For review:1. Qatar suspends its' mediation role between Israel and Hamas. Hamas refrains from appointing a sole successor to the organization- instead choosing to use a 5-member committee approach, until leadership elections in March 2025.2. Top Hezbollah Spokesman Killed in IDF Airstrike.An Israeli airstrike on a building in a central neighborhood of the Lebanese capital Beirut on Sunday killed the top spokesman (Mohammed Afif) for the Hezbollah terror group.3. US: Ukraine Can Employ Long-Range Weapons inside Russia.The US Biden administration has allowed Ukraine to use U.S.-made weapons to strike deep into Russia. Ukraine plans to conduct its first long-range attacks in the coming days, the sources said. There was no immediate response from the Kremlin.4. Saab (Sweden) awarded four year contract to provide maintenance and training support for the Australian Army's 84mm Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle.Canberra procured the Carl Gustaf system in 2018 under a $15.46-million deal, and purchased more in 2023 under $36.8 million dollar contract. 5. US Navy: First Columbia-Class Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarine Combat Ready in 2030. The first sub in the class is the USS District of Columbia (SSBN-826).6. USAF Next Generation Ejection Seat (NGES) Program under review. By the end of the year, the Air Force plans to complete a review of the Next Generation Ejection Seat (NGES) program, whose contract is currently held by Collins Aerospace (who beat out Martin-Baker in 2019). Once the review concludes, the Air Force could still stick with its incumbent acquisition strategy, where Collins is already underway with work on the F-15E- or theoretically- result in some split of work between the two companies.

NASA has tried to get Extra Vehicular Activity Number Ninety underway since June 13th. The first attempt was thwarted by a space suit comfort issue, the second by a water leak that created a blizzard of ice inside the  Quest airlock. Are the Shuttle-Era Extra Vehicular Mobility Units (EMU) or space suits finally showing their age? Also, what about Collins Aerospace and their recent withdrawal from their NASA contract to build the next generation of space suits for the ISS and the Artemis Lunar Program when they indicated back in February that all was going well? We discuss. On June 17th, the FAA held a virtual public hearing to receive comments concerning SpaceX's plans to use Launch Complex 39-A and NASA's Kennedy Space Center to support Starship Super Heavy Launches. We discuss what occurred during the session and the fallout from statements put into the record by both Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance. Talking Space continues our Boeing Space CST-100 Starliner Crewed Flight Test coverage. The team continues to examine the “Starliner is Stuck at the ISS” misconceptions and asks what NASA & Boeing Space could have done to alleviate such headlines. We also look at a detailed explanation posted on Twitter from Jim May, a Boeing Engineer who was part of the NASA-TV coverage, of why “Calypso” remains on the ISS. The basis of his discussion comes from the actual NASA flight certification plan. Heather Smith mentions the observations of a NASA flight director and his assessment of how Starliner performed during its first actual safe-haven exercise.  All this and more in this edition of Talking Space!

"I started programming with BASIC in 1978 on an Apple ][ and have over 30 years of experience in the field. I worked on OPENSTEP (precursor to Mac OS X Cocoa) graphical prototyping applications initially when I joined Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace) in 1999. I was a Senior Principal Systems Engineer in the Flight Management Systems department focussed on the user interface for pilot interaction. Prior to joining Rockwell Collins I worked at Acuity (formerly ichat) developing interactive user interfaces for live chat customer service agents. As I'm retired, there's now more time to share technical insights on my blog, develop useful scripts (Python, shell), and write Shortcuts. I'm really motivated to share my experience to help fellow software practitioners develop better skills – be that in good design, implementation, or computer science fundamentals. As much as I can, I try to share the delight in discovering how iOS and macOS applications for productivity and creativity have helped me do better in my personal and (former) work life."

