Top 5 Videos: Manufacturing Scooters & Recreus’ New Purifier Filament

Did you know that the manufacture of skates and scooters is not what it used to be? Advances in new manufacturing technologies have reimagined the way these modes of transportation are produced. And that’s what we’ll see in the weekly video compilation! In addition to this, we will get to know two new launches to the AM industry — the Purifier filament from Recreus and the cloud-based software from BCN3D. Afterward, we will see how to cut costs and production times thanks to 3D printing, and finally, we will discover the future of this technology in space. Are you going to miss it?

Top 1: How is Scooter Manufacturing Changing?

The IMH of Elgoibar launched the Young Manufacturing Leaders (YML) project. The YML aims to explain and familiarize young people with the possibilities of new production technologies. This video explains the scooter manufacturing project and illustrates how production methods have changed. Today, additive manufacturing can be used as a tool in a number of ways in the production process. In the example, we can see how IMH uses Ultimaker devices to create various parts of the skate. We let you discover all the details below!

Top 2: Recreus’ New Purifier Filament

The Spanish company Recreus, dedicated to the development of filaments for 3D printing, has just launched a new range of materials called Purifier. Specifically, it is made up of two new filaments, the Filaflex Purifier and the PLA Purifier. The interesting thing about these materials is that they have the latest technology in gas mineralization, which adheres to the surface of 3D-printed parts. Thus, they become environmentally friendly mineral particles, thanks to catalysis and photocatalysis processes. Thus, Recreus wants to continue working to manufacture and develop each purifier filament, which, in addition to creating all kinds of parts, also help the environment.
