The 3D printing industry stands for innovative spirit like hardly any other industry – and the past "Covid-19 years" have done nothing to change that. On the contrary: 2022 seems to be the year for 3D printing providers! New materials, the use of artificial intelligence and a recognizable democratization of printing processes: it is really difficult for us to filter out the top trends from the many innovations. As part of our innovation blog series, we have researched the market for you and summarized the most important news.

Digitally networked manufacturing plants make almost autonomous production possible. In the context of Industry 4.0 and increasingly comprehensive digitalisation, machines, systems, operators and products communicate with each other in real time. This enables unprecedented flexibility in production - and significantly reduces unproductive, expensive non-productive time. 

The rapid development of prototypes will continue to ensure the competitiveness of companies in 2022. Additive manufacturing in particular - and also 3D printing - will bring a lot of speed to the development of new products this year. New synthetic resins and optimised printing processes are further trends this year that we would like to present to you in our innovation blog.

Before the crisis is after the crisis: after the Covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine and new lockdowns in Shanghai are sending new shockwaves through the global supply chain. How can companies better position themselves for materials sourcing?

The machining of large and largest components will remain firmly in the hands of German SMEs in 2022. Even though the large parts processors had to accept significant losses in turnover in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, there are currently signs of a recovery on the market. The  "classic" areas of application for the components – mechanical engineering and automotive – are currently being supplemented by increased demand in the field of renewable energies. As part of our blog series, this time we will be looking at the current trends and important innovations in the processing of large parts.

“I really love the dynamic and daring approach in identifying opportunities”

For more than half a century, CNC controls have had a firm grip on the machining industry. Whether workshop-oriented programming directly at the machine or CAD/CAM applications: Modern manufacturing would be unthinkable without "computerised numerical control". Trends 2022 would also not be complete without an insight into current innovations with which the large and small control system manufacturers want to make production a little faster, more intuitive and, above all, more productive. In the context of our innovation blog, we have taken a closer look at the most important trends of the year.

Procurement is an exceptionally complex process, involving a lot of paperwork, discussions, and analyses of bids - to name but a few tasks. As a result, it is an extremely time-consuming practice that can result in possible mistakes being made along the way.
