Gone are the days when we knew for certain that everyone was viewing the web on a desktop or laptop computer so websites were designed and developed for that standard experience. Increasingly, people are viewing the web on a variety of devices – tablets, smart phones and other mobile devices.
The impact of WannaCry was not only devastating on an international scale but brought the NHS to a virtual standstill. The global ransomware attack reportedly cost the NHS an estimated £92 million with as many as 19,000 appointments being cancelled as a result. Considering the impact, it was surprising to find that upon closer inspection the malware itself was relatively simplistic in nature
The traditional manufacturing industry paradigm that we are in today has its roots in various techniques and methods that are proven and have been in use for quite some time. With this though, there come some pros and cons. We are able to create items quickly and efficiently. These methods may not be the best though in terms of sustainability with products.
As more and more manufacturers look to replace traditional mass manufacturing processes with 3D printing, they are striving to create new, higher quality printing materials that overcome problems with deformation, have superior surface quality, and provide better mechanical properties. From a commercial perspective, 3D printing is very appealing, especially in applications where only relatively small …
These and many other fascinating insights are from Sculpteo’s 5th edition of their popular study, The State of 3D Printing (29 pp., PDF, opt-in). The study’s methodology is based on interviews with 1,300 respondents coming from Europe (64%), United States (16.6 %) and Asia (20.2%), which is the fastest growing region internationally today as measured …
Scientists have created a system that can 3D print a bathroom — complete with concealed drains and piping — in less than a day. The interior of the unit includes a sink, mirror, shower, toilet bowl, ceramic tiled walls and flooring. After printing, the bathroom is furnished with toilet fittings to become a pre-fabricated unit, …
British high streets will receive a boost with a new digital skills programme run by Google.
Increasing numbers of customers are turning to the Internet to find distributors, according to a new survey of engineers, technical buyers, scientific professionals and other members of the industrial sector. These views were discovered through a recent survey by GlobalSpec (www.globalspec.com), the leading specialized search engine and information service, and e-publishing company for the engineering, industrial and technical communities. The purpose of the survey was to understand the buying behavior of these professionals as it relates to working with distributors.
Social media and web presence are important for our journal, authors, readers and the spinal cord injury community. They help ensure that our papers are widely read: a major goal for all researchers and any journal. A widely read paper is more likely to change clinical practice, be well cited and encourage further research in …
Metal 3D printing is becoming invaluable for many manufacturers today worldwide, and the research regarding processes and materials continues as researchers from both Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology and Nanyang Technological University explore metal powders being used in electron beam melting (EBM) technology today in ‘Additively manufactured CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy via pre-alloyed powder.’ Most studies …
