According to Renishaws Chris Dimery, two key barriers are limiting the adoption of additive manufacturing: high cost per part and expensive capital investments. At Formnext 2024 Dimery, Additive Manufacturing Business Manager for the EMEA region, explained how the companys new 3D printers address these critical challenges.During the Frankfurt-based trade show, the British engineering firm unveiled its RenAM 500D series, adding the 500D, 500D Flex and 500D Ultra to the RenAM portfolio of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) systems. These new industrial metal 3D printers incorporate two 500 W lasers into a 250 mm x 250 mm x 350 mm build volume.In a discussion with 3D Printing Industry, Dimery outlined how Renishaws new offerings balance productivity and upfront investment, addressing growing market demand for versatile and cost-effective metal 3D printers. He emphasized the value of Renishaws game-changing TEMPUS technology, which is available on the 500D Ultra model. Dimery explained how TEMPUS reduces cycle times by up to 70% by firing both lasers while the powder recoater is moving.Renishaws Formnext booth featured several real customer applications, including 3D printing use cases for the medical, automotive and energy sectors. It also showcased Team GBs track bike used in the 2024 Olympic Games, which features parts 3D printed on the companys RenAM 500Q four-laser metal 3D printer.The new RenAM 500D Ultra 3D printer from Renishaw at Formnext 2024. Photo by 3D Printing Industry.New additions to the RenAM seriesThe RenAM 500D adds to Renishaws 500 series of 3D printers which includes the single-laser 500S and quad-laser 500Q systems. The new system seeks to address the need for a more affordable metal 3D printer which retains good productivity, Dimery explained. Weve listened to the market and have tried to respond, he added. The aim is to lower barriers to adoption while maintaining competitive cost-per-part metrics, critical for industries looking to integrate additive manufacturing into production workflows.The 500D series retains the robust core features of its predecessors, such as advanced gas flow management, onboard powder recirculation options, and process monitoring tools. Another key feature is Renishaws proprietary optical module and galvanometer (Galvo). This control mechanism guarantees laser coverage of the entire build plate, meaning users dont have any limitations in terms of sections or quadrant within the build plate.Dimery expanded on how Renishaw differentiates from the competition. One key factor is the companys TEMPUS recoating technology, offered on the RenAM 500D Ultra model. The process allows the lasers to fire during recoater movements, saving up to nine seconds per build layer. This translates to three times faster production speeds compared to single laser systems.Dimery called TEMPUS a time-saving technology, and one of the Renishaws largest developments of recent years. He added that it eliminates non-productive time by maximizing the laser time of each layer in the build. Time savings are geometry-dependent. While typically cycle time savings are around 30%, certain well-matched geometries can save up to 70% with TEMPUS.According to Dimery, this increase in productivity translates to lower cost per part, promoting the adoption of Renishaws additive manufacturing technology over conventional production methods. He added that the individual part costs are competitive for a lot of industries. This adds to the RenAM 500Ds very competitive pricing for machine capacity and footprint size. Dimery explained that the new RenAM 500D Ultra offers 30% average time savings for around 15% higher investment costs.The print bed of Renishaws new RenAM 500D Ultra. Photo by 3D Printing Industry.Lifting the lid on customer applicationsAt trade shows, companies often face limitations on the parts they can display due to customer confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). To address this, many produce demonstration parts which are showcased in place of the actual products.Renishaws booth, on the other hand, was brimming with real-world, customer applications. Dimery believes this serves as a testament to how successful Renishaw is. He added, Its great to see that a number of companies are willing to share with