Industrial equipment and machinery manufacturers are navigating two different realities. They are rapidly adopting digital connectivity with features like sensors and actuators that enable seamless data exchange with other machines and computer networks. At the same time, many of these companies need to maintain and support a vast inventory of legacy equipment and machinery with long life cycles—some of which may have been in use for decades. Whether it’s farm machinery OEMs, industrial truck and tractor manufacturers, or producers of oil field machinery and other industrial equipment, businesses can embrace the digital age without leaving behind their existing equipment by leveraging digital manufacturing solutions.
Create a reliable manufacturing backup within your supply chain to rely on during line-down events or unexpected disruptions.
Order custom production parts on-demand for MRO needs, ensuring equipment stays operational without interruption.
Enhance supply chain flexibility by ordering fast-turn industrial components as needed.
Select from over 40 metal alloys and a wide range of industrial-grade plastics and elastomers, including silicone rubber and TPU, ideal for durable seals, gaskets, and other internal components.
Optimize part assembly and lower production costs with robust and efficient jigs and fixtures.
Engine braking is essential to modern trucking. When the accelerator isn’t in use, engine brakes harness the engine’s power to slow down trucks, working alongside traditional physical brakes. However, braking systems aren’t one-size-fits-all, as space constraints vary between different truck models. To tackle this, Jacobs Vehicle Systems, based in Connecticut, partnered with AIXI to create multiple prototypes with different form factors and successfully move them into the production phase.
Known for its strength, machinability, and affordability, steel is widely used in various industries. Stainless steel, in particular, is preferred in oil and gas fields for its excellent corrosion resistance. For more demanding applications, superalloys like 3D-printed Inconel offer an alternative solution.
While weight may be less of a concern for industrial equipment and machinery, aluminum is often the metal of choice due to its superior machinability and cost-effective manufacturing process.
Liquid silicone rubber and other elastomers are commonly used for applications that demand fuel-resistant components. High-performance thermoplastics like PEEK and PEI (Ultem) can also serve as metal substitutes in certain applications.
As businesses upgrade existing equipment with computer electronics to meet connectivity needs, a wide variety of cost-effective and versatile thermoplastics can be utilized.
