Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing methods that involve cutting or shaping material to create an object, 3D printing adds material gradually, allowing for highly complex and customized designs.
The 3D printing process builds a three-dimensional object from a computer-aided design model, usually by successively adding material layer by layer, which is why it is also called additive manufacturing,
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is an evolving process that builds 3D objects by adding material layer by layer based on a CAD file. Traditional manufacturing methods such as cutting, subtractive processes like milling, and forming involve removing or reshaping material. AM provides advantages like design freedom, ability to produce complex geometries, and reduced waste. While AM faces challenges like slow build rates and limited size, its economic impact is growing as it enables new business models and decentralized manufacturing.

Study of Manufacturing of Multi-Saddle ClampIRJET Journal
The document discusses the design and manufacturing of a multi-saddle clamp die. Previously, single cavity dies were used to manufacture individual saddle clamps through bending or blanking operations. However, this was an inefficient process. The proposed multi-saddle clamp die allows for multiple clamps to be manufactured simultaneously through bending and blanking operations in the same die, improving productivity. Key requirements for the die design include producing quality products efficiently while minimizing manufacturing costs and scrap material. The methodology involves identifying the problem, collecting information, and developing a solution to design a die that can manufacture multiple saddle clamps in a single cycle through different operations like surface grinding, drilling, tapping, and wire drawing.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

What’s the situation?
• Polymer extrusion is a high volume manufacturing technology that accounts for 30% of the 360
millions tonnes (2019) global plastic processing production
• that’s more than 100 millions tonnes in 2019 alone!
• Target is typically the production of large batches of extremely long extrudates
• Tooling involves high investments and relatively long lead times
• Low flexibility towards cost-effective
design changes, iterations, variations,
small batches

Digital Technologies for Extrusion 4.0
• Tooling by AM has the
potential to challenge the
status quo and to disrupt the
value chain in polymer
extrusion
• Simulation is used as effective
digital tool to accelerate
extrusion product
development

Results
• BEFORE extrusion
– Average dimensional accuracy AM die = ±15-25 µm
– Relative dimensional accuracy AM die = ± 0.5-1.0%
• AFTER extrusion
– Average deviation of die dimensions from nominal

polymer extrusion based on
photopolymer AM established
• Extrusion with AM produced soft
(photopolymer) dies succesfully
achieved
• Up to 1000 m extrudate
