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 [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) is to lend its knowledge in the field of big data to the Barcelona-based company MP Engineering, in order to enable the analysis of mass data on the atmospheric conditions in various locations throughout the world’s oceans. The aim is to reproduce the sailing conditions for a [...]
Hesperia Hotels & Resorts has teamed up with top chefs Jon Giraldo and Jaime Lieberman to open OVNEW, a new experiential restaurant located in the iconic dome at the Hesperia Barcelona Tower Hotel. In this unique gastronomic space, which opens today, more than 60 speakers provide a fully immersive experience thanks to the Sfëar 3D [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) has opened the second round of applications for the Vicente López scholarship programme, which will offer 19 pre-doctoral contracts this year. The aim of the programme is to promote the production of doctoral theses and increase scientific knowledge in the fields of industry, digital technology and biotechnology, [...]
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 [...]
“Personalization is at the cutting edge of the food industry and will enable the creation, over the next few years, of functional foods and beverages” that offer specific health-oriented benefits to particular groups of consumers based on genetic, metabolic, lifestyle-related and other factors, according to Francesc Puiggròs, the scientific director of the Biotechnology Department at [...]
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 start-up firm VB Devices has partnered with the Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) to develop a new automated device that eliminates varicose veins using sclerotherapy (the most common treatment option for this complaint). Sclerotherapy involves the application of a foam-based medication which acts on the affected vein, causing it to close and [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) has developed eKauri, a remote-support platform that uses information sent from small ambient sensors to establish behavioural patterns based on the daily activities of senior citizens or dependent individuals. The aim of the platform is to provide new tools that can support the decision-making processes of the [...]
