With the rapid advance of Smart Industry, the industrial world is doing things more efficiently, more flexibly, and in a safer and more eco-friendly manner. Today's smart tools - including additive manufacturing (3D printing), CNC machines and power tools - are more aware of their environment and new technologies including augmented reality and touchless interfaces make machines in factories and shop floors easier and safer for use.
3D printers
Thanks to their affordable pricing and ease-of-use enabled by a wide choice of CAD software, 3D printers are being increasingly used for both commercial and DIY projects to enable fast prototyping and small series production. 3D printers can be used
