Article Summaries:

  • Automation Alley’s Project DIAMOnD has opened its Digital Transformation Center (DTC) to companies outside its membership network, offering industrial‑grade 3D printing services on a fee‑based model. The DTC provides access to high‑end polymer and metal additive manufacturing technologies-such as powder‑bed fusion, large‑format FFF/MEX, and directed energy deposition-without requiring firms to purchase costly equipment. Businesses submit designs through a secure portal, receive transparent quotes, and work with experts to select materials and processes. The expansion aims to lower financial and technical barriers for small and mid‑size enterprises, enabling them to prototype, produce short runs, and scale production using additive manufacturing.
