New computer-aided ‘predictive technology’ has potential to save industry time, money and reduce wastage. Engineers at the University of Leicester have invented a new technique in the manufacture of ...

Feb. 28 (UPI) --Industrial kilns, the commercial ovens used to fire bathroom tiles and tableware, operate at temperatures in excess of 1,000 degrees Celsius. Scientists at ETH Zurich have found a way ...

A study has developed an innovative method that overcomes the limitations of traditional additive manufacturing (3D printing), significantly simplifying and accelerating the production of ...

Ceramic materials are gaining relevance in Additive Manufacturing (AM), although the lack of standardized process parameters limits the repeatability and comparability of printed parts. This study ...

A new techno-economic analysis, by a team led by a researcher from WMG at the University of Warwick, shows that the energy intensive ceramic industry would gain both financial and environmental ...

The ceramic industry generates significant amounts of wastewater, which contains many corrosive ions that pose extensive hazard to the integrity of piping systems, equipment, and machinery, resulting ...

Engineers at the University of Leicester have invented a new technique in the manufacture of ceramics that has the potential to save the industry time and costs while reducing wastage. The novel ...
