And in AM (Additive Manufacturing) news. Nano Dimension acquires Desktop Metal (NANOD + DM) In related news, Shapeways a 3D printing services company files for bankruptcy. Here is a summary of the recent events generated by a LLM: It's been a busy week in the Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry, with several significant developments taking place. Here are some of the highlights: - McLaren has announced a partnership with Divergent to use Additive Manufacturing for producing chassis components in their next-generation supercars. - A new report titled "State of Chinese Additive Manufacturing: Market Opportunity Brief" has been released, analyzing the current state and future prospects of the AM industry in China. - 3D Systems and Precision Resource have announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing metal Additive Manufacturing applications in high-criticality markets. Additionally, there have been some notable mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic moves in the AM space recently, such as Nano Dimensions acquiring Desktop Metal and Shapeways filing for bankruptcy. These changes reflect the dynamic and competitive nature of the AM industry, as companies seek to stay ahead of the curve and capitalize on new opportunities. Our take at Numorpho Cybernetic Systems (NUMO): When a disruptive technology eventually becomes mainstream, it leads to a lot of buyouts from larger companies that include that facet into their portfolio of offerings, mergers take place or companies without the right vision or financial backing simply fold. This happened with internet search companies, content management providers, ecommerce and marketing tools providers, and Wanna-Be's in the blockchain space. Additive Manufacturing is the newest in such graduations and although there have been rumblings for the past year and a half, it has finally happened. As we look ahead, it will be interesting to see how these shifts impact the overall landscape of AM. Will this consolidation lead to fewer players with more power, or will new startups emerge to challenge the status quo? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the AM industry is in for some exciting changes. #additivemanufacturing #am #3dprinting

****XPS Metrology - Best C (1s) BE (eV) ??? The hydrocarbon moiety part of the adventitious carbon layer that exists on nearly all materials exposed to normal air or lab air is very often used to correct for charging that occurs when we analyze insulators, semiconductors, and materials insulated from the stage. Some researchers will charge reference pure metals or alloys by using the C (1s) BE of the hydrocarbon moiety as received and maybe after ion etching. Various studies on this type of carbon have been published in the past. One study measured the hydrocarbon moiety found on "noble" metals: Cu, Au, Pt, Rh, Ru but they ignored all of the other pure metals effectively biasing the results. Charge Referencing using the C (1s) BE of adventitious hydrocarbon moiety is still today an uncertain and unreliable method to correct the BEs measured from insulating materials. The XPS Research Institute has leased a used XPS to study this problem and to develop a method that can be used to properly and correctly charge reference insulators. This leased system is also being used to collect complete data-sets of XPS spectra from "commonplace" chemicals to add to the on-line website: https://xpsdatabase.net.

•Monolayer and multilayer Ti-doped DLC coatings were successfully deposited by DC magnetron sputtering. •Multilayer structure was achieved by controlling substrate holder rotational speed. •All the Ti-doped DLC coatings had higher values of adhesion than pure DLC. •Multilayer Ti-DLC coatings showed higher hardness and elastic modulus than monolayer coatings. •The period of the layers, chemical composition, and residual stresses affected the performance of the coatings. https://lnkd.in/e_WJd6xJ https://semicore.com

Why is it so hard to get funding for bioprinting, and why has the media not fully embraced it? Joris Peels explains that these companies need to adopt strategies which will distinguish them from others in the field, and shares "five modes of operation that could potentially lead to success."

Well-suited for opto-electronics. ⭐ Live demonstrations at OFC 2024 with our specialty thermoplastics helped designers and specifiers of optical components understand why our transparent, high-heat EXTEM™ RH resins are a great option for co-packaged (CPO) and onboard optics. One demo showed beam-expanding free-form lens arrays micro-molded from EXTEM RH resin that were packaged on the PIC and the fiber array, resulting in very high coupling efficiency. ⭐ This was the first thermoplastic resin setup in a single-mode CPO device. Visitors took notice. Attendees also loved that EXTEM RH resin can withstand reflow soldering, so the packaging of optics and all other board components can be done in one step. Simple! ❗ 💡 SABIC’s materials can help drive adoption of new opto-electronics designs, which are becoming critical for improving data center bandwidth capacity and energy efficiency. ❓ Did you know that these demonstrators were developed by SABIC’s Global Application Technology team, who can help you with design, processing and optical performance measurement. 📞 Contact our team today. Connect with them via their profiles in the comments. #plastics #SABIC #ChemistryThatMatters #chemicalindustry #SABICSpecialties #optoelectronics #photonics #optics
