Taking a More Sustainable Route with On-demand MRO and Digital Manufacturing Sustainability

Taking a More Sustainable Route with On-demand MRO and Digital Manufacturing Sustainability

As industries around the world strive to find new, more sustainable ways of operating, one of the critical underlying ideas that must be addressed is how to keep products, equipment, and infrastructure in use. The “Delivering on MRO” webinar hosted by ZVerse, Inc. will zoom in on this topic, highlighting how on-demand maintenance and repair can help to extend the lifecycle of products.

Nippon Seiki acquires two M2 systems from GE Additive 3D Printer Hardware

Nippon Seiki, a die-casting mold maker, will start making molds using metal 3D printers. The company introduced two M2 metal 3D printers from GE Additive in July and did so specifically to leverage the new SKD61 steel equivalent material recently developed for 3D printing by Mitsubishi. This material expanded the possible areas of application for mold-making, which is Nippon Seiki’s core business. The Japanese company now intends to become a source of information on metal 3D printer technology and change the mold-making industry.

How Massivit 3D is Overcoming the Bottlenecks of Composite Tooling

Massivit 3D’s in-depth knowledge of large-scale additive manufacturing has evolved over the years. Many, for instance, will know of how its 3D printers are used to produce large-scale objects—including the DB Project full-scale concept car—for marketing and entertainment purposes. But its technology is also capable of much more. Its newest machine, the Massivit 10000, is built for tooling applications in the automotive, railway, marine, energy and other industries. More specifically, the Massivit 10000 seeks to reinvent how large-scale fiber-reinforced composite parts are fabricated.
