From old tires to new car parts: Neste, Borealis and Covestro aim at closing the loop for automotive industry
Neste, Borealis and Covestro have signed a project agreement to enable the recycling of discarded tires into high-quality plastics for automotive applications. The collaboration aims at driving circularity in plastics value chains and the automotive industry. When no longer fit for use, tires are liquefied by means of chemical recycling and then processed into base chemicals and further into polycarbonates of high purity. These can then be used in various automotive applications, from parts of headlamps to radiator grilles.
HASCO’s product diversity supports a variety of demoulding processes
The geometry of a planned injection-moulded component defines the complexity and the amount of work involved in designing and producing the moulding tool. For this reason, it is advisable, back at the design phase, to look closely at the practicability of the moulding tool and the complexity of the demoulding process. As a leading manufacturer of highquality modular standardised mould units and customised hot runner systems, HASCO offers a variety of solutions specifically for the field of multi-stage demoulding.
Five reasons why universities are investing in DLP 3D printers
Digital light processing machines produce high-quality results faster than many other plastic 3D printing technologies and the range of materials available allow a variety of resins to be processed and easily swapped, making DLP ideal for research settings and makerspace environments alike. The Envision One offers academic institutions an approachable opportunity to offer students hands-on experience with design and manufacturing concepts as well as the up- and downstream implications for innovation, product development, and supply chains.
Hexagon’s innovative scanner wins Red Dot Design Award for outstanding product design
This year, Hexagon’s pioneering SmartScan VR800 structured light scanner has been awarded the prize in the Product Design category reflecting the quality of the user experience, ergonomics and the consistent and attractive application of Hexagon’s design language. The function was equally important – as the manufacturing industry's first optical 3D scanner featuring a motorised zoom lens, the SmartScan VR800 fundamentally changes the user experience so they can obtain high-resolution scans of inspected parts in a matter of seconds.
