Students at University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten 'Design for Additive' with First-of-Its-Kind 3D Printed Self-Balancing Scooter
"¢ Tasked with optimizing a digital product life cycle for customized production, students learn how to 'think additively by designing self-balancing scooter development process around additive technology
"¢ Production of first self-balancing scooter prototype reduced from four weeks to four days with Stratasys additive technologies, equating to time-savings of 85%
"¢ Self-balancing scooter to be displayed at formnext in Frankfurt, November 14-17 in Hall 3.1, Stand F40

Longer Super Air Knives Cover Wide Spans, Resist Temperature and Corrosion
EXAIR has expanded Stainless Steel Long Super Air Knives to include a maximum length of 108"³ (2743mm) and is manufacturing all air knives 60"³ (1524mm) and longer, which used to be two pieces, in one piece construction which eases installation and saves space. The corrosion resistant design ensures seamless airflow and withstands temperatures up to 800°F (427°C). Super Air Knives produce a laminar sheet of airflow to blow off, dry or cool large surfaces up to 108"³ (2743mm) wide. The energy efficient design minimizes compressed air use by entraining 40 parts room air to one part compressed air. It is ideal for blowing corrosive chemicals off parts, drying food products and cooling hot materials such as molten glass, castings and molded parts.
3D printing doubles the strength of stainless steel
Robert F. Service for ScienceMag: Now, researchers have come up with a way to 3D print tough and flexible stainless steel, an advance that could lead to faster and cheaper ways to make everything from rocket engines to parts for nuclear reactors and oil rigs.
The Use of Laser Cutting in Sheet Metal Prototyping
Though there are a number of ways that sheet metal can be shaped and cut, few are as precise, reliable and cost effective as laser cutting. The technology involved in laser cutting is so effective that a continuation and improvement of its future capabilities is inevitable.
Data-Driven Quality Needs Quality-Driven Data
Process Data is the input for the second generation of data-driven quality technologies. The technology is particularly useful in assemblies such as control arms which combine heavy-duty stamping with resilient components that are difficult to position accurately and repeatably.

New 1 NPT Swivel Fitting Makes Precision Blow Off Easy
EXAIR's Model 9204 1 NPT Swivel Fitting makes it easy to precisely adjust the position of our award-winning air nozzles. With this 303 Stainless Steel swivel, EXAIR's powerful, efficient and quiet Super Air Nozzles can be pointed exactly where you need work to be done. A 50 degree total angle of adjustment provides the movement necessary for your nozzles to be in the best position for maximum effectiveness. The 1 MNPT x 1 FNPT swivel will work with any 1 NPT nozzle or fitting regardless if they have a male or female thread.

Do you manage demand or does demand manage you?
While variety may have been the spice of life in the past, it is simply the standard expectation of twenty-first century buyers. This shift has largely occurred in the past three decades and many businesses are still playing catch up. Here, Roger Fleury, Managing Director of enterprise resource planning (ERP) specialist Ardent Solutions, explains why it's time production planners took a demand-driven approach.
Is Google Glass Staging A Comeback?
