3D Printing

At RoboBusiness 2017, Tend.ai executives discussed how their cloud monitoring software and services can help businesses remotely monitor and troubleshoot their robots.

German robots are evolving to be safer, address applications beyond manufacturing, and make reshoring easier. But what precedents are they setting for other countries' efforts?

EduExo is a 3D-printable, Arduino-powered kit for students, hobbyists and educators that teaches how to build exoskeletons.

Despite some uncertainty around U.S. government policy and the failure of drone maker Lily Robotics, robotics funding continued to grow in the first quarter of 2017, especially around self-driving cars and AI.

The biggest robotics acquisitions and funding of the past year added several deals to the billion-dollar-and-up club. Don't mistake that for a mature robotics industry, though.

3D printed cars are only the tip of the 3D printing iceberg. Additive manufacturing is getting faster, more flexible for commercial applications, and more funding as a result.

Boston startups focusing on robotics, drones, self-driving cars, and AI can rent part of MassRobotics' new Shared Robotics Innovation Space, which provides infrastructure and tech and business support.

General Electric has continued its investments to become a "digital industrial company," as it bids on Arcam and SLM Solutions for their 3D metals printing capabilities.

Desktop Metal, which has raised $52 million so far, is working on making 3D metal printing more accessible. What industries can benefit?

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) and PolyJet are two of the most advanced and effective additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technologies available. They span the range from budget-friendly, desktop modeling devices to large-format, factory-floor equipment that draw from the capital...
