The Decision-Makers’ Guide to Additive Manufacturing: Explore the essentials of today’s AM environment and improve your results
By Adam Kimmel Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, translates computer-aided design (CAD) data directly into a manufactured part, eliminating the drawing step and avoiding manufacturing tolerance mismatches. With a 2018 market size of approximately $8 billion, the technology is well-suited to meet the increasing market pressure to decrease sample lead times. Ideally, AM also…
How does heterogeneous integration impact sensors?
For those not familiar with the term, heterogeneous integration (HI) occurs when diverse components are assembled into System-in-Package (SiP) architectures. Late in 2019, SEMI, the global industry association representing the electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, announced the 2019 release of the Heterogeneous Integration Roadmap (HIR). Prominent examples of the roadmap are wireless and mixed […]
Choosing the Right 3D Printing Process for Your Company
Make the right call when it comes to AM methods and materials. By Tom Klemens If your company has not already made the leap into additive manufacturing (AM) to solve production challenges, market predictions indicate you soon might. However, although prices have dropped as the technology has matured, any investment in 3D printing is still…
ASME extends popular design standard to additive manufacturing
In response to the growing use of additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing in global industries, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has developed a new geometric dimensioning and tolerancing standard that applies to parts and assemblies designed in AM environments. Titled Y14.46- 2017 Product Definition for Additive Manufacturing, the new standard is an […]
