Neste and Covestro join forces - renewable raw materials for plastics production

Neste and Covestro start a strategic cooperation in Europe to promote the use of sustainable raw materials in the production of plastics. Covestro is to be supplied with material from renewable sources, which will replace an important part of the fossil raw materials previously used for the production of polycarbonates. The high-performance plastic is used, for example, in car headlamps, LED lights, electronic and medical equipment and automotive glazing.

3D Printing Technology Helps Cincinnati Zoo’s Meerkats Mimic Wild Behaviors

Engineering meets zoology in a novel collaboration between the Zoo and GE Additive

Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is home to 2,000 animals, including world-famous hippo Fiona, and is committed to providing each one with excellent care. Thanks to a novel partnership with GE Additive, known for pushing the boundaries of industrial 3D printing (often referred to additive manufacturing), some of the animals are getting meals from a fabricated feeder that encourages natural foraging behaviors.

Leading ABS producer ELIX Polymers is collaborating with a large group of companies within ClusterMAV, the Advanced Materials Cluster of Catalonia, Spain, in the fight against COVID-19. The partners are working in collaboration with the National Federation of Innovative Business Groups and Clusters (FENAEIC), which focuses on promoting collaboration between federations, clusters and their partners, within the European Cluster collaboration platform.

HENSOLDT and Nano Dimension Achieve Breakthrough in Electronics 3D Printing

New multi-layer PCB boosts electronics rapid prototyping

Sensor solutions provider HENSOLDT together with the leading Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME)/Printed Electronics (PE) provider, Nano Dimension, has achieved a major breakthrough on its way to utilizing 3D printing in the development process of high-performance electronics components. Utilizing a newly developed dielectric polymer ink and conductive ink from Nano Dimension, HENSOLDT succeeded in assembling the world-wide first 10-layer printed circuit board (PCB) which carries high-performance electronic structures soldered to both outer sides. Until now, 3D printed boards could not bear the soldering process necessary for two sided population of components.
