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 ...

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 obstacles to overcome and unclarities to address for IVD manufacturers and suppliers to the IVD industry ...

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 enquiry, subject to members input) to DIS (“Draft International Standard” – draft for enquiry, subject ...

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. However, everything hinges on having and understanding a standardised and structured model in which ...

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, dirt-resistant, self-cleaning, ... by giving them a microstructure. This is possible today with ...

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 conditions and the complexity of the problem, this is a challenging area of research. New technologies ...
