In this episode we talk about how researchers at EPFL have developed a new method of 3D printing bone-like composites using bacteria-infused ink. The process involves the use of hydrogel as a printing medium that provides a scaffold for bacterial growth, which produces calcium carbonate crystals that mimic the properties of bone.

Electron beam evaporation is a physical vapor deposition process capable of applying nano-scale thin films to substrates.
The beauty of additive manufacturing is in the flexibility these technologies provide in terms of scale, shape, and materials. Building know-how on software has allowed Caracol to leverage these skills and adapt them to working with robotics for LFAM on different processes - from its proprietary thermoplastic/composite pellet extrusion Heron AM to introducing Metal with WAAM.
This article explains the IPC-A-610 standard for electronic assemblies, including solder joints, inspection criteria, product classes, and quality requirements for reliable PCB manufacturing and high-performance electronics.
