SABIC y Local Motors conducen un estudio de viabilidad del reciclaje de los sobrantes del proceso de impresión 3D
Con el deseo de mejorar la circularidad de la fabricación aditiva de gran formato (LFAM), SABIC, líder mundial del sector químico, y Local Motors, fabricante de vehículos de próxima generación, han llevado a cabo un estudio conjunto sobre la viabilidad del reciclaje de piezas termoplásticas sobrantes y rebabas del proceso de impresión 3D. El estudio exploraba alternativas más sostenibles al vertedero para los componentes impresos más grandes, en previsión de la adopción cada vez mayor de la LFAM. Se analizaba la imprimibilidad y las propiedades mecánicas del compuesto reforzado LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ AM de SABIC, utilizado por Local Motors, tras ser impreso, recuperado, triturado y reprocesado en forma de pellets. El estudio ha constatado que el material procedente de residuos y componentes de postproducción tiene potencial para ser reutilizado en LFAM y otros procesos, como el moldeo por inyección o la extrusión, en cantidades de hasta el cien por cien. Estos resultados pueden ayudar a identificar un camino viable hacia la circularidad y hacia la extensión del ciclo de vida de los materiales utilizados en la industria de la LFAM.

Compliant analysis without helium: Malvern Panalytical launches even smarter Epsilon 1
Malvern Panalytical today officially launches the Epsilon 1. The system is pre-calibrated in the factory and is an out-of-the-box solution for the analysis of low sulphur content in fuels. The Epsilon 1 is the first analytical solution for this purpose without the need for helium, which makes the Epsilon 1 easy to operate with extreme low costs per analysis. It is the ideal analytical solution to comply to the ISO13032 standard and similar test methods.
