Automation Alley is a World Economic Forum Advanced Manufacturing Hub (AMHUB) for North America and a nonprofit Industry 4.0 knowledge center with a global outlook and a regional focus. We facilitate public-private partnerships by connecting industry, education and government to fuel Michigan's economy.
On July 1, Sen. Elissa Slotkin toured the Project DIAMOnD Digital Transformation Center in Auburn Hills to see how Michigan manufacturers are using 3D printing to solve real-world challenges. During the tour, Slotkin saw Project DIAMOnD's industrial-grade 3D printers...
Let me be direct about a roadblock that I believe the additive manufacturing industry rarely admits publicly: today’s 3D printers are pretty good, but pretty good is not good enough – at least not if the goal is to achieve high volume, high-quality production. That...
For decades, industrial manufacturing has operated under a simple assumption: bigger, heavier, and more subtractive means better. But as global industries face unprecedented pressure to decarbonize, the massive carbon footprint embedded in traditional machinery and...
U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin visited Project DIAMOnD’s Digital Transformation Center to see how Michigan manufacturers are using industrial 3D printing and the Project DIAMOnD Marketplace to drive innovation, strengthen small businesses, and expand advanced manufacturing across the state.
The 3D printing industry has made tremendous progress – but needs to adopt a common framework to take the next step.
Verified life-cycle analysis shows that composite additive manufacturing can significantly reduce industrial carbon emissions by minimizing material waste, eliminating much of the transportation and logistics burden of traditional supply chains, and enabling localized, on-demand production.
