3D printer accelerates prototyping process
The latest version of the MakerBot 3D printer – the MakerBot Method is now being shipped by distributor RS Components. It has been designed to bridge the gap between industrial and desktop 3D printing.
Buttons and switches addressing design needs
Touchscreens and membrane switches are useful for visual and low-profile control panels. However, some applications require designers to emphasise safety, ease of access, the switching of high voltages or current, a known configuration at power up, or robustness. For such situations, mechanical switches and buttons are often ideal, but designers need to choose carefully. Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics, explains.
Desktop 3D printer boasts three fabrication methods
A desktop multi-tool 3D printer offering three different fabrication methods: an FFF (fused filament fabrication) 3D printer; a CNC router; and a laser cutter and engraver is in stock at RS Components. The ZMorph VX offers professional print quality, reliability and a choice of dozens of fabrication materials to engineers, designers, artists and educators undertaking one-off projects, prototyping or mass production.
Live coat, cure and test demos of 2K850 coating at electronica
Electrolube will be conducting live, stand-based demonstrations of its revolutionary new 2K850 conformal coating material using a line-up of three machines covering: dispensing and cure, followed by an end-of-line test of the coating using groundbreaking new technology developed in partnership with Electrolube.Electrolube will be in Hall B4 Stand 315 at Electronica this year with live demonstrations of what it claims to be one of the most importa...
3D printer creates prototypes and end use components
The latest 3D printer from Ultimaker is available from RS Components. The Ultimaker S5 targets the professional end of the market across a number of applications and meets engineering requirements from the creation of prototypes to full end-use industrial-grade components and parts.
Nanomesh structure prevents skin inflammation
A hypoallergenic electronic sensor can be worn on the skin continuously for a week without discomfort, and is so light and thin that users forget they even have it on, says a group of researchers at the University of Tokyo and their collaborators. The elastic electrode constructed of breathable nanoscale meshes holds promise for the development of noninvasive e-skin devices that can monitor a person's health continuously over a long period.
People with tetraplegia gain use of brain-computer interface
For a brain-computer interface (BCI) to be truly useful for a person with tetraplegia, it should be ready whenever it’s needed, with minimal expert intervention, including the very first time it’s used. In a new study in the Journal of Neural Engineering, researchers in the BrainGate* collaboration demonstrate new techniques that allowed three participants to achieve peak BCI performance within three minutes of engaging in an easy, on...
Live selective coating demonstration at Productronica
Electrolube, will host live dispensing demonstrations of its new 2K two-part conformal coating on a new PVA Delta 8 selective coating system at Productronica 2017 (Messe Munich, November 14-17, Hall A4 Booth 466). The live demonstrations will enable visitors to experience the ease of dispensing application and see the benefits of this new coating in terms of how it effectively combines the protection and properties of a resin, with the practical ...
Video analyser boards streamline real-time testing of UHD TVs
Two high-performance PXIe boards, which automate a wide range of testing tasks required on the production lines of UHD TV, computer monitor and other high-resolution displays were unveiled by Alfamation at productronica in Munich (November 14-17). The continuous evolution of flat screen display technology, with ever-increasing resolutions, deep colours and higher frame rates, is placing extreme demands on design engineers for rapid and ultra-prec...
