Is it possible to create materials that have bactericidal and virucidal surfaces with high levels of durability and effectiveness? And could these sanitising surfaces be used to treat the air in enclosed spaces? Behind these questions is technological institute AIDIMME who worked with Industrias Alegre on a project called FILTAIR to study contact biocides that could be incorporated into additive manufacturing surfaces.
It is obvious to anyone that electric cars do not cause emissions and are therefore looked upon favourably by members of the public who are concerned about the future of the planet. However, when talking about carbon footprint, we have to take account of all the impacts: the impact from their use, as well as that generated by making and recycling batteries. This is why Industrias Alegre decided to take part in this project, which is aimed at improving the performance of batteries for electric cars and minimising their impact.
At Industrias Alegre, we know that we need to go beyond the month of March and beyond gestures. We know that having women in positions of responsibility is a matter of corporate profitability - which is why you find so many women in our workforce.
As an engineer and additive manufacturing expert, our colleague Víctor Vaccaro was the obvious choice for receiving training from HP when we decided to add HP Multi Jet Fusion technology to our services catalogue. Nearly 18 months have passed since that date. During this time, he has analysed data and lab tests, has performed tests and made a few mistakes before working on real projects with real satisfied clients. We talk to him today to learn about the current state of additive manufacturing:
We were the first Spanish firm and one of the few European companies that committed to this technology as soon as HP put it on the market, a bit more than one year ago. The learning curve has been tough. However, today our 3D division is fully operative: increasingly more companies are reaping the advantages of moving from an idea to the real physical part in record time.
When our client asked us to industrialise this part and we studied its special morphology, we immediately understood that we were going to have a problem removing the robot from its mould: it could easily be damaged. However, we created a specific 3D piece and obtained a fast, efficient and really simple solution. This is the story.
