Motors and motion control components continue to shrink. The trend of miniaturization allows manufacturers to install motors and motion control into smaller and smaller form factors. Miniaturization helps in reducing energy consumption as well as weight, making it attractive to sectors such as aerospace, defense, medical, and science. This webinar will explore how small, powerful electric motors with a diameter of only a few millimeters have been developed through pioneering innovations and have become useful in many areas of science.

In the last few years, 3D printing with metals has exploded. More recently several new metal additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have emerged, including binder jetting, material extrusion, material jetting, vat photopolymerization, and cold spray. Attend this webinar and learn the processes and their capabilities and more.

When evaluating in-house 3D printing technology it’s important to evaluate four considerations: setting up a print file, print process mechanism, post-processing, and maintenance and scalability. In this webinar, you’ll gain the foundation you need to start speaking the language of 3D printing. Learn how parts created from various printing technologies differ across functionality and appearance, and how these differences impact product development and production workflows for engineers and manufacturers.

As the Internet of Things moves into the home, office and factory, engineers need a broader array of sensor-based solutions. This webinar will look at those solutions, ranging from simple encoders and proximity sensors to temperature and pressure sensors, as well as cameras, accelerometers, gyroscopes and more. The webinar will also examine a wide range of applications, including medical devices, consumer products, and factory floor machinery.

The US military is expected to spend more than a billion dollars in the next five years on robotic research and deployment. Commercially, the aerospace industry is scrambling to fill billions of dollars of backlog. One of the obvious solutions for both: intelligent, connected, traditional, collaborative and autonomous robotics. Over the coming years we are likely to see significant advances in robot capabilities due to the investments in robotics from the military and the aerospace industry. This webinar will delve into some of the potential uses, applications, technologies, and innovations...

Protolabs has partnered with Carbon 3D by officially adding Carbon 3D’s Digital Light Synthesis™ technology to its production-grade 3D printing portfolio in the Americas. This webinar will explore the technology, materials, and mechanical properties of Carbon DLS technology. We will identify when to choose Carbon DLS technology for your parts, and how it will impact your production. Bringing our Stereolithography, SLS, and Injection Molding expertise to the conversation, we will give an overview of how Carbon DLS can be best leveraged for your production parts.

There is a lot of hype around 3D printing, digital manufacturing, generative design SW, automation and other technology advances. There are also inevitable world megatrends. See how these megatrends are tied to the digital design & manufacture, and how the whole industrial eco-system may evolve over time. Whether you are on the design side or the manufacturing side, an evolution of the skills and knowledge necessary for remaining relevent in this future eco-system will be important.
