Heraeus and AI Silk unveil ultra-light metaverse glove

February 9, 2023 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

Heraeus Epurio, a specialist developer of conductive polymer materials, and AI Silk , a Japanese wearable-tech startup that has developed the proprietary and patented conductive fiber “Lead Skin”, have together unveiled the “Haptic Metaverse Glove”.

The “ultra-light” glove has no mechanical parts attached, that doubles as sensors and an AR/VR/XR controller.

Made from AI Silk’s proprietary conductive fiber, Lead Skin, Haptic Metaverse Glove powered by Lead Skin features built-in finger-bending sensors, as well as control buttons on the back of the wearer’s hand, all of which are also made of the same conductive fiber.

5G Network Construction Requirements for Optical Fiber Products

December 9, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

5G is a leading technology in the field of new-generation information and communication technology. At the same time, 5G technology, as an important factor driving the development of the industrial Internet, is not only a new opportunity, but also a huge challenge.

It is worth mentioning that industry customers are actively embracing 5G technology in the process of transforming from informatization and automation to digitalization and intelligence. At the same time, 5G network construction puts forward higher requirements for optical fiber and cable products.

This article only elaborates on the application requirements of 5G network construction for fiber optic cable products from the aspect of fiber optic cable application. [Read more…] about 5G Network Construction Requirements for Optical Fiber Products

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics market set to grow to $64 billion by 2030

September 24, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are a critical class of performance materials, but disruptions from Covid-19 have made the future of the industry uncertain.

In a new report, The Future of Carbon Fiber Composites, Lux Research outlines major challenges and opportunities carbon fibers and CFRPs face and how standardization and recycling are enabling the CFRP market to grow to a $64 billion industry by 2030.

The carbon fiber industry is facing three major challenges: weakness in underlying markets, fiber standardization, and recycling. [Read more…] about Carbon fiber reinforced plastics market set to grow to $64 billion by 2030

Facebook unveils robot that can walk high wires to install telecom and power lines

August 4, 2020 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Social media giant Facebook has unveiled a robot, designed by ULC Robotics, that can move along high wires to install telecom and power lines. (See video below.)

Facebook Connectivity, in collaboration with a number of partners, says it has spent the last few years developing the robot.

The company describes it as an aerial fiber deployment solution that uses a robot designed to install a specialized fiber-optic cable on medium-voltage power lines. [Read more…] about Facebook unveils robot that can walk high wires to install telecom and power lines

Electric jet startup Lilium to use carbon fibre from Toray

July 14, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Lilium, a German aerospace startup developing a small vertical-lift electric jet aircraft, and Toray Industries, a manufacturer of carbon fiber, have signed an agreement for the supply of “higher performance” carbon fiber composite.

The Lilium Jet is a five-seater, emissions-free aircraft that can take off and land vertically and is designed to provide high-speed regional connections of up to 300km in under 60 minutes.

The aircraft’s primary structures, such as the fuselage, wings and flaps will all be made from carbon fiber. [Read more…] about Electric jet startup Lilium to use carbon fibre from Toray

‘World’s first 3D printed fiber reinforced polymer footbridge paves way for circular composites’, say designers

July 9, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

The world’s first lightweight 3D printed fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) footbridge will be installed at Kralingse Bos park – the green heart of Rotterdam, in the Netherlands.

Its designers say the construction will herald the transition towards “the next generation of bridges, offering high performance with extreme versatility, circularity and sustainability”.

Science and technology company DSM and the City of Rotterdam are to collaborate in the designing and building of the new “circular composite footbridge” – “circular” usually refers to recycled or recyclable.

Mazak launches new laser processing machine for small and medium diameter tube

June 25, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Yamazaki Mazak is launching a new high-productivity laser processing machine specifically designed for the high-speed, large lot cutting of small and medium diameter tube.

The new FT-150 FIBER is a compact laser processing machine that benefits from an ergonomic design, with the operator area, loading station and unloading station all located on the same side.

Equipped with a 3.0kW fiber resonator, the FT-150 FIBER can process single workpieces up to 6,500mm in length and 150kg in weight, with a maximum tube diameter of 152.4mm. 8,000mm and 180kg options are also available.

AREVO partners with AGC on 3D printing in Japanese markets

November 20, 2019 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

AREVO, the Silicon Valley company specialising in composites manufacturing through digitalization – or 3D printing, has chosen AGC as its strategic business partner in Japan.

The two companies plan to provide “manufacturing-as-a-service” for the on-demand production of ultra-strong, lightweight 3D-printed composite parts for the Japanese market.

This service is based on AREVO’s “Aqua” platform, the world’s first industrial-grade continuous fiber 3D printing system capable of printing parts of up to one meter cubic volume. [Read more…] about AREVO partners with AGC on 3D printing in Japanese markets
