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 [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) and the companies TRC (Thermal Recycling Composites) and MENZOLIT have taken home the prize for “Best Example of Successful Collaboration in the Circular Economy” at this year’s ChemPlast Awards. The accolade was given in recognition of their work in recycling carbon fibres from discarded composites and using [...]
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 [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) has developed a new technology known as Incremental Sheet Forming (3D ISF), which makes it possible to manufacture complex parts from sheet metal for prototypes or short runs using incremental, numerically controlled deformations. It is an ideal technological approach for the automotive, aviation and rail industries. “This [...]
The company NovaCentrix and the Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) have unveiled a printed keyboard with circuitry and hybridized LEDs that make it possible to control audio and video playlists using an electronic device. The innovation was presented at the Graphispag trade fair, which is taking place in Barcelona until 29 March. The [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) coordinates the European project Assets4Rail, which will test the use of drones to monitor the condition of rail infrastructure, such as bridges and tunnels, over the next three years. The aim of the project is to enable the detection of potential flaws while improving safety. In the [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, a member of Tecnio, will use the occasion of this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) to unveil a new technology based on printed electronics. This innovation will pave the way for the manufacture of hitherto unimagined intelligent objects that can be connected to the Internet. One such example is the wine [...]
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2018 A new smart spatula to let users measure salt levels in food using their phones The prototype, which has been co-designed in Catalonia by Eurecat, allows users to measure salt levels automatically and sends the results to their phones. The COOKiT has been unveiled at the Mobile World Congress and will [...]
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS An electronic sticker to measure body temperature in a single second SkinTemp and the Eurecat technology centre have designed an adhesive dressing to monitor the entire evolution of fever. The dressing is designed as an alternative to traditional thermometers to measure body temperature in a more comfortable, fast and reliable way. SkinTemp [...]
