Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Digitization is facilitating new forms of work and collaboration, while at the same time confronting industry with a new set of challenges.
As the need for a technically qualified workforce goes up, the number of qualified workers continues to go down.
The Hannover Messe supporting program titled “Career 4.0” explores the different requirements and opportunities in this sphere. [Read more…] about Hannover Messe: How digitization is revolutionizing work
Injection molding, in principle, is a simple process. It involves designing a mold which contains a cavity in the shape of the product that has been designed.
That product is often produced in plastic, which is initially melted and passed into the mold’s cavity.
Once cooled, the solid-state part is removed from the mold, and there you have it – the plastic part that you had originally designed. [Read more…] about Sositar Mould celebrates 20th year in the injection moulding business
Robotic Vision Technologies, a provider of machine vision software, has secured more than $10.5 million in funding.
The investment comes from a mix of CEO and director funding as well as investments from technology funds from Silicon Valley, Northern Virginia, Canada and Germany.
To date, RVT has used its funding to focus heavily on research and development while continually enhancing its software with “faster computing power producing increased precision and speed with low-cost, yet highly sophisticated, off-the-shelf vision hardware components”.

N10nm pattern generation using thermal scanning probe lithography enabled by simplified materials and processes, says SwissLitho
Thermal scanning probe lithography (tSPL) has been used to create patterns with sub-20 nm half-pitch resolution.
Pattern generation uses a thermally sensitive resist and spin coatable hard mask materials to transfer the resist patterns.
Spin coatable materials permit users of tSPL to reduce time and cost of the patterning process. [Read more…] about SwissLitho develops more simple technique for nano-lithography
Company says unique platform structure shortens lead times, allowing samples to be shipped as early as next day
Kyocera has introduced a new series of clock oscillators specially designed to support multi size and frequencies for quick-turnaround delivery requirements.
The oscillators are also qualified to Automotive Electronics Council reliability standards.
Samples of Kyocera’s new Z-Series clock oscillators for electronic equipment and automotive electronics are now available worldwide. [Read more…] about Kyocera introduces new Z-series clock oscillators
Injection molding is regarded by many as the most important method of manufacturing plastic parts, and it’s the method in which Eco Molding specialises.
And if you are considering using the injection molding technique, you might agree that designing a mold for the part is as important as designing the part itself – if the mold is right, the part will be exactly as intended.
Such is the importance of getting the mold correct that both the part and mold are increasingly designed at the same time once the initial product specifications are decided because the mold designer can help inform the development of the final design.

Whether you are an independent inventor designing a new product or a multinational company with a global operation, Wayken’s rapid prototyping and manufacturing services can help you reach your goals
Although Wayken specialises in injection moulding and CNC machining, it also offers 3D printing services.
Most manufacturing professionals will probably tell you that if you’re serious about high-quality prototyping and mass manufacturing, you’re probably going to have to involve yourself with injection moulding and CNC machining sooner or later, although 3D printing can be useful in many areas.
Wayken can guide you through the process of using all the current manufacturing technologies. [Read more…] about Wayken rapid prototyping adds 3D printing to injection moulding and CNC machining
Downsizing starts with a scientific discovery that enables the miniaturisation of normal-sized human beings to a fraction of their original size – to about 5 inches tall.
Why would anyone want to downsize in this way? Well, downsizing in the real world usually means moving to a smaller place to live and reducing your costs.
And this is what Downsizing is about, except it includes downsizing of the physical human form, which saves even more money because you could then live in a toy house and pay a tiny fraction of the costs of living as “big people”. [Read more…] about Downsizing: It’s a small world
ABB boss Ulrich Spiesshofer has been praising the musical talents of the company’s YuMi collaborative robot.
The chief executive of the industrial giant is said to have musical talents of his own and can play the clarinet, saxophone and accordion.
Robotics and Automation News has been trying to get an interview with Spiesshofer but he gave an exclusive interview to Forbes instead. [Read more…] about ABB boss talks up musical talents of company’s YuMi collaborative robot
Midea, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of household appliances, has launched an ambitious artificial intelligence project through which the company is looking to transform its business.
The company says the “Midea Brain” project will accelerate Midea’s speed of innovation and product and application development in the AI field.
In the last two years, artificial intelligence especially deep learning, has emerged as a major technology trend. [Read more…] about Midea launches deep learning artificial intelligence initiative
