Additive manufacturing produces objects in a succession of layers from the bottom, up. This is the opposite of traditional subtractive manufacturing processes. .</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li><a href="/white-papers/2012/12/3d-printing-fdm-how-it-works" rel="tag" title="3D Printing with FDM: How it Works">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about 3D Printing with FDM: How it Works</span></a></li></ul> Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:22:37 +0000 btomasino 186161 at http://www.ecnmag.com A New Mindset in Product Design: 3D printing can help bring products to market faster http://www.ecnmag.com/white-papers/2012/11/new-mindset-product-design-3d-printing-can-help-bring-products-market-faster <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img src="http://www.ecnmag.com/sites/ecnmag.com/files/Strat_140x140.jpg" border="0" height="140" width="140"></p> <p>The terms "3D printing" and "additive manufacturing" refer to processes that automatically build objects layer by layer from computer data.

In these applications there is a need to read multiple codes of the same symbology as well as multiple codes of mixed symbologies within one field of view (FOV). Even more difficult is reading one or more codes on multiple sides of a package to verify that the codes match or to output both sides' read results as one piece of data .</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li><a href="/white-papers/2012/11/multiple-code-reading-applications-made-easy" rel="tag" title="Multiple Code Reading Applications Made Easy">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about Multiple Code Reading Applications Made Easy</span></a></li></ul> Fri, 02 Nov 2012 15:32:02 +0000 btomasino 164501 at http://www.ecnmag.com New Technology Enables a Chip Scale Atomic Clock http://www.ecnmag.com/white-papers/2012/10/new-technology-enables-chip-scale-atomic-clock <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img src="http://www.ecnmag.com/sites/ecnmag.com/files/Symmeticom_250.jpg" border="0" height="120" width="120"></p> <p>This paper examines the technology, product features, performance specifications and several example applications of the Symmetricom CSAC SA.45s — the world's first Chip Scale Atomic Clock.</p> <div align="center"><iframe id="ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_SubWPContent_RegistrationFrame" src="http://www.advantagemedia.com/ims/scripts/registerwp.asp?id=1242" frameborder="0" height="1125" width="95%"></iframe></div></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li><a href="/white-papers/2012/10/new-technology-enables-chip-scale-atomic-clock" rel="tag" title="New Technology Enables a Chip Scale Atomic Clock">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about New Technology Enables a Chip Scale Atomic Clock</span></a></li></ul> Mon, 01 Oct 2012 12:30:00 +0000 btomasino 159806 at http://www.ecnmag.com Design Tips To Lower Magnetic Component Costs http://www.ecnmag.com/white-papers/2012/07/design-tips-lower-magnetic-component-costs <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img src="http://www.ecnmag.com/sites/ecnmag.com/files/Datatronics_200.jpg" border="0" height="40" width="200" /></p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li><a href="/white-papers/2012/07/design-tips-lower-magnetic-component-costs" rel="tag" title="Design Tips To Lower Magnetic Component Costs">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about Design Tips To Lower Magnetic Component Costs</span></a></li></ul> Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:00:00 +0000 btomasino 150571 at http://www.ecnmag.com A new foundation for 1-D barcode reading: Hotbars image analysis technology http://www.ecnmag.com/white-papers/2012/07/new-foundation-1-d-barcode-reading-hotbars-image-analysis-technology <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img src="http://www.ecnmag.com/sites/ecnmag.com/files/Cognex_140x140.jpg" border="0" height="140" width="140" /></p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li><a href="/white-papers/2012/07/new-foundation-1-d-barcode-reading-hotbars-image-analysis-technology" rel="tag" title="A new foundation for 1-D barcode reading: Hotbars image analysis technology">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about A new foundation for 1-D barcode reading: Hotbars image analysis technology</span></a></li></ul> Mon, 02 Jul 2012 13:00:00 +0000 btomasino 148981 at http://www.ecnmag.com 10 Reasons to Choose Image-based ID Readers http://www.ecnmag.com/white-papers/2012/03/10-reasons-choose-image-based-id-readers <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><div id="article"><div><div id="article_byline"></div></div><br /><p></p></div></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li><a href="/white-papers/2012/03/10-reasons-choose-image-based-id-readers" rel="tag" title="10 Reasons to Choose Image-based ID Readers">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about 10 Reasons to Choose Image-based ID Readers</span></a></li></ul> Mon, 05 Mar 2012 10:49:16 +0000 85419 at http://www.ecnmag.com Product Safety Certification for Today’s Global Economy http://www.ecnmag.com/white-papers/2011/10/product-safety-certification-today%E2%80%99s-global-economy <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><div id="article"><div></div><br /><p></p><div><div class="contentlogo" style="float: left;
