Where Innovation Meets Imagination
3D printing is also referred to as additive manufacturing. It is the process of creating 3 dimensional (3D) objects that are solid.
The solid objects are printed from a digital file by way of additive processes where thin layers of material are added in succession.
Many objects can be printed, including 3 wheel inline skates. The following instructions will explain how to do so. [Read more…] about How to 3D Print Custom Inline Skates
Outrider, a developer of autonomous technology for yard operations at logistics hubs, has released “fully autonomous” trailer backing capabilities to its fleet.
This proprietary technology enables autonomous yard trucks to back trailers into tight spaces with precision and without modifications to trailers.
These capabilities are now available as part of the Outrider System, which automates distribution yards for large, logistics-dependent enterprises. [Read more…] about Outrider releases ‘fully autonomous’ truck parking system

Kingetics, a small veteran owned startup company has developed and tested new technology that has shown significant improvements in protecting our soldiers as well as improving the gait of mechanical walking systems.
Load carriage and high impact forces on the lower limbs are often cited as leading causes of musculoskeletal injuries. Injury rates during military training range from 1 per cent to 16 per cent, and up to 30 per cent in elite infantry units.
Data from Podiatry Arena shows that there are about 32,000 broken bones per year during military combat, costing the US Department of Defense an estimated $240,000,000 in medical expenses. [Read more…] about Kingetics makes ‘big innovations’ in footwear-exoskeleton-robotic ambulation science
Any first responder will tell you that the first 72 hours following a natural disaster are the most crucial to saving lives.
However, often times due to the nature of the disaster (forest fire, earthquake, hurricane, or flood), it can be difficult for search-and-rescue and humanitarian aid missions to reach and get immediate help to those in need.
The need for efficient, rapid, resilient transportation for disaster assistance is what led Hyundai to develop the first-ever vehicle with moveable legs.
