Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division (North Kingstown, R.I., U.S.) and Authentise (Philadelphia, Pa., U.S.), a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) provider specializing in additive manufacturing (AM), have partnered to deliver a solution that connects the end-to-end 3D printing value chain from design, manufacturing operations and quality assurance to make AM more predictable, repeatable and traceable.
New solutions delivered through this partnership will apply statistical process control (SPC) with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methods to mitigate waste and quality issues during the design phase and improve the repeatability of AM processes within a site or between global locations.
