Malmar rounds-off the RECOPRODAS demonstrator with an open day at its production site in Lithuania. A proof-of-concept was set up on the RECOPRODAS demonstrator of a mobile deployable cobot unit ...
As the digital transformation of our world accelerates, digital twin technologies are becoming indispensable tools in a very wide number of areas and domains. IEC and ISO are working hand in hand on ...
To prevent prostheses from becoming contaminated with bacteria, their surface can be coated with a bacteria-killing microstructure. Moreover, this coarsening improves the adhesion of the bone to the ...
26 May 2022 is the official date of application for the Regulation 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR), thereby repealing the old IVD directive 98/79/EC. There are still many ...
The draft ISO/ASTM CD 52926-4 “Additive manufacturing of metals — Qualification principles — Part 4: Qualification of operators for DED-LB” has changed from status CD (“Committee Draft” – draft for ...
The use of (real-time) data to adjust production processes is the future of production - in machining one speaks of "adaptive machining" This is made possible by the increased availability of sensors ...
Last September, the European Triple-A-COAT project was kicked-off by the project partners having a 2-day meeting in Leuven. The project aims to develop a bio-based nanocellulose coating platform with different antiviral/antimicrobial mechanisms for surfaces and textiles in high traffic areas. The resulting coating will be applicable by spray coating or as a thin film.
Biomimetics or 'biomimicry' imitates principles found in nature to solve practical problems, such as modifying a surface to add certain properties to it. Thus, surfaces can be made water-repellent ...
When two surfaces move across each other, friction occurs. The strength and wear are influenced, among other things, by the roughness of these surfaces. Because of the wide variety of friction ...
An innovative technology such as ultrashort pulsed lasers (USL) can change the properties of a surface by applying a texture. In the case of friction, these modifications can influence the frictional ...
The draft ISO/ASTM CD 52926-1 'Additive manufacturing of metals - Qualification principles - Part: General qualification of operators' has changed from status CD ('Committee Draft' - draft for enquiry ...
