As the University Technology Exposure Program 2022 enters its final month, we continue to receive submissions spanning different domains of technology. Submissions published in June included articles related to healthcare, electric vehicles, data analytics, smart cities, and smart manufacturing.
After decades of falling prices, robots are far more affordable than ever. Unfortunately, automation is still too expensive for most manufacturers and many applications.
The study is about the transformation of the manual assembly process of medical test kits by integrating the learning factory and digital twin. Lean manufacturing principles and lean thinking are introduced to revamp value-added activities; reduce waste and level-load human utilization.
Polyjet is a 3D printing technology that offers great accuracy and uniquely allows you to alter the part’s material properties in different places on the build. For the right part or prototype Polyjet is a great option, but understanding the capabilities and limitations is key.
This video will tackle the tricky topic of cooling rates in injection moulded parts. Looking in detail at important considerations when designing your part such as; avoiding narrow gaps leading to higher pressure, temperature uniformity, higher tolerances, multiple gates and upping cooling rates.

Have you considered the machining requirements for part when you are designing the CNC machining parts? On the premise of meeting the function, cosmetic appearance and reliability of products, the design of CNC parts should be easy for manufacturing and cost-efficient.
The sharp corners should be avoided in the plastic parts, as it can impede from plastic melt flow, causing flaws on parts. Meanwhile, stress concentration can be easily generated in the sharp corners and further reduces the strength of parts. Therefore, adding radii in sharp corners is suggested.
Creaform’s HandySCAN 3D, a portable 3D scanner, quickly solved the problem of measuring the clamping gap, by quickly capturing the 3D data of the entire set of molds.