"I started programming with BASIC in 1978 on an Apple ][ and have over 30 years of experience in the field. I worked on OPENSTEP (precursor to Mac OS X Cocoa) graphical prototyping applications initially when I joined Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace) in 1999. I was a Senior Principal Systems Engineer in the Flight Management Systems department focussed on the user interface for pilot interaction. Prior to joining Rockwell Collins I worked at Acuity (formerly ichat) developing interactive user interfaces for live chat customer service agents. As I'm retired, there's now more time to share technical insights on my blog, develop useful scripts (Python, shell), and write Shortcuts. I'm really motivated to share my experience to help fellow software practitioners develop better skills – be that in good design, implementation, or computer science fundamentals. As much as I can, I try to share the delight in discovering how iOS and macOS applications for productivity and creativity have helped me do better in my personal and (former) work life."

Episode Summary: In episode 185 of the Aerospace Advantage, Tomorrow's F-35: Cooling is Key, host Heather “Lucky” Penney and Doug Birkey chat with Matt Pess, Chief Engineer on the Enhanced Power and Cooling System (EPACS) program at Collins Aerospace, about a key technology to sustain the F-35's future capability growth. The fighter's powerful sensor suite, computing power, and avionics set it apart as a hugely capable twenty-first century combat aircraft. Operating these technologies demands robust cooling via a key aircraft subsystem known as power thermal management system (PTMS), especially as new systems are fielded on subsequent versions of the aircraft. The Joint Program Office (JPO) recently launched an effort to explore a new generation of PTMS systems. EPACS is one of the options. Big picture, this is a good news story because it means the F-35 is radically expanding what it can deliver in the battlespace. Realizing these gains will demand innovation. We discuss these factors with a key expert. This episode will explore this evolution and how the Collins team is focused on a potential solution.  Credits: Host: Heather “Lucky” Penney, Senior Fellow, The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies Producer: Shane Thin Executive Producer: Douglas Birkey Guest: Douglas Birkey, Executive Director, The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies Guest: Matt Pess, Chief Engineer, Enhanced Power and Cooling System (EPACS) Program, Collins Aerospace Related Reading: Accelerating 5th Generation Airpower: Bringing Capability and Capacity to the Merge Links: Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://bit.ly/3GbA5Of Website: https://mitchellaerospacepower.org/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MitchellStudies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mitchell.Institute.Aerospace LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3nzBisb Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitchellstudies/ #MitchellStudies #AerospaceAdvantage #Allies #Sweden #Europe Thank you for your continued support!

We've discussed the silver tsunami on the show numerous times, the unprecedented rate of which employees are retiring. When engineers and other employees retire from companies, they take with them more than a set of gold cufflinks or an engraved plaque. In many cases, they also take with them wisdom and knowledge. Perhaps this is never truer than in the case of Mike Konrad's guest today. And who is that? Doug Pauls. Pauls holds a B.A. in chemistry and physics from Carthage College, and a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He worked nine years for the Navy, eight years as technical director of Contamination Studies Labs, and more than 20 years at Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace), in the Advanced Operations Engineering group where he is a technical fellow and, a principal materials and process engineer. He was awarded the Rockwell Collins Arthur A. Collins Engineer of the Year Award in 2004 as well as numerous other awards. Paul is a longtime (well over 30 years) IPC chairman and was awarded the IPC's Hall of Fame Award in 2017. Most notably, he is known for his expertise in surface insulation resistance testing, cleaning and cleanliness assessment, conformal coatings, and how to investigate and qualify manufacturing processes. He has been a U.S. representative to ISO and IEC working groups on SIR, electromigration, and cleanliness reliability standards. He has participated in numerous national and international consortia on electronics manufacturing materials and processes. He recently led a team of SMEs to redefine the cleanliness provisions of J-STD-001, culminating in what is presently J-STD-001H. To take liberties with a famous Mark Twain quote “rumors of my retirement have been greatly exaggerated”. For several years now, I've heard rumors of Pauls' retirement. Well, that day has finally come.  Konrad talks with Pauls about his long career within the electronics assembly industry: his triumphs and challenges, and his journey in this ever-changing, dynamic, and challenging industry. If you're new to this industry, stick around listen to Doug's advice to young people entering our world, the world of electronics assembly.   00:00:00 - Introduction to Doug Pauls' Career in the Electronic Assembly Industry 00:02:57 - Reliability Matters Podcast Introduction 00:06:04 - Sharing wisdom with early career individuals 00:09:34 - Hobbies Outside of Work 00:12:44 - The Minions and World Domination 00:16:23 - Overcoming Shyness through Theater and Public Speaking Lessons 00:19:41 - Lessons Learned from Skilled Trades People 00:23:03 - Working in the Department of the Navy 00:26:21 - Learning from Asking Questions and Trying New Things 00:29:38 - Learning from the Old Guys 00:33:05 - Participating in Standards Development 00:36:32 - The Power of Networking and Technical Committees 00:40:01 - The Value of Leadership Skills in Collaborative Industries 00:43:15 - Collaboration in the Electronics Industry 00:46:18 - Developing Valuable Skills in Problem-Solving 00:49:39 - Transitioning to Rockwell Collins 00:52:59 - The Four Pillars of Career Advancement at Collins Aerospace 00:56:32 - Finding Resources for Personal Growth 01:00:01 - Industry Updates and Resources 01:03:26 - The Value of Old Guy Stories 01:06:46 - The Importance of Understanding How Things are Made 01:10:08 - Retirement Plans, Consulting, and the Future 01:13:10 - An Unconventional Industry Presentation 01:15:59 - Thank You for Listening to the Reliability Matters Podcast