the public domain that they are partnered with Renishaw.One such partner is Mott Corporation, a filtration and flow control engineering specialist based in Farmington, Connecticut. Dimery outlined how Mott has used design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) to achieve performance benefits over parts produced with conventional production methods. Additionally, the firm recently purchased a RenAM 500S Flex 3D printer to reduce machine turnaround and setup times by over 50%.Another company present at the Renishaw booth was Bristol-based Domin, which showcased its 3D printed servo proportional hydraulic valves. The firm recently acquired a RenAM 500Q Ultra 3D printer, adding to its existing RenAM 500Q system purchased in 2023. Renishaws technology reportedly allows Domin to achieve complex geometries with internal features for automotive, aerospace and manufacturing applications.Domins 3D printed servo proportional hydraulic valves. Photo by 3D Printing Industry.Domins approach combines additive manufacturing with high-speed motor control, modern electronics, big data, and connected technology. It hopes this will help reduce one gigatonne of hydraulics-related CO2 emissions by the end of the decade. Additionally, the Renishaw booth featured several 3D printed automotive components produced on the RenAM 500Q by the Basque engineering firm Madit.Dimery emphasized that Renishaws technology really comes into its own for medical and dental applications. Several patient-specific 3D printed craniomaxillofacial implants from KLS Martin were displayed at the booth, showcasing the ability to achieve production runs of components with thin walls.KLS Martins 3D printed craniomaxillofacial implants. Photo by 3D Printing Industry.The most popular application at the booth, however, was Team GBs gold medal-winning racing bike. Renishaw worked with British Cycling to 3D print over 1,000 parts for 32 Olympic track bikes using the RenAM 500Q. These components included aerodynamic cranks, dropouts, seat stay bridges, and seat posts. Notably, the cranks feature an internal lattice structure. Its weight and shape are optimized for true performance on the track. The design was also created with cost-effectiveness in mind. Being a part of that project was a really exciting opportunity for us, added Dimery. We collaborated to really push the boundaries in terms of design.Team GB 2024 Olympics track bike at the Renishaw Booth during Formnext 2024. Photo by 3D Printing Industry.Renishaw and the future of 3D printingLooking ahead, Dimery believes the future of 3D printing depends on the technologys ability to solve real-world challenges and deliver value. He highlighted two critical drivers of growth, the first being application-driven adoption. If you are producing a component that is more cost-effective using another manufacturing method, why print it? Dimery asked.Instead, the Additive Manufacturing Business Manager anticipates initial growth for applications which benefit the most from the design freedom offered by additive manufacturing. He pointed to orthopedic implants featuring internal lattices that cant be produced any other way as one such application.Another driver of growth, according to Dimery, will be the improving cost-efficiency and productivity gains of 3D printing. As the cost per part decreases due to reduced cycle times, additive manufacturing becomes more viable for a wider range of industries. Dimery believes this shift will lower barriers to adoption, allowing more companies to embrace the technology.He also emphasized the importance of education in driving market expansion. The knowledge of additive manufacturing is increasing as more people go through educational programs. This is critical for companies to feel confident in their investment decisions.Ultimately, Dimery shared a positive outlook for the 3D printing industry. He acknowledged it is difficult to predict what the future will bring. However, he believes there is one thing we can be certain of for the coming decade: The customer base is going to expect manufacturing costs to become cheaper. By reducing cycle times, boosting productivity and optimizing cost-per-part, Dimery believes Renishaw is well-positioned to address this demand.Renishaws 3D printed racing bike cranks at Formnext 2024.

