No material is perfect, but attapulgite has many useful properties that manufacturers may not be aware of. Companies should pay greater attention to these benefits if they hope to optimize their workflows, product lineups and facilities.
BEYOND THE SURFACE: THE POWER OF DENSITY DETERMINATION IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
In this article, we will delve deep into the significance of density determination in AM, exploring how it assesses the quality of metal 3D printed parts and the impact it has on various industries.
Amazing Color Variety
Plastic can be found everywhere in our world, and injection molding is the universal, cost-effective production method used to form it into almost any shape: The raw material, plastic granulate, is heated until it is flowable and is then injected into a mold.
How Effective Recycling Practices Can Impact the Redistribution of Global Resources and Wealth
The next leap forward in sustainability is going to be reclaiming the resources contained within the garbage and providing feedstock back into the manufacturing process.
Smart Plastic Materials for Flexible Electronics Could Be a Game Changer
Researchers have worked over the last few decades to develop the next generation of electronics. The ultimate goal is to make components flexible and conformable, allowing new types to hit the market.
Thermoset vs Thermoplastic: Definition, Processes, and Differences
This article gives a detailed thermoset vs thermoplastic comparison. Although there are many similarities between thermoplastic and thermoset, some differences are also present.
New Solutions for Materials Manufacturing Reduce Environmental Impact in Construction
While zero-emissions equipment and waste reduction strategies are crucial, sustainability is complex, involving far more factors than construction work itself. The manufacturers that produce building materials must also improve for the industry to become truly sustainable.

While the refined copper market had a 142,000-ton surplus in 2020, experts predict that to fall to a 219,000-ton deficit by 2025. This shortage has already started to take effect and will have increasingly severe consequences as it continues.
Powering Additive Manufacturing with an Environmental and Social Impact Commitment
Structured ESG and strategic, measurable sustainability programs are unlocking the deep value behind "doing well (profitability) by doing good (sustainability)."
Rethinking material usage - How 3D printing enables dematerialization
3D printing makes it possible to introduce different materials into production that offer a lower embodied energy. In many applications, polymer or composite materials can offer the same strength and durability as metals.
How to Use Supports
Most entry-level 3D printers work by extruding material, and while this has lots of cost and safety advantages, it does come with some limitations. Creating a part with extreme overhangs, arches, or angles can be a challenge. Supports make printing these geometries possible.
American Steel
Faced with tight quarters on a gearbox application, Texas-based machine builder turns to NORD DRIVESYSTEMS for help.
Massachusetts Metalcaster Established Over a Century Ago Leaps Forward with 3D Mold Printing
A growing number of companies within the sand casting industry are adopting 3D sand printing to produce high quality parts without tooling. The technology to 3D print molds without changing the actual sand casting process itself is a major advancement for the industry.
Metal Additive Manufacturing: The Cheaper the Better, asks IDTechEx

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.