More details about title image -> Example of a peatlands restoration project in County Wicklow. The €600k rewetting initiative announced by Transport Research Arena will restore 100 hectares of degraded blanket bog in Wicklow Mountains National Park, in a collaboration bringing together TRA, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Department of Transport. The organisers of Transport Research Arena (TRA2024) have launched a €600,000 peatlands rewetting project in County Wicklow as preparations continue for the conference taking place in Dublin in April. TRA is the largest European event to address all aspects of transport and mobility and it is estimated that bringing it to Dublin will be worth €7 million to the Irish economy. Peatlands restoration scheme in Wicklow The rewetting initiative will restore 100 hectares of degraded blanket bog in Wicklow Mountains National Park, in a collaboration bringing together TRA2024, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Department of Transport. Healthy peatlands are the most efficient, long-term and concentrated carbon stores and sinks in our planet's biosphere. One hectare of restored blanket bog avoids 10 tonnes of carbon loss per year, and with a lifetime of thousands of years it will carry on capturing carbon long into the future. Director of TRA2024 Dublin Dr Albert Daly says making a positive environmental impact is important to the organisers: "Hosting TRA2024 in Dublin is a fantastic opportunity and as an island nation, we are conscious that bringing people here contributes to the event's carbon footprint. This major Peatland Restoration project - which will prevent the release of nearly 1000 tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere annually for many years to come - serves as a reminder of the importance of developing low-carbon transport, which is one of the priorities at TRA2024". Dr Billy O'Keeffe, senior geologist/hydrogeologist at TII, who will lead the initiative, said: "This Wetlands Restoration Project harnesses the power of one of our greatest natural assets. In addition to reducing carbon emissions, healthy blanket bogs can improve water quality, prevent flooding and reduce the risk of drought and wildfires. They are also richly biodiverse, offering habitats for a massive array of plants, birds and insects." The TRA2024 Dublin event will run from 15 - 18 April and will discuss all modes of transport including road, rail, air, water and cross modality, in urban, inter-urban and rural settings. The importance of developing sustainable transport is a significant part of the event programme, while one of the four days is fully dedicated to discussing themes of decarbonisation and improving transport sustainability. Attendees at the event in the RDS will include two European Commissioners and three Director Generals, Government representatives from the EU, UK and US, and officials from leading global businesses including Google, Collins Aerospace, BMW, SNCF and Stena. Over 1,200 submissions from researchers around the globe have already been received and over 940 of these will be presented throughout the week in Dublin as researchers plot a way to a more sustainable transport future for the planet. TRA2024 is supported by the European Commission and the Irish Government. For more information and to register, please visit https://traconference.eu/ See more breaking stories here.

