel Guerin, PhD roboticist and CTO and Co-founder of READY Robotics, explores how No Code simplifies automation and enables more people on the factory floor to use and understand automation.
Nozzle diameter and layer height can both greatly affect the resolution, printing time, and appearance of 3D printed parts. They are also connected to each other in an important way.
CNC machining is a great option for many projects, but you need to be aware of what using the technology means for your design. In this video we explore CNC milling and lathing, features such as holes and threading, wall thickness, and how to test that your design is suitable for CNC machining.

3D printers promise endless applications. However, sometimes reality gets in the way of that promise. One example of where that can happen is when trying to print something that needs to hold water, only to watch it leak like a sieve. Read on to find out to avoid such a tragic waste of liquid.

Researchers at Texas A&M University are seeking to implement a new method of manufacturing 3D nanostructured surfaces consisting of multiple materials by using a high-throughput, high-precision technique.
Maintaining supply chain resilience in the face of increasing global uncertainty.
Manufacturers of pumps and assemblies are usually faced with the challenge of accurately measuring complex components with internal contours, such as flow channels inside impellers or pump housings with their complex geometries.
Cloud manufacturing enables new rapid prototype approaches under uncertain supply chain conditions.
Digital transformations can have significant upside for the businesses that undertake them: improved efficiency, increased output, reduced costs, and more stable operations to name a few.

During material supply shortages, consider these resin substitutes for ABS, PC, PP, and other commonly moulded thermoplastics.
Typical industries that use 3D printing are automotive and medical, but you probably don't expect to hear fashion and jewellery. However, these industries are increasingly turning to 3D printing due to its ability to produce fine details, iterate designs quickly and display quality finishes.
