European Alliance for SMC/BMC launches the third edition of the international competition for students and young designers this year dedicated to Sustainable Living. The competition wants to promote design excellence in using SMC and BMC advanced materials. Pre-registration closes on July 1st, 2021.
Researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed an excellent parameter set for 3D printing graphene-based structures with optimized conductive qualities. Using these parameters as a guide, the scientists produced a material with enhanced strength and conductivity, ideal for use within military applications.
eTa Blades progetta, sviluppa e produce pale eoliche innovative per turbine di nuove installazioni e propone e supporta programmi di Re-blading per parchi eolici già in esercizio per le esigenze della generazione eolica moderna. Lavora alla creazione di nuovi profili alari, utilizzando tecnologie e materiali innovativi al fine di migliorare complessivamente l’efficienza degli impianti eolici.
Three railway stations placed on the Naples-Formia railway line are reborn for the second time thanks to the PBO fiber reinforcement systems based on FRCM composite materials. The works involved the restoration of the structural functionality and the improvement of the seismic behavior, thanks to a solution with great application versatility.
Archer and Fiat Chrysler announced the agreement for the production of electric aircraft. This partnership will probably allow the start-up to low purchasing costs and to accelerate the launch of an electric flying car.
Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have created a “morphing” nozzle that allows to 3D print custom parts with fiber-filled composites. This work opens the doors for new 3D printing applications, for example in the biomedical or military fields.
CMC composite ceramic matrix, a material as fascinating as it is effective, is now able to excel in the world of motorsport. This innovative material applied in the production of discs reached success thanks to its lightness, hardness, wear resistance, and low deformation.
Covestro, tra i principali fornitori di pellicole speciali per documenti d’identità, sviluppa e offre soluzioni per le esigenze del comparto e ha illustrato, in occasione della conferenza virtuale “Identity Week 2020”, gli ultimi sviluppi per passaporti e carta d’identità. Durante l’occasione, ha presentato i suoi concetti completi e integrati per la produzione di documenti d’identità altamente sicuri.
Per poter commercializzare in Italia i propri sistemi per il rinforzo strutturale, a partire dal nuovo anno i fabbricanti devono possedere il CVT – Certificato di Valutazione Tecnica. Il Ministero ha prorogato la scadenza per l’obbligatorietà del Certificato al 30 giugno 2021.
Nissan Motor Co supported in its production processes by ESI Group, a global player in Virtual Prototyping software and services for industry. Car parts will be developed with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), a lightweight yet strong material. The cars produced will be safer and more fuel-efficient.
