Our CEO, Greg Roche, shared his insightful perspectives on the future of robotic surgery in a recent article. "The primary driver of growth in the robotic surgery field is a broadening market stratification, which enables expanded access to surgical robotics by addressing traditional barriers such as cost, complexity, workflow disruption, and space constraints in operating rooms. One significant shift is the increasing demand for robotic surgery beyond traditional hospital settings and into Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and outpatient environments (HOPDs), especially for high-volume, lower-acuity procedures. #Dexter’s mobile and small-form-factor design makes it especially suited to these settings, where operating rooms are often smaller or space-constrained." 📑 Discover more insights and read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dwwN6BUy #Distalmotion #EmpoweringRoboticSurgery #Excellence #Simplicity #Accessibility #ASC #HOPD #roboticsurgery #roboticinnovation

Harold Sears (AMUG 🦕), head of the 3D Printing Advisory Council for Auto Additive, shared information about 3D printing during the CIECA CONNEX Conference today in Detroit, MI. Sears explained that a 3D Auto Repair task force was formed to investigate the opportunities in 3D printing. The task force found there is enormous potential in the areas of automotive supply, collision repair parts and repairs; however, there is a lack of understanding by business and the industry on 3D printing technology and materials. As a result, Auto Additive was formed. #collision #collisionindustry #3Dprinting #additivemanufacturing

Well done on this article, John Barnes and Timothy W. Simpson. Although clearly nobody is at a ~$30mm annual revenue per SLM NXG XII 600, the comparative unit economics are spot on. AM is finally gaining that most basic of industrial force multipliers--economies of scale. My only criticism would be with respect to the statement that, "the materials and services are where the majority of revenue is earned." An airframe is not valued by its weight in aluminum, nor is an aircraft engine valued by its weight in nickel. At least in our industry, it's all about the engineering on the front end, and the quality system on the backend. But unit economics allow for the commercial buy-in by the customer--and that's what's changed. Still there are many, many pitfalls out there for people who use the technology to design, build, and sell into specific markets, but (as you mention obliquely in the article) there's no chance we're opining on that topic.
