Towards an Intelligent & Autonomous Machine and Factory of the Future

Future machine-factory eco systems will need to deliver safe, reliable, and repeatable performance to cost effectively scale additive parts manufacturing. Both an evolutionary and revolutionary product-technology approach is required to meet the expected part demand economically through innovative product and technology developments that will work to temper system complexity with simplicity . Velo 3D, a US based additive machine manufacturing company is working assiduously to enable this future. Ontologically, the machine of the future will integrate with the factory simply, in a hierarchical and adaptive way, utilizing intelligent autonomous learning that utilizes sub-system intelligence, causing a simple system autonomous user experience.
