In our previous article we covered considerations on the overall approach for designing for the process depending on the flexibility the designer has with the part. In this article, we’re honing in specifically on designing for BJP considerations by highlighting some of the critical process steps which form design constraints. Part Two of a four-part series.

Read MoreA year ago, Wabtec Corp. made the first steel key to Neighborhood 91. Now it is taking up residence. Wabtec has reached an agreement to lease more than 11,000 square feet of space in Neighborhood 91, the hub for additive manufacturing being built at Pittsburgh International Airport.
Read MoreTBGA’s ADDvisor Services Leader Laura Ely joins the 3Degrees Discussion show to talk about her journey in the Additive Manufacturing industry and we focus on how to build diverse and highly functional teams within the space.
Read MoreThe Pittsburgh region is becoming a leading center in additive manufacturing underpinned with the creation of Neighborhood 91 -- the first development in the world to both condense and connect all components of the additive manufacturing and 3D Printing supply chain into one powerful production ecosystem. Today, John Barnes, Founder and Managing Director of the Barnes Global Advisors, will join us to detail how a cluster concept like Neighborhood 91 can act as a catalyst for additive manufacturing, industrialization and innovation with the creation of a cost-efficient ecosystem.
Read MoreAs hurricanes, wildfires, and other climate-related disasters make headlines around the planet following the hottest decade on record, public concern about global warming is rising. With the UN warning that we have until only 2030 to avert a climate catastrophe, consumers increasingly vote with their wallets when it comes to environmental concerns.

While a bit more shut in than normal this spring, I enjoyed a number of books that have been waiting for me in the nightstand for some time. It gave me some time to consider how creative you have to be to coordinate real world problems and absurd scientific solutions as well as allowed me to find a nice way to refresh some manufacturing fundaments and perhaps learn some new ideas that I can apply with our clients. It’s also got me thinking about Manufacturing and what that means.

As highlighted by being the theme of America Makes’ recent TRX, the topics of Certification and Qualification will feature prominently in the future of Additive Manufacturing (AM). This is because AM is being developed in a wide range of industries to produce products with superior performance (weight, efficiency, cost, etc.), with the same reliability that conventional manufacturing has delivered for their customers.
