Additive manufacturing is moving beyond prototypes, part repair and producing non-critical parts, and entering the direct production of critical parts and lot sizes. To deliver these jobs quicker, digital networks are integrating AM with product design software, CAD/CAM, ERP and automation to develop new approaches that can build innovative products faster than ever.

Inconel 740H and other new superalloys provide major improvements in mechanical properties and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, but they still need careful purging during welding in order to preserve these characteristics.
These best practices for welded moment connections and column splices in the field require an up-front investment of time and money, but considering how much you’re likely leaving on the table, it’s a small price to pay.
Digital tools are already here in the form of DROs and one-way communications to mobile devices, but that’s only the beginning. Get ready for some exciting breakthroughs in automation that promise higher productivity, increased safety, greater throughput and less scrap.
