Desktop Metal and Henkel have announced the first initial workflow validation for the Xtreme 8K, the largest digital light processing (DLP) build volume machine for the 3D printing market. Following the two companies’ collaboration on applications on ETEC’s printer platforms for industrial and medical use, validation of Henkel’s Loctite branded formulations shows support from both partners for volume production in additive manufacturing.

3D MIDs integrates more into medical devices, says Harting
Mechatronics allows for the extreme downsizing or miniaturizing of medical applications, enabling examination, sensing, and monitoring from within the patient. Medical devices can therefore be designed to be much less invasive, leading to a significant improvement in patient care. Harting maintained that taking large medical machines and devices and putting them into a more compact package without sacrificing quality is part of 3D-Circuits’ role.
Monolithic full bridge autoresonant transmitter IC simplifies wireless battery charger design
The use of batteries in everyday devices is getting more ubiquitous. In many of these products, a charging connector is difficult or impossible to use. For example, some products require sealed enclosures to protect sensitive electronics from harsh environments and enable convenient cleaning or sterilisation. Other products may simply be too small to include a connector, and in products where the battery-powered application includes movement or rotation, forget about charging with wires. Wireless charging adds value, reliability, and robustness in these and other applications.
Thick film conductivity sensor serves single use applications
Equipped with four electrodes and four Pt/Ni wires, the latest thick-film conductivity sensor from Innovative Sensor Technology IST, the LFS1505 is small enough to fit into small handheld measurement devices.
