We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital Manufacturing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Prototyping/production system is 'entry-level' from
Stratasys, which we summarised at the time by saying "An additive fabrication system for prototyping and direct digital manufacturing is designed for users with demanding applications that require accuracy and repeatability, but not high
speed".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Estimating methods within defence and aerospace from
Galorath International: "Galorath's third user conference, held at Warwick Castle in the UK on 22nd May, discussed estimating methods within the defence and aerospace sectors".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Visiprise
- take a look at Visiprise PTC partner for manufacturing planning
which says: "Visiprise selected as a launch partner for PTC's Windchill MPMLink for manufacturing planning and execution".
Take a look also at the news release from Delmia, Delmia joins project for advanced lean processes,
as well as Students to benefit from Delmia 3D software from Delmia,
and Scanning conference includes reverse engineering from SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers).
