How can an anti-icing coating help combat icing problems? How can it be implemented and how can its effect be simulated in a lab? These are the questions behind the launch of the COOCK project Fighting Icing and the NewSkin programme.

The partners of the FabricAr3v project are organising a half-day workshop focusing on Metal Additive Manufacturing in fab labs and SMEs: Integrating low-cost and open-source technology in industry in the digital era. If you are interested in Metal Additive Manufacturing technology and are looking to ...

Currently, industry is clearly going through a period of adaptation. Just imagine if your business was capable of reducing its lead times by 90%. What advantages would this offer your clients, your staff, your company and your energy consumption? How can you guide your teams to turn this dream into ...

What does it cost to avoid an environmental impact of products? The eco-cost method makes it possible to calculate this eco-impact. Although this solution may seem too simple and its use entails quite some challenges, it does have an important value. We’ll explain what it is and give some examples.

Although a range of working methods and calculation models is available to help optimise a machining process, many of these have wholly or partly fallen into disuse. We are seeking to change that with our 'model-based machining' platform, in which these calculation models are freely available. This ...

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 suitable for operating a manual wire tapping installation, a nut projection welding machine and a bending ...

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 defining the concepts and the use cases relevant to move standardization forward.

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 prosthesis. Together, this leads to prosthetics being rejected less and lasting longer. Such ...

Laser surface texturing is increasingly being used as a surface treatment technology because it improves and speeds up treatment, making the process more cost-effective. This development opens the door to more innovative applications, such as those on cutting tools.
