Tungsten-Free Titanium Powder PyroGenesis now offers Tungsten-free powder, which is highly sought after by the aerospace and medical industries.   PyroGenesis Canada now offer Tungsten free metal powders to the Additive Manufacturing industry. Tungsten-free powder is highly sought after by the aerospace and medical industries. The impact of Tungsten inclusions in a final part can have serious consequences and can cause significant failures. Because Tungsten has a higher melting point than Titanium, it does not melt during the AM printing process. As a result, Tungsten inclusions can become preferred sites for crack initiation. PyroGenesis is able to screen for any forms of...

Large volume high-temperature 3D printer AON-M2 offers an 18 x 18 x 25inch build envelope to work within, allowing you to print bigger, or run batch jobs of multiple parts at once. The AON-M2 is a large volume high-temperature Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer designed to print PEEK, Ultem, and other aerospace grade thermoplastics including carbon fiber filled variants. The AON-M2 offers an 18 x 18 x 25inch build envelope to work within, allowing you to print bigger, or run batch jobs of multiple parts at once. The system includes a 120ºC chamber temperature for printing with advanced materials, which is crucial for first...

the next generation of Additive Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing (AM) has come a long way since its early years in rapid prototyping and, later, as a means for creating end-use parts. The learnings gained over decades of the technology’s evolution, coupled with ongoing efforts by an increasing number of scientific researchers have driven AM to become a manufacturing platform fit for the 21st century. AM is beginning to transition beyond simply creating metal, ceramic or polymer ‘bits’ for industry and we are now looking at the bigger picture beyond these single-material components. Co-deposition of both structural and functional materials is now...

Autodesk is modernising traditional processes Small Heath has seen some changes over the decades. Its location on the main road linking Coventry and Birmingham made it a key site for industry; and until the early 1970s it was the home of BSA, churning out at various times rifles, handguns, bicycles, motorbikes, cars and taxis. Television viewers will know it as the home base of the fearsome Peaky Blinders gang, whose non-illegal interests include car building and the metals trade, and a place where foundries belch smoke and flames. With changing times come changing fortunes, and much of the old BSA...

Why manufacturers must rise to the cyber-security challenge By Prof Raj Roy The defence secretary’s recent warnings of increased cyber-warfare from nation states and other actors, determined to threaten the UK’s infrastructure, must be a wake-up call to the engineering profession. As we rightly reap the benefits of advanced technological interconnectivity and the rise of Industry 4.0, we must also be vigilant to the dangers that we face now and in the future. Cybersecurity can no longer be an optional extra for engineers; it must be a core competence of the profession. When you think of warfare, what do you...
