The #additivemanufacturing industry is remarkably fragmented. The top 5 companies have only 29% of the industry revenue. Stratasys CEO Yoav Zeif predicts at Additive Manufacturing Strategies today that by 2030, the top 4-5 players will have half the revenue. The question is whether this happens through M&A or through the largest players getting a greater share of the organic growth or some combination. Global manufacturers benefit from those lead vendor partners helping to scale their AM efforts even as there is still a tremendous amount of compelling startup innovation happening.

In the rapidly growing #haptics industry, it can be difficult to navigate the intricacies and complexities of the haptic product manufacturing landscape. Our latest article on Industry Today Media breaks down the key factors to consider when scaling up haptic projects for mass production. https://lnkd.in/ekFH2kBY

In our latest blog, we share a real-life example of a company overcoming manufacturing challenges. Learn how tapping into our network allowed a company to test a novel product on a smaller scale, saving substantial costs compared to full-scale implementation. #DisruptiveInnovation #CPGInnovation #InnovationStrategies

RESEARCH ALERT: Among other things over the holidays, I've read a fascinating (to me anyway 🤷♂️) research paper by the Taylor & Francis Group entitled "Hardware start-ups and manufacturing innovation." For anyone who doesn't fancy it, here are a few key takeaways. Hardware start-ups (those developing real, non-digital products): 💡 Are essential as they create products that offer wider societal benefits 💡 Require greater investment over a longer period than digital start-ups 💡 Face specific process challenges (e.g. safety certification) which can’t be done alongside other activities After four years of developing the Newlane 'packable' bike and scooter helmet, it is massively reassuring to hear that our challenges are experienced by other innovators in the hardware space. We're now into the final stretch and hope to have a market-ready product soon🤞 Watch this space.

Here is a combined New Product Development & Batch Production project for you! We hope you enjoy the satisfying slow-motion video: a platform removal of 50 Parts in 1 sweep! 👌 This small batch of custom designed parts are for use in the Pharmaceuticals industry. The key to this project was ensuring incredible accuracy of small features in the design to allow for precise fitting of our 3D-printed component to existing parts on site with our customer. We worked with our customer to develop the design & prototype in a number of days, allowing for rapid iterations from test-fitting feedback. It is also critical to ensure that every step of our process guarantees high quality, repeatable products when running volume production. Every step along the way requires our expertise, experience and know-how in: 🎨 Product Design (DFAM) 📏 Build Orientation 🪨 Material Selection 🧱 Support Structure Strategy ✨ Post Processing Another key requirement was the fast turnaround of a batch production of 200 units. ✅ Seamless transition into Production ✅ Digitally stored, ready for On-Demand production in future ✅ Lead time - 4 days for production & delivery ✅ Reduced carbon footprint - minimal material waste & shipping #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #digitalsupplychain #productdevelopment #supplychain #carbonfootprint #batchproduction #dfam #ondemand #manufacturing #startup #irishstartups #innovation #disruptivetechnology

💡 Technology Spotlight: The Double Gunn Diode Improvement in the structure of conventional Gunn diode by substituting some material regions for other materials with novel properties and operating conditions. Problem Addressed by Claimed Invention Gunn diodes exhibit bandwidth and frequency limitations related to the device length and doping concentration which precede the limitation imposed by the energy and intervalley relaxation time of the carriers. The present invention improves conventional Gunn diodes by enhancing bandwidth and ramp rates. Benefits o Larger bandwidth o Higher frequency o Higher ramp rate • Retains the advantages of conventional Gunn diodes Applications • Detection methods • Measurement • Communication System • Low noise application (FCMW) Inventors are: Samir El-Ghazaly, Alan Mantooth, and Latarence Butts https://lnkd.in/g_aXBSbt
