Globally, no sector has been placed under the magnifying glass more than the healthcare sector due to the corona pandemic. Hospitals, outpatient clinics, practice-based physicians and care facilities have experienced a sudden increased demand for medical and laboratory technology, a wide variety of medical products, digital health applications and, most of all, personal protective equipment.

EPHJ–EPMT–SMT is the most important professional show, held annually in Switzerland, in the high-precision sector embracing jewelry and watchmaking subcontracting micro-technologies and medical technologies. The show is a multi-domain field for business interactions and the latest innovations.

ALUMINIUM, the world‘s leading trade fair for the aluminium industry, which was to take place in Dusseldorf/DE from 6–8 October 2020, was postponed to 18–20 May 2021 due to the serious consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Micro-injection moulding is used to describe the production of components whose weight is approximately between 0,01–0,5 g. Some parts are so small that they can only be seen with a magnifying glass. Micro-injection moulding differs from classic injection moulding in that it has a very small injection unit that is integrated in the injection moulding machine instead of the normal size unit. This injection unit is based on a different technology.

From medical technology to full-scale power plants – pumps and compressors are a cornerstone of countless industrial and manufacturing operations. The individual areas of application all require components that are precisely tailored to the pump’s specifications. They have to be durable and withstand extreme loads, economical and effective. A perfect fit for CeramTec’s/DE advanced ceramics.

TRIMET Aluminium SE/DE is introducing a new aluminium alloy for Additive Manufacturing (AM). The alloy trimal^®-05AM is suitable for ultra-high-strength serial parts without subsequent heat treatment process steps. In cooperation with the Leibniz Institute for Material-Oriented Technologies, Bremen/DE, TRIMET conducted a research project to determine the suitability of the new alloy for the SLM process used in 3D-printing.

High performance ceramics is the CERIX´s passion and nature’s perfection is the company´s inspiration. Therefore, CERIX/DE is happy to announce that with immediate effect will become Bosch Advanced Ceramics/DE.

The 1^st edition of the new formnext + PM South China fair will now occur in 2021.
