…next step for this disruptive technology? Filemon Schoffer is co-founder and CCO of 3DHubs. In the early 1990s, 3D printing was touted to have a profound effect on the way we live our lives. 3D printers in every house would print everything from school lunches to hoverboards. Although the majority of these Jetson-esque predictions have (so far) failed to materialize,…

…robots have been confined to manufacturing. Warehousing and distribution was just too chaotic for the technology. There were too many variations to accommodate, and the equipment was too slow and not economically viable for warehouses and DCs. But now, we’ve hit a confluence of advanced technology and market demand spurred by labor challenges. At the show, you saw mobile robots…

In particular, SLA additive manufacturing, which uses photopolymerizable resin and a light source to cure the cross-sectional layers of geometry making up the part, can be especially slow since performance is limited by the need to initiate time-consuming separation or recoating steps between the layers of the output. Print speeds in most available SLA systems range from only a…