Bed bugs are typically drawn to places where people sleep or rest, as they feed on human blood. They hide during the day in small crevices, such as mattress seams, headboards, and upholstered furniture, coming out at night to feed. Unlike pests that are attracted to food or waste, bed bugs dont rely on cleanliness to find a host. With simple awareness, Orlando residents can make their homes less inviting to these unwelcome visitors.Inspecting Regularly: A Simple Habit for PreventionA regular inspection of beds, furniture, and hidden corners can make a big difference in catching an infestation early. Orlando residents can benefit from checking their mattresses, headboards, and nearby furniture, as well as any nooks where bed bugs might hide.Look for small, dark spots, which may indicate bed bug droppings or tiny eggs and shells. Regular checks mean catching infestations before they spread. Checking luggage and clothes after travel is also crucial. Taking a few minutes for these inspections can prevent the need for extensive treatment if bed bugs are detected early.Design Features That Deter Bed BugsSeamless Construction:Gaps, crevices, and seams in furniture, walls, and floors provide hiding places for bed bugs. Architects can prioritize seamless construction methods and materials to reduce these hiding spots.For example, consider specifying sealed skirting boards and integrated furniture designs that minimize cracks and crevices.Use of Non-Porous Materials:Upholstered furniture and fabrics are common harbors for bed bugs. Materials like metal or treated wood with smooth, non-porous surfaces are less inviting for pests and easier to inspect and clean.Modular Furniture Design:Modular or easily disassembled furniture enables thorough inspections and cleaning, preventing undetected infestations.Travel Tips to Prevent Bringing Bed Bugs Home Ardi Evans via Unsplash Avi Richards via UnsplashGiven Orlandos status as a popular travel hub, many residents frequently travel for work or leisure. Bed bugs often spread through travel, so its helpful to be vigilant when staying in hotels or other accommodations. Inspect hotel beds and avoid placing luggage directly on beds or carpets where bed bugs might be hiding.These precautions are small but can save a lot of trouble later. Using a luggage rack and keeping bags zipped can reduce exposure. Once home, unpack and wash travel clothing immediately. These simple precautions can minimize the risk of bringing bed bugs back into your living space.Keeping Your Home Clutter-FreeReducing clutter in the home can also play an important role in bed bug prevention. Bed bugs find ample hiding spots in cluttered areas, so maintaining a tidy space makes your home less attractive to them. Regularly cleaning and vacuuming, especially in sleeping areas, can reduce bed bug hiding spots.A little tidiness goes a long way in deterring pests. Additionally, using protective covers for mattresses and box springs adds a layer of defense, making it harder for bed bugs to hide. This approach not only helps with bed bugs but also promotes an overall cleaner and healthier living environment.How Professionals Can Help With Bed Bug InfestationsProfessional help can be essential for residents facing persistent or large-scale infestations. Pest control experts use specialized equipment and techniques that are often beyond what DIY methods can achieve.

This large First Period house was built on the outskirts of Salem Village, now Danvers, Massachusetts, and moved to its present location in 1845. The residence was originally built around 1680 for John Darling (c.1637-1713), a mariner, who farmed the land here when he was not at sea or residing on the island of Monhegan in Maine (then a part of Massachusetts Bay Colony). John Darling (sometimes spelled Dollin or Dollen) died in 1713 and his estate went to his eldest son, Thomas, who farmed on the land there until the property was sold in 1734 to Dr. Jonathan Prince (c.1707-1753), one of the first resident physicians of Danvers, Massachusetts. Dr. Prince would practice medicine from his home and taught students the medical profession until he passed away at home in 1753. The home was later moved to its present site in 1845 by owner, John Hook, who likely expanded the home to its present configuration.

Edwin Mudge (1818-1890) was a major shoe manufacturer and a representative to the Massachusetts General Court. In 1844, he married Lydia Nichols Bryant, and in 1852, the couple hired Edwins brother, a carpenter, to build this house at 108 Centre Street in Danvers, Massachusetts. A son, Francis was born October 4, 1846, and his sister Lydianna was born March 20, 1853. Tragically, both brother and sister died in 1855 of what was described as brain fever or dropsy in the head. Frank, one month shy of 10 years of age, passed away on September 8, 1855, followed by little two-year-old Lydianna exactly one month later. They are buried together in the local cemetery and a portrait of them is in the Danvers Historical Society collections. Edwin and Lydia would have one other child, Sarah Mudge (1857-1938), who grew up to be a prominent citizen and one of the founders of the Danvers Historical Society. The formerly simple Greek Revival style cottage was Victorianized in the Stick/Eastlake style with the addition of delicate bargeboards, a hood over the new double-door entry with iron balustrade, and side dormers.
