A new form of lightweight, impact-resistant plastic-based 'honeycomb' structures which can sense when they have been damaged could find use in new forms of 'smart' prosthetics and medical implants, ...
In this interview, AZoM talks to Lyndon Newman, Lead Engineer for Rail at TRB Lightweight Structures, about the use of TRB's composites in the Rail industry. Could you give us an overview of TRB ...
A mold-free additive process prints rigid and flexible materials onto fabric, cutting time and cost for lightweight, ...
TRB Lightweight Structures has successfully gained AS9100 (BS EN 9100) aerospace accreditation, adding to the IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) and ISO 9001 certifications already in ...
Materials scientists lead a project to turn strong, light and compressible schwarzites from theory to reality with three-dimensional printers. The resulting materials share their properties from the ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — What do bones and 3D-printed buildings have in common? They both have columns and beams on the inside that determine how long they last. Now, the discovery of how a “beam” in ...
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved funding for a Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) that will be tasked with developing “intelligent production technologies for lightweight plastic ...
The effect of the printing parameters on the final core-shell architecture was decided using a simple analytical heat-transfer model. The authors used optical microscopy and X-ray scattering ...
With the completion of the project TOAST (ThermOplast Additive Manufacturing STrukturen), Premium AEROTEC present the impressive potential which a modern hybrid design of carbon fibre reinforced ...