During the 2016 elections, refugees coming from Syria to the States were a topic that brought Syria back to the front page. But after that, it slowly faded into the background. That does not mean that all is quiet on that front. Living conditions have deteriorated poorly while the regime behind all the tragedies is still in power. We learn how Assad survived this, including becoming one of the world's top manufacturers and distributors of the drug Captagon.Eyad came to Louisiana from Syria in August 2012 as a graduate student. He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Louisiana State in 2018. A husband and a father of two, they all moved to Cedar Rapids, where he joined Mount Mercy University as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Statistics. He is now a Software Engineer at Collins Aerospace in Cedar Rapids.For more information about the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council, visit icfrc.org.

Paul McGlone, CEO, Seeing Machines joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss scaling Seeing Machines in-cabin sensing technology. The conversation begins with Paul discussing how Seeing Machines in-cabin sensing technology adapts to meet consumer and regulatory demand.The primary driver of demand is regulatory. – Paul McGloneToday, the in-cabin sensing technology senses the human condition which can be composed of body jesters, head position, eyelid movement and direct gaze (pupil tracking) and soon lip movement. By monitoring the cabin, Seeing Machines can detect distraction, fatigue, passenger occupancy and if someone is holding a phone while driving. As the technology evolves there is the potential to add health monitoring systems into the vehicle that can potentially detect when a driver or passenger is experiencing a heart attack or medical condition. Setting the stage for autonomous vehicles to scale and handle adverse in-vehicle situations. The core target market for our technology is Levels 2 – 4, but certainly as the companies that are managing fully autonomous, say 3rd party vehicle fleets will need someway to detect the well-being of the occupants, particularly if they are paying for the service. – Paul McGloneIn Fiscal Year 2023, Seeing Machines generated $13.6 million in annual recurring revenue, up 27% over Fiscal Year 2022. This revenue was generated from the company's commercial fleet business (after-market) where the Seeing Machines devices are installed into vehicles. One of the big drivers of the revenue growth was fleet managers looking to reduce driver fatigue and distraction because of rising insurance costs.Fatigue and distraction are the two primary drivers of insurance claims costs in commercial vehicle fleets worldwide. – Paul McGloneFor their automotive business, Seeing Machines has 15 programs with 10 OEMs and over 1 million cars globally have a Seeing Machines system installed. Their automotive business model is a royalty based model where the company is paid a royalty for every car that is manufactured for the life of the model that features their technology. The model has generated $320 million in royalties to date.As we consider our business going forward, we are not only going to see significant growth rates, but we are going to see a mix change in revenue from sort of engineering services, low-margin to primarily royalties which are very very high-margin. – Paul McGloneOutside of automotive, Seeing Machines is expanding into aviation through a partnership with Collins Aerospace. One the areas of focus is a monitoring system for air traffic control to monitor distraction and fatigue.We think that almost every industrial opportunity that has a human-machine interface is an opportunity for accurate eye-tracking to improve either a safety or performance outcome. – Paul McGloneWrapping up the conversation, Paul shares his opinion on the future of in-cabin monitoring.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for October 6, 2023.A chance for rain in the morning, and quite a bit cooler. According to the National Weather Service there will be a 30 percent chance for rain in the Cedar Rapids area Friday morning. The high temperature will crest at 56 degrees with a stiff breeze all day.A teenager has been charged in connection with threats to Cedar Rapids schools circulating on social media that led to classes across the district being canceled Monday.Cedar Rapids police announced Thursday night they had worked with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation to arrest a 14-year-old. Authorities said the teen is from Cedar Rapids, but did not say if the teen is a student in the Cedar Rapids Community School District nor say what charges he or she faces.The district had notified parents last Sunday that district schools would be closed Monday because of the threats, which they did not describe. Cedar Rapids schools reopened Tuesday, although many students — about 40 percent — stayed away.The district also imposed temporary new rules because of the threats: Students are not allowed to bring backpacks, bags or purses unless they are clear and see-through. Lunchboxes are allowed but will be examined by staff. High school students are not allowed to be released for lunch.The district said Thursday after the arrest that it would continue with the safety protocols for Friday, but intended to lift them next week.More than three-fourths of Linn County is now engulfed in exceptional drought — the most severe drought condition — according to a Thursday U.S. Drought Monitor report.This is the driest the county has been in the history of the U.S. Drought Monitor, which began in 2000. This is also the first year there has been exceptional drought in Eastern Iowa at all.The average temperature in Cedar Rapids throughout September was 5 degrees higher than the historical norm, according to the National Weather Service Quad Cities bureau. The city received just over an inch of rain that month — 2.33 inches less than normal.The swath represents the only patch of exceptional drought in Iowa and the Midwest at large. It currently makes up about 3 percent of Iowa's land. Exceptional drought has historically been contained to central and west Iowa — not Eastern Iowa.About a quarter of the state is still covered in severe drought, stretching from the northeast corner down to the southeast corner. Northeast Iowa, where exceptional drought plagued farmers and ranchers last month, has improved. The rest of the state is experiencing severe or moderate drought or abnormally dry conditions. None of Iowa is drought-free.Collins Aerospace, which employs about 9,000 people in Iowa, will lay off 68 employees in Cedar Rapids.According to a state notice, the layoffs will occur Oct. 13.A company spokesperson confirmed last month that Collins was planning layoffs across the company -- not in one specific division or location -- totaling less than 1 percent of its total workforce. One percent of its 7,000...

