Soft robot design methodology for ‘push-button’ manufacturing

Jamie Paik

‘Push-button’ or fully automated manufacturing would enable the production of robots with zero intervention from human hands. Realizing this utopia requires a fundamental shift from a sequential (design–materials–manufacturing) to a concurrent design metho ...

STEP-NC digital thread for additive manufacturing: data model, implementation and validation

Ian Anthony Stroud, Pascal Mognol

Substantial progress and development in additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been realised during the last decade but have hardly been implemented on AM systems due to old numerical solutions still used by the AM digital thread, for instance STL ( ...
