Before the pandemic, research suggested that adoption of AI (artificial intelligence) and ML (machine learning) in business was increasing at a rate of about 25% per year.
Try to use the standard parameters in your part design, and the same parameters should be as consistent as possible. Wonder why?
Metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding have their advantages and disadvantages, but how do you pick the process that's right for your next manufacturing or repair project?
With the rapid development of the automobile industry and its production capacity, traditional sheet metal processes can no longer meet the sector’s growing needs. Therefore, it is necessary to consider new and innovative technologies to keep up with the industry’s ever-evolving needs.

A high-tech company in the field of infrared detection technology research, appointed us for the production of 200 sets of optical probe components. Due to their complex structures and undercut details, injection molding or CNC machining were not feasible.
Are you aware of a component does not create added value, while is significant and indispensable for products? That is fasteners. For a product, a fastener only fixes the parts, and has barely no effect on the utilization.
Have you considered optimizing the part design to increase part quality, while cut down the manufacturing cost and time? There are design tips about ribs and undercut you could refer to.

As the University Technology Exposure Program 2022 enters its final month, we continue to receive submissions spanning different domains of technology. Submissions published in June included articles related to healthcare, electric vehicles, data analytics, smart cities, and smart manufacturing.
After decades of falling prices, robots are far more affordable than ever. Unfortunately, automation is still too expensive for most manufacturers and many applications.
The study is about the transformation of the manual assembly process of medical test kits by integrating the learning factory and digital twin. Lean manufacturing principles and lean thinking are introduced to revamp value-added activities; reduce waste and level-load human utilization.
