Article Summaries:

  • Automation is already a pillar of global manufacturing strategy, even as its practical limitations for continued expansion signal that manufacturers will require quite some time to figure out how to maximize automation in the realm of emerging production technologies. But the additive manufacturing (AM) industry has figured out at least one major use case for automation that users have incorporated into the workflow for years: nesting. Optimized nesting has been the cornerstone of the Belgian company AMIS’ entry into the AM market, with its AMIS Pro software enabling subscribers to automate th
