Xuron Corp. has introduced two hand tools that have been paired for fused filament fabrication style 3D printers to prepare the filament for feeding and for removing post-printing supports.


Xuron® 3D Printer Hand Tools feature the Model 170-II Micro-Shear® Flush Cutter which produces a clean, square cut using shear action for trimming filament and cleaning up printed parts, and the Model 450 Tweezer-Noseâ„¢ Pliers which has precise tips capable of holding a human hair.

Ergonomically designed, Xuron® 3D Printer Hand Tools have contoured, non-slip soft rubber grips and a Light Touchâ„¢ return spring. Made from alloyed steel and hardened for high reliability and long life, these tools have a glare-eliminating black finish that is easy on the eyes.

Xuron® 3D Printer Hand Tools are priced separately: Model 170-II Micro-Shear® Flush Cutter is $9.25 (list) and the Model 450 Tweezer-Noseâ„¢ Plier is $17.95 (list). A catalog is available upon request.

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.
