Storing 3D printing filaments has never been so easy, thanks to the new Smart Cabinet from BCN3D – a world leading developer and manufacturer of integrated 3D desktop solutions. 

A revolutionary new solution that has been developed to preserve filament printability, extend its shelf life, reduce aesthetic defects and avoid costly reprints, the BCN3D Smart Cabinet maintains a constant dry environment around stored spools of filament to protect them from sudden external changes.

Bringing a step-change in 3D printing, the Smart Cabinet overcomes the common problem of filament degradation due to humidity, whilst its uninterruptable power supply protects work and minimises the risk of losing a print job because of power outages – all in one easy to use, portable unit.

Enerpac announces a new 100-ton capacity hydraulic Sync Grip Puller for the safe and controlled removal of bearings, bushing, gears and pins from shafts during vehicle and machinery maintenance. 

As with all pullers in the Sync Grip line, the new 100-Ton SGH100 model features simple, synchronous movement. The sync grip mechanism synchronises movement of all jaws for simultaneous engagement, enhancing the operator’s control over the tool and simplifying set-up. Hydraulic puller jaws fit around the part to be removed, while the spindle applies up to 100 tons of force to remove it. Hydraulically applied pulling force increases pulling capacity and reduces operator fatigue, enabling quicker and easier operation.

Even before summertime hits, we have already seen some good BBQ weather, with the mercury rising and letting us enjoy the great outdoors.
