GF Machining Solutions’ Laser 4000 5Ax machine operates around a workpiece: parts remain stationary on the shop floor as the machine’s axes move around it, imparting a desired texturing on any face of ...

Blum-Novotest recently opened its new Competence Center in Erlanger, Kentucky. Inside, the company plans to run a training and technology hub for the U.S. market — especially supporting the growth of ...

Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel surfaces ...

A novel manufacturing strategy of 7-axis synchronization on-the-fly laser surface texturing, proposed by Harbin Institute of Technology researchers, enables ...

Composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are attractive to engineers in several manufacturing sectors, thanks to the combination of high stiffness, light weight and fatigue ...

A recent study has examined the effects of laser surface texturing (LST) on pre-sintered zirconia using a surface transition machine (STM). Researchers compared the impact of LST on zirconia’s surface ...

The new surface texturing strategy is designed to help improve the rate at which natural tissue integrates with prosthetic implant surfaces, preventing infection ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Bacterial pathogens can live on surfaces for days. What if frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs could instantly kill them off? Purdue University engineers have created ...

Textured surfaces are found in everyday products, from steel body panels and bearings to book covers and quilted toilet paper. Although a number of processes can be used to achieve the desired surface ...
