Digital and Smart Technologies in Metal Manufacturing
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Manufacturing (CAM): Designs parts and generates machine instructions for CNC, 3D printing, or laser cutting.
AI and IoT: Optimizes production through real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automated quoting (e.g., Shenzhen Alu Rapid’s AI-powered platform).
Digital Twins: Simulates metal parts or processes to test performance virtually.
Automation and Robotics: Enhances efficiency in welding, assembly, or material handling.
