Jane: You count them? Billy: We count everything.   In UV, we also need to count or measure everything because, as Lord Kelvin said, “If you cannot measure it, you … [Read more...] about Count Everything: What Gets Measured, Gets Improved

Editor’s Note: Part 1, which appeared in Quarter 3 UV+EB Technology, discussed how EB and UV were practical and sustainable solutions for the coil coating industry. Part 2, which appeared in Quarter 4 UV+EB Technology, hosted a discussion on the value of savings related to the reduction in energy consumption and other factors, as well as the reduction in safety hazards for the … [Read more...] about EB and UV for Coil Coating: Solutions, Challenges and Managing the Transition, Part 3

The UV additive manufacturing techniques discussed in this column have focused on approaches in which the part is printed layer by layer in series. 1 The current column reviews technical approaches to volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM, also referred to as Deep Vat Printing, or DVP), a general class of additive techniques in which the part is freely suspended within the … [Read more...] about Volumetric Additive Manufacturing

By Liz Stevens, writer, UV+EB Technology The medical and biomedical fields increasingly are benefiting from the advanced technologies made possible by UV-cured 3D printing. Additive-manufactured bolus for use during cancer treatment and 3D-printed dental aligners are some fairly recent developments in this area. Maddiy Segal, a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering & … [Read more...] about Biodegradable, Solvent-Free Resin for Medical/Biomedical UV-based Additive Manufacturing
