3D printing in space: What I learnt from my astronaut mission

In December 2019, I embarked on a simulated astronaut mission in Hawai’i. The EMMIHS-II mission is a collaboration between the European Space Agency (ESA)-funded Euro Moon Mars Initiative (EMM), the International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG) and the International Moon Base Alliance (IMA).

Automotive in the additive manufacturing lane

Automotive in the additive manufacturing lane

The automotive industry is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of additive manufacturing (AM). Way back in 2018, BMW was already producing over 200,000 3D-printed car parts a year (a leap of 40% compared to the previous year). In tooling, AM is even more prevalent.

Pressure-controlled liquid handling systems: A simple & cost-effective solution

Infectious diseases are an ever-present threat to our society – as evidenced by the current coronavirus outbreak. Today’s laboratories are increasingly reliant on automated liquid handling systems rapidly to develop and produce new vaccines.

Faster to a finished machine

Faster to a finished machine

Manufacturing OEMs are faced with the challenge of building increasingly customised, specialised machines – and getting them up and running as fast as possible. With no time to spend wrapped up in testing, how can they get their machines to market faster? The answer: using simulation and digital twin technology.