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for September 15, 2023.According to the National Weather Service it will be sunny on Friday with a high of 81 degrees. On Friday evening the low will be 59 degrees, and a chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase as we head into the morning hours on Saturday.Collins Aerospace, the North Carolina-based company that employs 9,000 people in Iowa, will lay off less than 1 percent of its total workforce.The news was confirmed by a company spokesperson this week, who said the layoffs will be made across the company — not in one specific division or location.Collins, an RTX business, employs about 80,000 people worldwide, of whom 7,000 are based in Cedar Rapids. One percent of the company's workforce would be about 800 positions.Erin Callender, director of global media relations for Collins, said the layoffs are part of an alignment effort.“Collins Aerospace is implementing actions to align its cost structure with the ongoing aerospace recovery,” Callender said in an email. She could not comment on when the layoffs will happen, or how many employees in Iowa may be affected.According to reportin g from the Associated Press, an Iowa police officer died after being shot while trying to arrest a man who was later captured in Minnesota, officials said on Thursday.Algona Police Officer Kevin Cram was shot just before 8 p.m. Wednesday as he tried to serve an arrest warrant on 43-year-old Kyle Ricke.Cram, a 33-year-old husband and father who had been an officer in Algona since 2015, was pronounced dead at a hospital.Cram was on patrol in Algona, a town of about 5,300 residents, when he learned of an active arrest warrant for Ricke on a charge of harassment, Mortvedt said. The officer saw Ricke and told him he would be arrested. That's when Ricke shot him, Mortvedt said.In a move to expand equitable access to trees and green spaces nationwide, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Thursday announced an award of $6 million toward Cedar Rapids' effort to reforest the city after the 2020 derecho toppled most of the city's tree canopy.Vilsack, along with other federal officials, announced the major grant on a visit to Greene Square in downtown Cedar Rapids. Cedar Rapids is among 385 recipients of $1.13 billion in U.S. Forest Service grants that will help communities grow tree cover in urban spaces and provide Americans with the health benefits that trees offer.The funding, made available through the $740 billion Democrat-backed Inflation Reduction Act that took effect in August 2022Vilsack told reporters the combination of community leadership, nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations and other partnerships behind ReLeaf Cedar Rapids made it a compelling application within the state of Iowa and a fitting location to spotlight in unveiling the grants.The grant goes a long way toward the $37 million Cedar Rapids city officials and non profits are looking to secure to fund a 10-year plan to plant 42,000 trees

