BOFA International has developed a process of fume extraction to make the exchange of filters in metal additive manufacturing processes safer, faster and better for productivity.

Ceramic 3D printing is an emerging segment within the 3D printing industry that began its commercial journey in the past 10 years, making it a relative newcomer compared with polymer and metal 3D printing. However, increasing entrants into the field in the past few years, from major ceramics companies to small 3D printing startups, illustrates that interest in ceramic additive manufacturing is picking up.

Everyone has the potential to contribute to innovation. From ideas that change the world, or disrupt the status quo, to niche solutions that only impact a small number of people at a certain time, human beings are constantly coming up with ideas and solutions that advance the world around us in one way or another. Alejandro Turrell, CEO at LastBasic explains.

From medical visors to components for spacecraft, 3D printing is transforming our understanding of how things are made.

CalcuQuote was started with the mission of creating a fast, accurate and efficient quoting process for the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry. The primary problem to solve for a long time was sourcing components on the Bill of Material (BOM). Thanks to the work of industry leaders, it is now easier than ever to quickly source the components on your BOM. API-based transactions, adopted by the industry’s largest suppliers,...

Stratasys has announced its commitment to lead 3D printing with an ESG-focused offering, establishing its ‘Stratasys Sustainability’ function and appointing Rosa Coblens as Vice President of Sustainability. Stratasys said a commitment to a circular economy, climate action, and social impact is paramount to building on its 30+ years of leadership in polymer 3D printing.

CQ4300 paste flux from Chip Quik is available in 2 oz (50 g) flat jars and is designed for wire and part dipping.

IDTechEx have recently launched 'Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ECAs) 2022-2032', a market research report detailing the technology of ECAs, a form of conductive joining technology. Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ECAs) are a growing competitor to lead-free solders and silver sintering technologies, and currently see use in several electronics applications, such as automotive electronics, consumer electronics, and display applications.

Electronic products are more than just printed circuit boards (PCBs). PCB designers create the boards (components, copper traces, silkscreens) in the context of a specific device. They have to closely collaborate with the mechanical engineers who define the shape of boards and their enclosures, including mounting holes and the placement of critical components, to have the confidence that everything will fit exactly as planned when it goes to manu...

There is something truly satisfying about achieving the perfect solder joint. However, what exactly does the perfect solder joint even look like? In this month’s edition of Hakko Tech Tips, we will touch on how to create the perfect solder joint as well as exploring various aspects of soldering, it’s different uses, how best to fix a bad solder joint, metals that can and can’t be soldered as well as differences between soldering...
