Sludge builds better polymer products
Article Abstract:
Engineering company, Fosse has developed a polymer filler from recycled papermill waste. It improves the quality of moulded products and is cheaper than traditionally-used wood flour. Fillers with varying constituents have been produced. F-STEND S has been used for building boards. F-STEND 10 is an all-purpose filler and F-Stend HF is a higher fibre version with characteristics of wood. The filler allows substantial cost-savings and is environmentally sound.

Printing your way to faster castings
Article Abstract:
A three-dimensional ink-jet printing process has facilitated the development of a Direct Shell Production Casting System (DSPC). DSPC allows the creation of a ceramic structure from CAD images. The technique allows rapid prototyping as delays inherent in conventional casting are greatly reduced. American engineers, Yehoram Uziel, Adam Cohen and Charles Lewis developed the technology.
