Lifesaving medical equipment, from ventilators and defibrillators to auto-chemistry analyzers, is essential in overcoming COVID-19. To meet urgent requests from global customers that manufacture these products, SABIC has taken extraordinary steps to expedite order fulfillment for its specialty thermoplastic resins. As an example, the company rapidly supplied significant quantities of thermoplastics to two Chinese medical device manufacturers, Mindray and DIRUI. Despite shutdowns and exponential increase in demand, SABIC has worked to ensure fast and steady supply of desperately needed medical equipment to hospitals on the front lines.

KRAIBURG TPE is taking up the trends and challenges involved in mobility becoming increasingly connected, electrified and automated, with two material series that focus particularly on the increasing requirements of automotive interior components. The THERMOLAST® K compounds in the FG/SF and VS/AD/HM series meet the highest quality standards with regard to durability, robustness and scratch resistance of soft-touch surfaces for automotive interior applications. A new compound for cost-conscious implementation of shelf mats complements the portfolio.

Royal DSM, a global science-based company in Nutrition, Health and Sustainable Living, today announced the release of Arnilene® AM6002 (P), an expansion of the company’s powder portfolio for additive manufacturing. The polypropylene material is ideal for 3D printing a wide range of applications across multiple industries.

The new version of the 3D printing tool 4D_Additive makes it possible to process exact B-REP CAD data of all common native and standard formats for the preparation of 3D printing data. With the new interface for writing out STEP data, the software manufacturer CoreTechnologie presents another market innovation.

Air transport, which has existed for more than 100 years, is responsible for 3% of global CO2 emissions. Although aircraft are infinitely more efficient (80%) than in the 1960s, the United Nations' Sustainable Development targets call for a reduction in emissions by half by 2050, a figure that airlines have accepted and are even seeking to improve. In fact, the European Climate Act aims to achieve a carbon-neutral European Union - zero net emissions of greenhouse gases - by that date. And experts are confident that aircraft will be 100% electric in 20 years.

The "big coming out" was not planned like that, from one minute to the next, literally like "thrown into the water". But the current developments around the SARS-CoV-2 virus, whose effects cause the disease COVID-19, have already changed a lot. Everyone was forewarned about this pandemic, prepared the most - but the effects are exceeding all plans. Since the virus also attacks the respiratory tract and lungs, many have to be placed not only in quarantine, but the more serious cases also have to be hospitalized - and mostly in intensive care units. These have to be removed at short notice and expanded with medical equipment. Devices, however, which are usually not directly available or available. Here, additive manufacturing came to the rescue suddenly and quite unexpectedly for many. However, additive manufacturing has so far passed the free swimmer or even the speed swimmer and other tests well. By Sabine Slaughter.

Announced at this year's 3DEXPERIENCE World, the new Dassault Systèmes offering is now available: 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS seamlessly integrates the SOLIDWORKS desktop software into the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to take full advantage of a cloud-based product development environment. These include seamless collaboration, complete product lifecycle management (PLM) functionality, a secure infrastructure and scalable computing power for complex simulation tasks.
