3D printing could be the answer for manufacturers affected by a new law requiring them to provide spare parts for fridges, washing machines and televisions. Ministers have confirmed that, from this summer, consumers will have a right to repair on goods they buy. It means manufacturers will be legally obliged to make spare parts for products available to consumers for up to a decade.

With the growth in the engineering sector in the last few years, the requirement of additional workers has led to an increasingly diverse workforce especially with the inclusion of women.The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) sector has traditionally been male dominated.

Optical Surfaces has been selectedby the Optical Engineering Group at the University of Warwick (UK) School of Engineering to supply key focusing optics to enable accurate 3D flight tracking and analysis of mosquito flight behaviour.

Too small. Too unpleasant for passengers. Zoox, bought by Amazon, makes what it calls a robotaxi, but it looks like a robot shuttle and is a bad compromise of both. As the IDTechEx reports on each explained, a robotaxi is usually an adapted car.

For years, Industry 4.0 has been a term that has grabbed the attention of not just business leaders, but political leaders too. Offering increased interconnectivity and networked intelligence through the Internet of Things (IoT) or other cyber-physical systems, Industry 4.0 is far more interlinked than revolutions before. However, there is a fine line between elegant networking and a tangle of hyper-automated systems, argues George Walker, Managi...

DELO has introduced a thermally conductive battery adhesive for hybrid vehicles. Designed for high-volume series production, DELO-DUOPOX TC8686 is thermally conductive and flame-retardant. The product is currently used in the ramp-up of an automotive supplier.

Electric vehicle powertrains are much more materially diverse than the internal-combustion engine vehicles they replace. As a result, they are putting sudden and unprecedented strain on several raw materials industries. One of the most crucial materials is Nickel, an essential part of the cathode in the Li-ion batteries enabling electrification.

Motor efficiency is often overlooked completely when chemical companies are addressing energy saving and the associated operating expenditure reductions. Here Tony Young, Director of CP Automation, presents his top tips for ensuring that the motors in your plant run as efficiently as possible.

Zytronic has announced its patented multitouch projected capacitive technology (MPCT) has been selected by Ideum, for its next-generation Pano Duo 49” interactive touch table. One of the first deployments is at the Röntgen Museum in Remscheid, Germany, where visitors can view and interact with both terrestrial and celestial objects and learn about the different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.

As offshore drilling goes into deeper depths, NewTek Sensor Solutions offers custom designs of Submersible Linear Position Sensors that offer high reliability and long-term operation in corrosive and high-pressure subsea environments.
