A novel stretchable film has been developed for soft & stretchable circuit / electronic solutions, outperforming existing films like TPU. Here you can learn about case studies showcasing its potential in pliable PCBs, stretchable hybrid PCBs, and truly stretchable electronics.
Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) is a powerful and versatile technique that has been widely adopted in various industries including semiconductor manufacturing, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and nanotechnology.
While industries like aerospace and automotive have been using additive manufacturing technologies for many years, the marine sector has recently picked up the pace of adoption thanks to the benefits provided by Large Format Additive Manufacturing. Companies like yacht and ship-builders are quickly speeding up the introduction of large parts manufactured with technologies like Caracol's Heron AM.
What is 3D printing? This article goes over the basics of 3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, covering its engineering principles and applications.

From Functional Prototypes to Complex, Low-Volume Parts.
Nylon parts are used widely, but when standard nylon is not tough enough, glass filled nylon is a good candidate. This polyamide engineering plastic offers higher strength, stiffness and heat resistance by adding powdered glass to nylon resin or compounding nylon with glass fibres.
MJF 3D printing is a polymer powder-bed fusion process engineered for high throughput and mechanical consistency. Unlike legacy methods, it delivers functional, end-use parts with near-isotropic properties, making it a highly viable alternative to injection molding for low-to-mid volume production.
When you are manufacturing components for mining, power stations, and heavy industry, getting the dimensions right is only part of the job. The bigger question is whether a new component will actually fit where it needs to go.
