‘Component Quality’

A Manufacturingtalk guide

Start with the news release Modelmaker expands 3D printing with Objet Alaris30 from Objet Geometries, which we summarised at the time by saying "Crawley Creatures, a specialist in animatronics, robotics, prosthetics and model making, has installed an Objet Alaris30 3D printer from Object Geometries to expand its prototyping capacity.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Sigma 20 lathe machines scaled model racecar parts from Tornos Technologies: "Titanium Racing has installed a Tornos Sigma 20 CNC automatic sliding headstock lathe, which it says is leading to growing orders for its range of scaled parts for model racing cars.".
 
In March 2010, we covered the news from Loma Systems - take a look at Data and report capture systems for food companies which says: "Loma Systems is now offering an accurate and flexible data capture system and an Ethernet report capture system for food manufacturers.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Fluke, 434/PWR analyser uncovers energy waste, as well as Floyd to present tooling for sliding-head machines from Floyd Automatic Tooling, and Paragon software helps Linde optimise gas routing from Paragon Software.
