Additive Manufacturing Additive manufacturing is a specific 3D printing process where parts are built layer by layer by depositing material according to digital 3D design data. For example, instead of milling a workpiece from a solid block, additive manufacturing builds the part up layer by layer from raw material supplied as a fine powder. This technique is known as Powder Bed…
Globalization and the fluctuations in customer demand in various industries have made manufacturing companies to rethink their current manufacturing process. The components are becoming very complex to manufacture since they have to accommodate the growing need of customers’ expectation. How can these complex parts be produced? How can manufacturing companies avoid costly errors? How can companies ensure…

An important success factor for farm equipment manufacturing companies is their ability to define and manufacture quality products tailored to customer preferences and deliver them anywhere in the world at record speed. A farm equipment assembly can be very complex because it includes mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic parts, sheet metal, cabling and automation mechanisms. Some 3D…
Typically, in a manufacturing organization, after the design stage and before manufacturing, there is a stage involving planning/PPC and manufacturing engineering. DELMIA (Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application) helps organizations to do feasibility study and process validations during detailed process planning immediately after the design stage. Below are three DELMIA digital manufacturing solutions which can be used…
While there are multiple Work Instructions formats, for the past few years, there is a debate on the suitability and applicability of the appropriate format. This might be the time to put that debate to rest. There are many studies which show that something which is graphic and in pictorial form is more likely to be understood…
