In this webinar hosted by Nexa3D, Jeremy Smith and Clifford Green from Alpine Advanced Materials share how their full-service engineering and manufacturing firm uses Freeform Injection Molding (FIM) with high-performance materials to help aerospace and […]
Lightweight eVTOL Aircraft Could Soon Fly You to Work
When inching along in traffic during a particularly slow morning commute, you might have wished for your car to lift off the ground and soar over the congested traffic in order to avoid the slow frustration of rush hour, a la the flying car in the classic […]
A Hot Topic for Firearms Optics: Thermal Stability
Unless you’re Wyatt Earp gunslinging against outlaws at the O.K. Corral, chances are you are a modern marksman either hunting, target-shooting, or the like and use an optic accessory for your firearm. Optics for modern firearms, such as scopes and red dot […]
The Capabilities of Composites
Though they may sound novel, composite materials have existed as long as the Earth’s oldest forests. Tree bark, and the wood drawn from it, is in fact a composite made of long cellulose fibers held together by lignin, a natural binding agent. Alone, both […]
Materially Different, Mechanically Similar: HX5® vs. 6061-T6 Aluminum
Typically used for applications where a high strength-to-weight ratio is critical – such as aerospace, defense, advanced transportation, performance recreation, and more – 6061-T6 is a tempered version of the 6061 aluminum alloy, one of the most commonly used […]
Sustainable is Attainable: Decreasing Emissions in Aviation
In order to reduce the record-high CO2 levels in Earth’s atmosphere, the aviation industry has been tasked with decreasing emissions caused by jet fuel. Jet fuel-generated aircraft emissions are roughly composed of 70% carbon dioxide, 29% water vapor, and the […]
