Mix tiny bits of garnet or other abrasive with water and force the resulting slurry through a 0.5 mm or smaller nozzle at 60,000 psi, and it will quite literally

Some optical metrology systems use full spectrum, "white light" to scan and thereby measure workpieces, a deeply scientific (and accurate) technology known as White Light Interferometry

Lasers can do more than cut, weld, and fuse metal and plastic. They are also used to measure the parts that result from these different manufacturing processes or to scan them for

Instead of IIoT sensors sending all of their data to the cloud for storage and analysis, processing it at the device or a local server is both faster and less

When the CAD system can share information with the shop's CAM software (or its MES, MOM, PLM, etc.) it's called interoperability, a crucial component of the digital thread.

MOM takes MES one step further by pulling in the quality and maintenance departments, providing a comprehensive, real-time view of manufacturing operations. It's like ERP but without the front

In 1983, 3D Systems founder Charles Hull invented a process he dubbed stereolithography (SLA), which uses a UV laser to successively draw thin layers of a CAD model onto a

In a Smart Factory, the machine tools, equipment, robots, and software systems are interconnected, sharing data with one another and their human masters.

This is the generic term for FDM, first coined to avoid trademark infringements.

PLM is the keeper of every stage in a product's lifetime, from the napkin sketch to the final design, the manufacturing process and bill of material, its quality requirements, where and how
