XJet brings latest in additive manufacturing developments to Rapid.Tech + FabCon 3.D

XJet will showcase what this unparalleled technology brings to the additive manufacturing industry while also demonstrating its unique soluble support material removal live.

Rehovot, Israel, June 18th 2019 - XJet Ltd. invites visitors to stand 2-209 at Rapid.Tech + FabCon 3.D, 25 - 27 June in Erfurt, Germany, to witness the impressive and unique applications made possible by its NanoParticle Jetting™ (NPJ) technology in metal and ceramic AM. Applications being highlighted include a 5G antenna application and a medical device aimed at treating breast cancer. XJet will showcase what this unparalleled technology brings to the additive manufacturing industry while also demonstrating its unique soluble support material removal live.

"Visitors are invited onto the XJet stand to experience removing XJet's soluble support material with their own hands - to truly witness the ease of this process," comments XJet CEO Dror Danai. "Rapid.Tech provides us with the platform for Europeans to get ‘hands-on' with the process and hear how NPJ enables applications that were simply not possible previously. XJet is removing the barriers previously associated with ceramic and metal AM, giving designers a new realm of freedom."
XJet is making new applications possible thanks to the technology's ability to accurately create ultra-fine features, smooth surfaces and complex geometries. North American start-up, Marvel Medtech, is one company planning to capitalize on those benefits. Medtech will install an XJet Carmel 1400 AM System later this summer to produce a ceramic cryotherapy probe - a key component within a new robotic intervention guidance system for MRIs, designed to freeze and destroy the most dangerous tiny breast cancer tumors and prevent them from growing.
University of Delaware (UDEL) has installed an XJet AM System for a very different application; to develop cutting-edge antenna technology called ‘Passive Beam Steering' for, amongst other applications, the 5G network. Like Medtech, UDEL's application needs to be produced in ceramic, however traditional ceramic manufacturing methods could not produce the small internal channels and complex geometry without damaging the part. Using nano particles and soluble support material, XJet provides the only ceramic AM technology capable of delivering the fine details and smooth surfaces required.
Visitors to Rapid.Tech + FabCon can hear more about these applications at the show. See XJet on stand 2-209 at Messe Erfurt GmbH, from June 25 - 27. Members of the XJet executive teams are available at the show and meetings can be pre-booked via the XJet website.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
