Interesting presentation given by Santeri Varis, Additive Manufacturing Manager at ANDRITZ, live from DIMECC Oy Annual Seminar! 🙌 Santeri emphasizes that business ecosystems, such as FAME Ecosystem, are enablers for innovation and research. And by openly sharing the learnings with others we can gain competitiveness internationally! #FAME3D #additivemanufacturing #finland

We developed a new Gap Filler Injection process for the #assembly of pouch cell battery modules! 🤓 The process of applying Gap Fillers into a pouch cell battery module, was very inefficient to-date. With this new process, we: ✅ Compensate for the significant tolerances of the pouch cells. ✅ Offer short cycle times without a need for post-cleaning. ✅ Minimize the material waste for a sustainable and cost-effective production process. This innovation will without any doubt simplify the manufacturing of the pouch cell battery modules! Have a look at the article in #DICHT! Magazine (of ISGATEC GmbH), where we elaborate on the details! Let's get in touch to talk about the latest revolutions in #emobility #Battery #pouches #Gapfiller Cheers, Frank

9x faster production with #FPP technology of Cevotec This very complex multi-material part, a horizontal tailplane fairing, can be produced 9x faster than how it is done today, which was demonstrated within a multi-party, supported R&D project. That was the main attraction on our booth at the 3rd Composite Sandwich Conference organized by ThermHex Waben GmbH and Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS. We had 2 full days to meet our partners and customers together with Dr. Florian Lenz My short reflection on the event: - It was one of the best organizations I have participated in because of the focused theme, the ideal number of participants, and the excellently planned two days. - Great Innovations are on their way, it was fulfilling to witness how light-weight materials invented first for Aerospace are making their way to a wider audience, automotive. - Thermoplastics were the main focus because of the production advantages and recyclability in the design of lightweight materials. - The history of ThermHex Waben GmbH product innovations was very interesting and a great example showing how good innovations in this field come to life, congratulations by heart for your innovative continuous PP honeycomb lines. #Composites #automation #lightweight #recycling #FPP #aerospace

Additive manufacturing (AM) and Industry 4.0 are closely linked. But how do we ensure that they put the planet first? 🌍 The pioneering PowderCleanse project offers a way to make AM greener, safer, and easier. The project, developed with Innovate UK funding, saw experts from across several disciplines working together to minimize metal powder waste in powder-bed fusion processes. The protoype implemented automated sieving with on-line analysis to ensure quality and enhance recyclability – and it worked well! ⭐️ Learn more about how we can create a more sustainable and efficient additive manufacturing future. 👉 Read our blog post here: https://bit.ly/3FfwAIo #MalvernPanalytical #PowderCleanse #AdditiveManufacturing

Today was the second day at PlastEurasia, and in all our discussions with our partners we see the similar challenges. Over the past few months, energy costs have inreased, resulting in lower margins for our customers as they struggle to pass on the increased prices. In times like these, the automation of lines plays an invaluable role! For manufacturers of film transitioning from one product to another often leads to significant waste production, leaving them unable to produce sellable products during that time. This not only results in financial losses but also puts additional pressure on margins. That's where e.g. our fully automated die adjustment PAM significantly shortens product changeovers and reduces energy costs, allowing you to produce high-quality products and improve your Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). Tomorrow is the 3rd day for exciting exchanges - just drop by! We are happy to to meet you.

🆕 In cooperation with the #FraunhoferIMWS, the company Automation Steeg und Hoffmeyer GmbH developed the system🔸F³-Compositor🔸and successfully implemented it in the polymer pilot plant center #FraunhoferPAZ. The innovative approach of the F³-Compositor combines tape depositing and joining of semi-finished products with high reproducibility and material efficiency. If #UDtapes are laid down three-dimensionally #3D in the manufacturing process, many design options are available, especially for lightweight components manufactured in small quantities. 🌐Learn more: https://bit.ly/3F78QG2 📢 The Fraunhofer IMWS will present these technologies as well as other material and component developments at the #Fakuma2023 International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing from October 17 to 21, 2023. The institute will be represented together with POLYKUM e. V. 📍 at booth B2-2108. #weknowhow #materialsinsights #lightweightcomponents #F3compositor
