Electrified mobility – Reliable machining of small housings for electric motors made of magnesium and aluminium

Today amateur cyclists are climbing heights seemingly without any effort at all; heights that would actually make even cycling professionals sweat. E-bikes (pedelecs) are their secret, i.e. bicycles with electric auxiliary motors; they’re found all over the place today and are becoming more and more common. As the popularity of e-bikes increases, so does the demand for the production of electric bicycle components.

Efficient process of cleaning small quantities of high purity products with a jet of CO2

In many areas, such as medical engineering, the semiconductor industry, laboratory and development environments, and similair, the products manufactured in small quantities must meet the highest standards of purity. For such cases, acp systems has developed two new CO2 jet cleaning booths suitable for use in clean rooms. The cabins enable the cleaning of high-purity products with a manual or partially automated process based on acatt systems' quattroClean technology.

How to control the production with base granulate, recycled and shredded material

This contribution presents recycled materials and their use in production, the required equipment in case of mixing virgin and recycled or shredded materials and the risks of using recycled materials. Different colours and adding methods in base material will be presented as well, with all required equipment for colour adding and risks when using colours in production.

ExOne, in partnership with Rapidia, introduced the world's fastest, office-safe, metal 3D printer

ExOne, in partnership with Rapidia, introduced the ExOne Metal Designlab office desktop printer and the X1F advanced oven. The first office-safe systems will be delivered in the second quarter of 2021. A special feature of the process is the water-based paste "HydroFuse", which contains metal or ceramic types of powder, without the need to remove the binder before final sintering.