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for August 17, 2023.According to the National Weather Service it will be sunny with a high near 80 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area on Thursday. On Thursday evening there will be clear skies, with a low of around 53 degrees.The city of Iowa City is looking at whether changes in property regulations can increase affordable housing and improve housing choice in the community as demand grows.Zoning code plays a factor in affordable housing by allowing a diversity of options, which is why staff is presenting the five changes.The goals of the proposed amendments include increasing housing supply and the diversity of housing options, incentivizing development of income-restricted affordable housing and addressing fair housing issues.During Tuesday's City Council work session, city staff presented five proposed changes to the zoning code that are intended to increase housing supply and diversity of housing options. Since it was a work session and not a formal meeting, council members asked questions and shared general thoughts, but couldn't share their positions until a public hearing is closed.An analysis looking at residential development in 2022 found if residential growth continues at the current pace, the demand will not be able to keep up with housing supply. The city will be able to accommodate less than 6,300 new residents by 2030, compared with a projected demand of 10,240.The council will hold a public hearing on the proposed changes during its Sept. 19 meeting, which also will include the first consideration of the amendments. Collins Aerospace has been awarded a $24 million contract for production and delivery of electric generators with containers to the U.S. Army's Anniston Depot in Alabama.The Collins' generators deliver 50 percent more onboard power to the M1A2 Main Battle Tank, enhancing the tanks' survivability and reliability, Collins said in a news release.The Collins-designed generators fit in the same space as the legacy system without requiring major changes to the tanks or their existing electrical systems.Collins Aerospace is the largest employer in Cedar Rapids, with nearly 7,000 of its 9,000 Iowa employees based in the city.

The environmental lawsuit brought by a consortium of environmental and tribal groups against the FAA and SpaceX has shown no visible movement since July 5, 2023, but we have all the details on what did transpire on that date. Turns out that since our recording date, another filing in the case would extend the deadline for proposing a briefing schedule as to summary judgment within 14 days of the Court's resolution of Plaintiffs' motion challenging the Administrative Record, if any is filed. And that resolution could come in the timeframe of December 2023 or January of 2024, or maybe even later. More on this to come next time! Believe it or not, there are a few other stories in the News Roundup: NASA selects Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace to further advance the capabilities of their respective spacesuits by pulling a switcheroo on them. A new robotic, scientific instrument package with a lovely new acronym – DIMPLE –  has been selected for Artemis through NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) to study volcanic terrain on the Moon. The asteroid sample-return mission known as OSIRIS Rex is making a number of course-correction burns this month to set it up for a precision landing in the Great Salt Lake Desert on September 24, 2023. Next, the United Launch Alliance (ULA) says despite recent anomalies involving their Centaur V upper stage and the BE-4 engines built by Blue Origin, Vulcan should still fly this year, although behind schedule. We respectfully disagree. Then, we bring you a discussion on a subject near and dear to everyone's heart here on the Talking Space team: STEM education programs and their importance in securing the future competitiveness of the USA, the future of our children and the well-being of the planet. FYI, STEM represents science, technology, engineering and math. NASA has recently awarded millions in STEM research grants to schools all over the country. All this may sound corny, but you can't argue with how it's changed lives. Also, here's a STEM center success story that is very personal to Sawyer. Finally, a reminder from whence we came: This past week was the 54th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon mission, which carried Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the lunar surface for the first-ever manned lunar landing on July 20, 1969. Meanwhile, Michael Collins piloted the Command Module, which then took all three astronauts back home.

Additive manufacturing is a dynamic space for various reasons: The technology is advancing and application possibilities are still being developed, and as a direct consequence, the landscape of AM companies is subject to change due to investor moves; mergers and acquisitions; and startups emerging from “stealth mode.” On this podcast, and in related reporting for Additive Manufacturing Media, we serve manufacturers by covering AM technology and applications — the corporate and financial moves are not the focus. And yet, one realm affects the other. The company moves shape what we cover and affect the choices of manufacturers as they aim to proceed with the technology. In this episode of AM Radio, Peter Zelinski and Stephanie Hendrixson talk about this. They discuss how the corporate and financial developments among AM companies play out for AM users, and where the dynamism of the additive space is likely to lead in the future. This episode of AM Radio is brought to you by Formnext Forum: Austin. Mentioned in this episode: Stratasys and Desktop Metal Other recent company moves: Ultimaker and Makerbot; Markforged and Digital Metal; Shapeways and Linear AMS; Nexa3D and Addifab AM provider Zeda opening new facility Tangible Solutions built its process on machines from Concept Laser.
