Manufacturing in a (greener) material world
Industry, society and Earth itself is facing a climate emergency. As countries around the world scramble to adopt cleaner sources of energy and shrink their carbon footprints, industry is being urged to decarbonise manufacturing processes. It might seem like a task of Herculean proportions but, here, Samir Jaber, technical writer at materials and suppliers database Matmatch, explains five approaches manufacturers can take to reduce carbon emissions.
A prolific confinement … for Rhino 3D plug-ins
The period of home confinement has been a period of intense activity for the developers of Datakit, French specialist in data transfer between CAD systems. Around Rhino 3D, no less than 4 plug-ins support new formats, while textures are now supported in the JT and CATIA V5 file import plug-ins, as well as in the export to 3DPDF and FBX.
The role of PGMs in modern applications
The six transitional elements that make up the Platinum group metals (PGMs) are used in, or have played a key role in the production of, one-quarter of all manufactured goods.
The landscape, and the applications of these materials are explained in this article by Ben Smye, head of growth at materials search engine, MatMatch.
Reconsidering Composite Vents for Explosion Protection
More modern single sheet, compound dome alternatives provide greater stability, reliability of explosion venting
Domestic Supplies of Polyester Woven Webbings Takes on New Urgency in the Post-COVID Era
The polyester woven webbing market experienced serious short-term disruption from the closing of the last United States manufacturing plants that could supply yarn complying with the Berry Amendment. After some new domestic yarn manufacturers entered the market, some manufacturers, including Bally Ribbon Mills, stepped up to produce 100 percent Berry-compliant polyester webbing for critical safety applications. The material, used for seat belts, tie-downs, retractors, and medical supplies, is of higher quality, meets relevant specifications, and can be engineered to meet specific customer requirements. What's more, positive engineering and manufacturing changes made to adapt to the COVID-19 emergency hold great promise in streamlining and improving future polyester webbing projects.
