Insider Online Forum: The future of Manufacturing and the Supply Chain after Lockdown
Th COVID-19 crisis is causing manufacturers to radically rethink how they operate in a world of uncertainty and reclaim control of their futures EIT RawMaterials partner, Coventry University, together with DHL will run a webinar on Tuesday, 16 June 2020, on the future of manufacturing and supply chain. Panellists will look at how manufacturing and its supply chain can not only overcome issues created by the crisis but embraces the possibilities. The main challenges that will be discussed: Can manufacturers and supply chains operate safely? Will they have to adopt radically new procedures? Can goods be moved safely along [...]
New software model to increase efficiency of equipment used in harsh environment
Harshwork develops software that will produce reliable predictions on wear Harsh conditions in mines wears out the strongest equipment, but with a good prediction of wear it is possible to design more durable components and to predict when reparation is needed, thus save time and money. […]
Breakpoint in the 3D printing industry – new additives triple durability
Three times stronger 3D printing materials with new additives The mechanical durability of 3D printing materials increases with 200 percent when added the novel 3D Strong additives shows test results from the laboratory of Riga Technical University. We are thrilled with the results and can’t wait to test our additives in real life. It’s a breakpoint in the 3D printing industry to change the use of technology from prototyping to real industrial manufacturing. The good news is that companies don’t need to change any equipment to be able to use our additives. Maryna Petrychenko, CEO at 3D Strong Currently, [...]
