Dr. John X. Wang was mentioned by 3D PRINT Injection: “If you’re doing any international #manufacturing and #engineering, you’ll want to know @JohnJxwang with https://drjohnxwang.wordpress.com.”
If you’re doing any international #manufacturing and #engineering, you may also want to know Cellular Manufacturing and 3D Printing:
* Cellular manufacturing arranges factory floor labor into semi-autonomous and multi-skilled teams, or work cells, which manufacture complete products or complex components. Properly trained and implemented cells are more flexible and responsive than the traditional mass-production line, and can manage processes, defects, scheduling, equipment maintenance, and other manufacturing issues more efficiently.
* 3D printing is quickly becoming a very affordable option for producing physical objects. The term “3D printing” covers a number of closely related technologies, all of which produce a 3-dimensional physical object from a computer model by building it up in successive layers. The principle of 3D printing laminate manufactured add-in, the printing material in the form in the XY plane depicted by scanning cross-sectional shape of the 3D model, and then makes the Z-axis direction displacement discontinuity single slice thickness, forming three-dimensional physical.
The typical approach in manufacturing has been subtractive – to remove materials to make the final product useful, e.g., to cut or drill materials away, leaving only the desired substance. The traditional manufacturing is subtractive manufacturing areas, namely through the mold, milling and other machining techniques and tools to convert raw materials into products, processes, characterized by the use of reduced cutting, reducing materials to produce parts.
Compared with the traditional manufacturing, 3D printing does not require complex technology, does not require a huge machine, does not require a large number of manpower, no lengthy pipeline operations, directly through the computer 3D model data, any shape can be produced by the printer parts the manufacturing to the production of a wider range of people to extend. The desired components can be made of materials that can be sprayed as liquids (e.g., plastics or resins) or formed from melted powder (including metals and ceramics).The components are typically manufactured directly from a 3D CAD image.
The World is Flat.3D Printing enables us to model elliptic geometry, the geometry of navigating our stars. The simplest model for elliptic geometry is the surface of the earth with the lines of longitude on its surface. If you and a friend both move north you would be on parallel lines if the world is flat but since it is a ball you two will meet at the North Pole. For the challenge of globalization, cellular manufacturing is increasingly controlled by computer-aided design (CAD) tools, creating 3D printing – visualize our world which is flat yet spherical.
