通过3D打印，Optisys的工程团队将一个包含100个零部件的天线组件整合成一个一体化的部件，并通过增材制造的方法来制造。由于将天线组件视为一个集成结构，其中所有零部件都整合成一体，该团队成功地将投产准备阶段从11个月缩短到2个月，重量也减少了95%以上，生产成本降低了最多25%。详情请见本期《用金属增材制造实现最佳设计》。
大数据——世界各地的公司都在如火如荼地开展它。在如今这个时代，只是专注于制造零件已经远远不够，制造商必须将工业物联网有效利用起来，才能保持竞争力。现在工业物联网让工厂能预测即将发生的机器或工具故障、优化流程、提高零件质量和正常运行时间，并跟踪设备和员工的效率。请见《大数据：正在进行时》一文。
形状记忆合金（SMA）是一种在受到温度等因素的刺激下会改变原来形状的金属。在航空航天领域，形状记忆合金可以用于驱动装置，例如机翼副翼或是用来展开火星探测器的太阳能电池板，其优点包括重量轻、静音操作和结构紧凑。形状记忆合金为未来变形机翼或自适应机翼的概念提供了一种解决方案，也将为制造更好、更高效的飞机贡献自己的力量。详情请见本期《NASA对形状记忆合金的研究进展》。
