✨ Make it shine! It’s the finishing touches that make all the difference. Here’s a quick look behind the scenes at Prismier, where a little hands-on polishing helps get a part looking its best before it leaves the shop. Because attention to detail matters at every stage.

18 robots. 156 clamping points. One incredible welding operation. 🤖 This automated automotive body welding system uses 18 ABB robots working in a coordinated sequence, with welding performed in two stages to reach different areas of the vehicle. 🎥 Video credit: Miloš Kučera

Great things happen when we work together! 🤝 Behind every successful project is a team of people sharing ideas, solving problems, and working toward a common goal. At Prismier, collaboration is at the heart of how we make manufacturing simpler for our customers.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that are the most satisfying. Hector gives us a quick look at sheet metal fabrication, showing how easily the cutouts drop free. A little behind-the-scenes action from the Prismier shop floor!

Google’s robot is learning to play cornhole, improving its movements with each attempt. 🤖 A fascinating look at how AI and robotics are advancing real-world automation. What could robots learn to do next? 🎥 Google

Why do spacecraft have blunt noses instead of pointed ones? 🚀 During re-entry, their shape creates a shock wave that helps keep extreme heat away from the surface. A fascinating example of how geometry drives performance. 🎥 @baultro

Rethinking robotic motion. 🤖 The Tripteron uses a unique parallel-linkage design to achieve precise movement in three dimensions. Could this be the future of large-format 3D printing and automation? 🎥 Zaber Technologies / CTO Robotics Media

Big robot. Incredible precision. 🤖 Watch this ABB IRB 6700 change its orientation while keeping its Tool Center Point (TCP) fixed in space. A great example of the engineering behind modern automation! 🎥 Credit: Marcin Gwozdz

Nothing like a Friday smile from Hector to wrap up the week! 😁 A little behind-the-scenes happiness from the Prismier team. Happy Friday, everyone! 🙌

LUUM has developed robotic technology that assists with applying eyelash extensions, handling the precision work while lash artists focus on the finishing touches. What do you think, ladies? Would you trust a robot working this close to your eyes? 👀 🎥 Video cred: UNILAD Tech

A closer look at laser etching in action. 🔍 From part numbers and identification marks to custom logos, laser etching creates clean, permanent markings directly on manufactured parts. Just one of the finishing details we can handle before parts head out the door.

AI infrastructure is heading offshore. This floating solar array is powering an Nvidia H100 GPU completely off-grid. Clever solution — or does putting infrastructure on the ocean create a whole new set of engineering and environmental challenges? 🎥 Interesting Engineering

Possibly one of the most badass analog computers ever built. The Soviet Globus tracked a spacecraft’s predicted position using gears, cams and differentials — no GPS or digital computer. Orbital math, done mechanically. ⚙️🚀 Cred: Alok Jain

Air-to-air refueling is precision engineering in action. At speed and thousands of feet above the ground, every component and system has to perform exactly as intended. Pretty remarkable engineering. ✈️ 🎥 Credit: Luis L.

3D printing is moving beyond geometry. Harvard’s MM3D technology can rapidly switch between materials during a print, allowing different properties within a single part. An interesting look at the future of multimaterial manufacturing. Credit: Harvard University

A microscopic leak can become a major failure. This is a great look at how advanced laser welding is being used to create reliable, gas-tight seals in demanding applications like EV battery cooling systems. Credit: Peter Wirth / TRUMPF

This Korean robotics company is developing magnetic climbing robots for shipyard welding — bringing automation directly to large steel structures. A fascinating example of robotics adapting to real-world manufacturing environments. Credit: Yu Been Park / DIDEN ROBOTICS

Building a humanoid is one challenge. Building thousands consistently is another. UBTECH’s new factory targets 10,000+ robots/year, using automation, digital quality control and even robots to help build robots. 🎥 UBTECH / Interesting Engineering

AI is moving into the engineering workflow itself. If designs can be generated and iterated faster, manufacturing will need to keep pace. The question isn’t just what AI can design — it’s how quickly we can manufacture it. 🎥 Trung Doan Hong / DeltaX Robotics

An autonomous aircraft has now crossed the U.S. — 122 years after the first powered flight at Kitty Hawk. A remarkable aerospace milestone, and a reminder that even as autonomy advances, precision and reliability in the physical hardware remain critical. Credit: Joby Aviation
