Report: How engineers can resolve water security issues
A new Engineering Research Visioning Alliance report identifies engineering research priorities to address the complex issue of water security.
Plant to produce green hydrogen from reclaimed water
This will be the first facility in Spain to use recycled water as a source of hydrogen generation, instead of drinking water.
i.Comp series compressors deliver superior efficiency and high quality air
These units feature a reliable two-cylinder, single-stage oilless compressor with an integrated direct drive motor.
A role for coal in hydrogen storage
The feasibility of large-scale hydrogen storage in coalbed formations is under investigation.
The water sector takes aim at climate change
A recent survey reveals how 100 water and wastewater utilities in North America and Europe are pursuing decarbonization goals.
A fine finish: New manual spray gun models from Sames
These models promise less operator fatigue while delivering energy savings and superior finishing quality.
Benefits of electropolishing for the medical industry
From implantable devices to surgical instruments, electropolishing offers medical device manufacturers a reliable, high-quality, ultraclean surface finish that improves fit, finish and function — and yields better patient outcomes.
Comparing and contrasting basic additive processes
Humans have been using both additive and subtractive processes to make useful objects for tens of thousands of years. We just didn’t have the same terms for those processes as we do today.
How to use 3D printing for production tooling
The phenomena of 3D printing is a great example of how technology progresses. “Printing layers of sticky, melted plastic” hardly sounds like the beginning of a revolution in manufacturing. But we have examples from other industries.
What is Agile development?
This process was developed in the spring of 2000 and it seems to have accomplished its core objectives: speed up software development and drive projects within the limitation of time and budget. Like all processes there are tradeoffs.
Video: Robots in the classroom prepare new wave of automation engineers
An education package featuring a collaborative robot cell and 56 hours of teaching materials will prepare the workforce to thrive in a new era of automation.
What's behind the push to designate Route 66 a National Historic Trail?
The current campaign to designate Route 66 a National Historic Trail is the fourth attempt to do so recently introduced in Congress.
BenQ Group is the world’s first company to pass International ISO Sustainability Certification at COMPUTEX Taipei 2023
The group's 15 goals in the three environmental, social and governance domains passed verification with a 100% rating.
Benefits of digital twins for rapid prototyping
Many organizations have adopted this technology because of its high level of accuracy and scalability, which allows for quick prototyping of ideas and improvement of existing product lines.
IAEA approves Fukushima water release plan
Plans to release treated water stored at the damaged nuclear power plant into the ocean will have a negligible radiological impact on people and the environment.
The next WAT+ load cell offers more versatility, accuracy and measurement stability for narrow web applications
The load cell range is engineered for tension measurement for composites, wire and cable, converting, packaging, labelling and battery manufacturing applications.
Video: A guide to planning asteroid mining missions
A new web-based tool simplifies the search for near-Earth asteroids that pose promising targets for resources essential in space manufacturing.
Make It Now with Rapid Prototyping (July 9 -15)
Increasingly, manufacturers are adopting small, niche production labs or lines to facilitate quick, iterative prototyping. 3D printers, laser cutters, digital design and simulation are becoming more common and more powerful.
Comau and Fincantieri present MR4Weld, the first robotized mobile solution for shipbuilding
The unique mobile robotic welding solution is being showcased at Automatica 2023.
The four levels of fastener automation
Fastener automation is an effective way to get more out of a process, while enhancing reliability and increasing tracking abilities. While some class of automation is an obvious solution, the question then becomes just how much automation is appropriate?
