We are happy to welcome our visitors to Advanced Manufacturing Madrid. We are presenting a solution in which a cobot grabs a bottle opener, presents it under the laser and marks it with a custom content. After the marking, the cobot puts the opener back in a tray or the hand of the customer. This is an integration done with our partner Comfica, with whom we are collaborating in the installation of our lasers in automatized lines.

It was a somewhat unusual experience at the Advanced Prototyping Solutions meeting and conference in Lyon this week! Every customer visiting us was asking about series manufacturing of end parts and not about prototypes. The exception was asking about tools made with our AM technologies. It was a pleasure to see Jacky and Nikolas in action, consulting customers about their best options for success with Additive Manufacturing. In the video below, you'll see the testimony from Thomas Lecrest, who regularly uses our services for MERIO, a French designer and manufacturer of high-performance, lightweight, and multi-sensor Gimbals for aerospace applications. This is just another meaningful use of a limited series in AM, benefitting from the technology's functionality, lightweight capabilities, and economics. No wonder our Manufacturing segment is constantly scoring above 65% in NPS (Net Promotor Score) quarter after quarter.

In the dynamic world of machining, it's partnerships like ours with Schunk USA that fuel breakthroughs and push boundaries. Today, we're excited to share a video where we dive into how the revolutionary iTENDO Tool Holder is transforming our operations at Fullerton. The iTENDO isn't just a tool holder - it's a game-changer in precision and efficiency, thanks to SCHUNK's top-tier expertise. With its unique capability to deliver instant wireless feedback from the cutting environment, we've seen remarkable enhancements in our tool performance, especially in managing harmonic resonance on the fly. 👀 Watch the video now to see how this partnership is not just improving our tools but reshaping the future of machining.

How to improve the fatigue life of as-printed martensitic steel produced by LPBF beyond the state-of-the-art ?
