WASP has completed the printing phase of the TECLA supporting structure, the fully 3D printed construction based on natural materials and made with multiple 3D printers operating at the same time.

Advanced new metal casting capabilities from AMFAS International are now available at distributor New Yorker Electronics.

STMicroelectronics has announced a new generation of extreme power-saving microcontrollers (MCUs), theSTM32U5* series, to meet the most demanding power/performance requirements for smart applications including wearables, personal medical devices, home automation, and industrial sensors.

Industrial and commercial power electronics demand robust resistor performance. When high stability and low thermal resistance are important, standard chip resistors may not be the best solution. Chip resistors with reverse geometry provide terminations on the long sides of the chip, as opposed to the short side terminal for standard chips.

For the next generation of low-cost, battery operated, wireless IoT products, the design goal is to provide RF signal range and stability, while also reducing power consumption, in a miniaturised package. As a result, RF chipset manufacturers are increasingly fine-tuning and improving their products. Johanson Technology has released a chipset specific integrated passive device designed to do just this.

The lithium-ion batteries in Electric Vehicles (EVs) present very different material demands at the cell- and pack-level compared with the Internal-Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles they replace. Whilst ICE drivetrains heavily rely on aluminum and steel alloys, Li-ion batteries utilise a lot of materials such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, copper, insulation, thermal interface materials, and much more at a cell- and pack-level.

To ensure they can meet deadlines and deliver products in line with customers’ high expectations, UK manufacturers are looking for ways to increase assembly speed. There are many ways to speed up industrial assembly, such as investing in automation and robotics, but few options can increase manufacturing speed without capital investment. In these cases, perhaps it is the components and not the equipment that needs changing. Here Justin Lawr...

Researchers at MINES ParisTech have implemented Panasas ActiveStor high-performance computing (HPC) data storage to support the rapidly growing research efforts at the university’s Materials Research Centre. MINES ParisTech, which conducts €30 million in annual research contracts, needed to expand its HPC data storage capacity to take on an increasing load of research to drive further discoveries.

DELO has introduced a new LED lamp for speeding up adhesivecuring UV. The spotlight source DELOLUX 504 features the latest generation of UV LEDs, achieving three times the intensity of the previous model. It was developed for high-speed production in the electronics and automotive industries that require small areas to be irradiated and equipment to be easily integrated into existing systems

You wouldn’t attempt to delicately manicure a bonsai tree with a chainsaw, even if it would be entertaining to watch. This may seem obvious, but there are many fields where selecting the right tool is a vital ingredient to success. In the composites industry, customers often request carbon fibre when in fact fibreglass is a better suited high performance material for their needs. Here, Kim Sjödahl, Senior Vice President, R&D and Te...
