Five ways manufacturers can fight back against cyber criminals
Today's factories are complex, data driven environments. Whether that data is used to manage a process or monitor the performance of an industrial robot or machine, protecting information, plans and schematics is crucial. The impact of cyber-attacks on manufacturing environments can be significant and multi-layered.
The case for mass finishing for mass AM parts and components
Post-processing is a hot topic in the area of additive manufacturing (AM), which is unsurprising as in many applications, the post-processing step(s) can account for upwards of 50% of the total unit cost for an AM part. So the drive is on to reduce the time and cost of the post-processing step in product development, while simultaneously keeping an eagle eye on the unswerving need for precision and repeatability in production.
