The first issue of TCT Europe for 2019 is here and packed with the latest design-to-manufacturing news and case studies from the jewellery, design software and post-processing sectors.
On the cover, Assistant Editor, Sam Davies visits EOS's headquarters where he spoke to founder Dr. Hans J. Langer about the company's pioneering journey to the digital factory of the future.
For our jewellery feature, Deputy Group Editor, Laura Griffiths reports on a UK-based team bringing digital jewellery-making skills to disadvantaged women in India, and Head of Content, Daniel O'Connor examines the 3D printing of the famous Poppy Pin.
In software, Tao Du, a PHD student in the Computational Fabrication Group of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory discusses a technique that breaks down complex 3D CAD models for custom 3D printing, while we also take a look at how Ford is automating the design of jigs and fixtures on its production line. In post-processing, Laura talks to DLyte about its TCT Award-winning finishing process for metal AM parts, and Sam gets an update from AMT as it prepares for a new product launch.
We also reflect on the six "leaders of the new school" who graced the front cover of TCT back in 2013 and ask, what happened next?
Plus a review of the biggest launches from Formnext 2018, a look at TCT's growing events portfolio in Asia, and special guest columns on UK manufacturing and optimising the AM supply chain.
