Mitsubishi's Patrick Varley on how robots can ease labor shortages
In our latest Technology Tuesdays podcast, Design World’s Michelle Froese speaks with Mitsubishi Electric Automation’s product marketing manager for mechatronics and robotics, Patrick Varley.
In this discussion, we delve into the topic of robotic automation and software provider solutions — and, specifically, how this combination can help ease labor shortages. Patrick explains the significance of consumer personalization and how advanced technology from leading innovators can address the contemporary issues facing today’s manufacturers. -
Tips on working with copper in additive manufacturing
Copper is viewed as a material that will accelerate future aerospace production. For example, the privately funded company Ursa Major delivered a copper-based 3D-printed rocket engine combustion chamber from its additive manufacturing lab in Youngstown, Ohio. A challenge, however, is that the existing supply chain for high temperature metal alloy components is limited. However, development continues.

Sorbothane has been developing materials and components that isolate vibration, attenuate shock, and damp unwanted noise for 40 years. In fact, the company is celebrating four decades in business this year!
In honor of Sorbothane’s anniversary, we discuss the unique history of the company, including how the material was developed for insoles to support runners and then became essential for industrial industries to protect vital cargo and equipment. We also cover Sorbothane material’s properties, the company’s new standard products (launching this fall), and how its online Design Guide Calculators can support your application.
Customer Reviews
Great information on engineering topics
I like this format for learning about the latest technologies in design engineering. The interviewers tend to invite guests who are actually involved in real-world applications ... and they put the components and tools into context. That’s helpful for those of us migrating to new systems or upgrading machine builds with IoT functionalities etc.
Interviewer ould ask better questions
Just listened to the OtoSet episode. I’m disappointed bc the host didn’t ask the inventor questions that I could use as tips to develop my own inventions. I would’ve liked to know the skill sets they needed to develop their invention, what were their technical shortcomings after college that they had to learn to develop their invention. What programs they used, what was the headrest part(engineering wise), what knowledge/area of expertise that they possessed helped them the most to develop inventions.
PS: I don’t mind advertising. But come on, the entire episode was about how great ProtoLabs is.
