It’s exhausting to imagine that we’ve virtually reached the top of 2022. It looks like a couple of weeks in the past, we had been broadcasting the store ground from Charlotte, NC, with the assistance of Ellison Applied sciences. The store ground space of 3DEXPERIENCE World has been a spotlight of attendees for a number of years now. It at all times begins with a debrief on the final day of 3DEXPERIENCE World as we begin planning for the subsequent 12 months primarily based on all of the suggestions we obtain and thrilling issues we be taught from you, the attendee. From there, we begin executing our plans and concepts for bettering them. This 12 months is not any exception. We began proper after the filming was finished to attempt to make our first time again in particular person further particular by specializing in traits we’re seeing and offering extra immersive manufacturing experiences for everybody.
So let’s chat a little bit about what we’re engaged on and hopefully add some pleasure to cease in and say whats up to the group constructing the store ground space for 2023. To start out, we’ll break the realm into sections and talk about some issues occurring in every part.
Let’s begin within the machining fabrications areas. Final 12 months we had nice success with our companions DN Options and Ellison Applied sciences. This 12 months we’re persevering with with two machines: a 5-axis mill and a multi-axis mill/flip. The five-axis mill can be producing customized belt buckles designed by SOLIDWORKS Champion and industrial designer Jason Pohl. The buckles can be 3D printed first utilizing a MarkForged 3D printer. The second operation can be finished within the DN mill to completely illustration the fusion of additive and subtractive processes. The DN mill/flip can be doing a little superior engraving on customized stainless espresso cups with a few surprises for attendees.
Together with DN, we now have a tremendous accomplice with Tormach; they’ve been with us because the first store ground. They are going to showcase a number of the newest capabilities of its machines. This 12 months we may have customized machining of a boot on the Tormach 1100, and the Tormach plasma will make a musical buckle/cellphone holder. Each are price stopping by and chatting with the group to see how every are made.
One other space we now have seen an enormous push in is automation and training. To showcase this, we now have a few areas price of testing. First, we may have a Kassow cobot working with DELMIA offline programming to display how offline programming may help enhance processes throughout an organization. Second, we now have areas devoted for some manufacturing-specific coaching periods. Join CNC 101 lessons with the Tormach xsTech routers to make a customized half you’ll be able to take with you. We have now additionally partnered with Doosan and Ellison Applied sciences to have a Cobot 101 space so you’ll be able to be taught the fundamentals of programming cobots.
With all that, we nonetheless have extra!
Together with all of the making, we even have software program options to assist drive processes and enhance communication between the entrance workplace and manufacturing. We may have training and showcases on ERP/MES, Lean processes, CAM, Robotic Programming, Additive Manufacturing, Nesting, and our latest Dassault options, equivalent to Diota for inspection and AR directions.
We even have a pair extra issues up our sleeves however aren’t allowed to share. You’ll have to attend to see the remaining! We stay up for seeing you all in particular person once more and may’t wait to realize higher perception into your present traits and challenges.
In case you haven’t registered but, the time is now! Click on right here and enroll right this moment and we’ll see you in Nashville in February!
