Sponsored Content: Reclaiming Control in Electronics Manufacturing and Quality Control

In semiconductor and electronic equipment manufacture, the quality control (QC) process is essential to ensuring defect-free products that meet specifications and comply with international standards. Here, manufacturers rely heavily on industrial microscopes to ensure a thorough and reliable examination. While the visual inspection needed for QC can be costly and time-consuming, advances in microscope software ...

Communications Chasms in supply chains

Communications Chasms can add to delays and costs in supply chains, warns Sondrel. As chip supply chains consist of a series of different subcontractors each independently doing a specific task, disconnects can easily happen between them. Unless the handover between each stage is overseen by someone who really understand the whole process, it is all ...

Henkel offers resins for BCN3D’s novel production-grade 3D printer

BCN3D Technologies of Barcelona, inventor of ‘VLM’ upside-down resin 3D printing, is collaborated with Henkel Adhesive Technologies to develop appropriate resins. VLM allows objects to be printed from resins far thicker than can be used with vat-based printers, with the higher viscosity allowing chemistry which produces tougher end-products. Little has been disclosed about the resulting ...
