Additive manufacturing, which is often referred to as 3-D printing, enables the creation of complex internal structures. A successful application of this capability is tools with optimised internal cooling channels. Such near-contour cooling geometries can efficiently temper tools to improve quality, durability and productivity. However, the design of such channels requires reliable simulation, which is … Continued

SteriType antimicrobial covers and sleeves have been popular within high infection areas for over twelve years. Perfect for hospitals, surgeries, dental practices and even call centres (where ‘hot desking’ is common), the need to prevent the spread of infection has always been high. SteriType keyboards and antimicrobial covers enable compliance with HTM 01-05 regulations, making … Continued

The initial hype around 3D printing has been overcome. Machines and materials have matured, and more and more industrial users are moving up the slope of enlightenment towards the plateau of productivity. While some companies are still struggling to implement additive manufacturing processes, others have managed to revolutionize entire markets with disruptive products. Surprising is … Continued

On November 2 2019, a spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) with supplies for the 3D BioFabrication Facility (BFF). Besides human cells and bioinks for BFF, also being tested during this mission are new components of Techshot’s tissue conditioning system that were manufactured by Lithoz America, LLC. The latest round of microgravity bioprinting … Continued

To borrow from an old idiom, the field of nanotechnology continues to demonstrate that good things come in small packages. What sets nanomaterials apart from their larger sub-micron and micron-sized cousins is not simply their size, but the unique behaviours they exhibit at this smaller scale. How these behaviours are leveraged forms the foundation for enhancing existing … Continued
