The SUR3D project, coordinated by the INNOVI association with the support of Eurecat, OIMO Bioplastics, the Catalan Cork Institute Foundation (ICSuro) and the MAV Cluster, has developed a new biodegradable material from used cork stoppers. This project was chosen by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism (MINCOTUR) in the call for Innovation Clusters [...]
El centre tecnològic Eurecat participa en el projecte HEREWEAR, que està impulsant noves solucions de materials basades en els últims desenvolupaments de cel·lulosa i polièsters de base biològica, dins d’un enfocament holístic que busca impulsar un mercat de la Unió Europea per a tèxtils circulars i peces de vestir produïdes localment a partir de [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is showcasing at ITMA (International Textile Machinery) 2023, the leading trade fair for the textile industry running until 14 June in Milan, a solution harnessing photonic and Internet of Things systems coupled with artificial intelligence algorithms which predicts potential manufacturing defects before the fabric is made and warns the production [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and fund manager BeAble Capital have set up the spin-off Reinforce3D, which will bring new reinforcement technology for 3D printed parts, components and products to a market estimated to hit €31.5 billion by 2026. Reinforce3D, in which BeAble Capital is to invest up to €650,000 across several stages, delivers a new system patented [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the CARBODIN (Car Body Shells, Doors and Interiors) project which is to support building lighter and more energy-sustainable passenger trains by developing innovative modular tooling for manufacturing car bodies and carriage shells using composite materials. As part of the project “innovative and versatile moulds and tooling are to be designed and [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the Fatigue4Light (Fatigue modelling and fast testing methodologies to optimise part design and to boost lightweight materials deployment in chassis parts) project. Drawing on a €5,530,292 budget, it is to develop new tests and new computer simulation methods to better estimate the fatigue life of chassis components and select the optimal [...]
This week at the trade fair Industry From Needs to Solutions, in the framework of Barcelona Industry Week, the Eurecat technological centre (a member of Tecnio) presents an innovative 3D printing technology that allows the combination of silicone and thermoplastic filament material for the manufacture of complex and personalised items. This technology opens the door [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) has developed an innovative adaptation of the Blackbelt 3D textile printer, which is distributed in Spain by the Uniqo Custom Engineering company. This new development makes it possible to print designs onto fabric continuously, thereby achieving theoretically infinite lengths. In the words of Xavier Plantà, Eurecat’s director [...]
The 3D ISF (Incremental Sheet Forming) technology developed by the Eurecat technology centre makes it possible to manufacture complex sheet metal parts for prototypes or short runs for the automotive industry. This breakthrough removes the need for high levels of investment in costly moulds to form sheet metal using stamping or deep drawing processes. ISF [...]
At this week’s Advanced Factories trade fair, the Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) has unveiled a new, pioneering 3D printing technology that makes it possible to create bespoke anatomical models in silicone. The models can be made from monocomponents or biocomponents and are aimed at the biomedical and healthcare industries. According to Raffaele [...]
