Meltio debuts blue laser 3D printer created with wire-laser metal
The Meltio M600 machine is expected to solve common manufacturing issues such as long lead times, high stock-keeping costs and “fragile” supply chains.
New refrigerator runs by flexing its artificial muscles
The refrigerator is a compact prototype that demonstrates the new cooling technology, which works according to the elastocaloric principle wherein heat is removed from a region via stretching wires and thus releasing them.
Electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries
A lithium battery cell's cathode materials and metals can add 30% to 40% to the price tag, whereas anode materials usually make up around 10% to 15% of the overall cost.
Arburg at Chinaplas 2024: Additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing with the Freeformer
A Freeformer 300-3X will demonstrate how additive end-of-arm tooling for various robotic systems and handling tasks can be 3D printed on demand quickly and cost-effectively.
Algae-based air purifier removes harmful chemicals from the air
The AIReactor from EcoLogicStudio is a 3 ft tall structure that features a recycled birch plywood frame and a glass photobioreactor at its core that contains green liquid packed with microalgae cultures.
Pineapple-based oral vaccine promises to stave off UTIs
To stave off UTIs, the researchers suggest that patients spray the substance under their tongues daily for a period of three months.
Researchers develop a sweet solution for building material
The new brick-like material, dubbed Sugarcrete, is composed of bagasse, which is a byproduct of sugarcane.
Team replicates an adult human ear using tissue engineering, 3D printing
Designed to look and feel like the real thing, the researchers believe the development will pave the way for future grafts with well-defined anatomy and the correct biomechanical properties for those born with outer ear deformities or who lose an ear later in life.
Enhanced pipe flexibility and stress analysis software launched by Hexagon
CAESAR II enables quick and accurate analysis of piping systems subjected to a wide range of loads, considering weight, pressure, thermal, seismic and other static and dynamic conditions.
New automotive air purifier eliminates up to 90% of airborne pollen inside vehicles
The GoPure GP5212 filters out airborne allergens including pollen and mold that can pass through the cabin filters typically found in vehicles.
PSG Biotech unveils its latest innovation: The Quattroflow QB2-SD Single-Use Micropump
The pump is single-use and can be easily clicked in and out of a motor drive, facilitating quick changeovers, particularly in environments where full personal protective equipment (PPE) is required.
A new French e-bike doesn't need a battery
The Pi-Pop is a sustainability-focused e-bike that doesn’t use regular power cells. It uses a “sans” lithium-ion power thanks to an innovative design that substitutes an eco-friendly supercapacitor in place of a battery.
Enhance environmental and operational safety with PFAS-free chainflex cables from Igus
The “PFAS-free” label signifies that chainflex cables are devoid of these hazardous chemicals, safeguarding customer operations without needing product disposal or replacement if bans are implemented.
Allrounder 720 A: Efficient injection compression molding of IML thin-walled cups
An electric Allrounder 720 A in the "Ultimate" performance variant demonstrates at NPE 2024 that high-quality injection molding technology can be an alternative to thermoforming.
