SABIC e Local Motors conducono uno studio di fattibilità sul riciclaggio di pezzi termoplastici di scarto e trucioli dal processo di stampa 3D
Al fine di migliorare il livello di circolarità nell’Additive Manufacturing di grande formato (LFAM), SABIC, leader globale nel settore chimico, e Local Motors, un produttore di veicoli di nuova generazione, hanno completato uno studio congiunto sulla fattibilità del riciclaggio di pezzi termoplastici di scarto e di trucioli dal processo di stampa 3D. Lo studio ha esplorato alternative più sostenibili rispetto all'invio in discarica di pezzi stampati di grandi dimensioni, in previsione di una più ampia adozione dell'LFAM. Lo studio ha riguardato l'analisi della stampabilità e delle proprietà meccaniche del compound rinforzato AM LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ di SABIC, usato da Local Motors, dopo essere stato stampato, recuperato, macinato e rilavorato in forma di pellet. Lo studio ha determinato che il materiale proveniente da pezzi e scarti di post-produzione può essere potenzialmente riutilizzato in LFAM o in altri processi, come lo stampaggio a iniezione o l'estrusione, in quantità fino al 100%. Questi elementi possono aiutare a identificare un percorso fattibile verso la circolarità e un ciclo di vita esteso per i materiali usati dal settore 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.
