A failed 3D print rarely happens for just one reason.

Most print issues come down to a handful of repeatable variables, and knowing where to look can save hours of troubleshooting.

These two guides make it easier to diagnose problems quickly and get back to consistent, reliable parts.

The conversation around PFAS isn't going away, and engineers are being asked more questions than ever.

Whether you're evaluating materials, reviewing specifications, or looking to stay ahead of regulatory changes, understanding the basics is becoming increasingly important.

In this short video, dry-tech® National Sales Manager Cody Hovdet explains the basics of PFAS and how we’ve developed PFAS-tested and PTFE-free components to support smarter design choices.

The most expensive machine failure is usually the one you never saw coming. 🎰

Today may be the 13th, but with igus® smart plastics, you can prevent bad luck from causing unplanned downtime, and costly maintenance long before it happens.

Our predictive maintenance and condition monitoring solutions include:

✔️ Break detection — Prevent costly system damage in an instant
✔️ Push/pull force monitoring — Avoid unexpected machine downtime
✔️ Real-time status monitoring — Know exactly when maintenance is needed
✔️ Wear detection — Identify your e-chain’s condition at a glance

What if your conveyor rollers never needed re-lubrication?

Overhead conveyor rollers do a lot of work in a tight footprint, often in places that are hard to reach for routine relubrication.

That is where xiros® polymer ball bearings stand out:
✅ Maintenance-free, self-lubricating, no grease needed
✅ Corrosion resistant, with chemical resistant material options
✅ Quiet-running with low vibration for long conveyor loops
✅ Configurable designs to match your roller and carrier setup

Manual pipetting demands 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 for hours at a time. And when fatigue sets in, results can drift.

The challenge isn’t technique, it’s repeatability over time:
• Higher risk of inconsistent dispensing over long runs
• Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) from repeated hand motions
• More exposure risk when working with hazardous samples
• In some workflows, manual pipetting can take over 80% of the workday

We put together a practical article on how automation can 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆, plus where manual vs semi-automated vs automated pipetting makes sense.

The most expensive crane component is often the one nobody thinks about until it fails.

Whether operating in a port, a production facility, or a cold-storage warehouse, cranes depend on one thing: reliable movement. And behind that movement is a cable system exposed to long travel distances, harsh weather, extreme temperatures, and constant mechanical stress.

It's a challenge shared across many industries. The application may differ, but the requirement is the same: deliver power and data reliably, day after day, without becoming a source of downtime.

That's where chainflex comes in. From TPE cables designed for demanding outdoor environments to PVC options for indoor applications, chainflex cables are engineered for dynamic motion and paired with energy chain systems that support reliable operation over long distances.

Different cranes. Different environments. Same engineering challenge: keeping critical equipment moving when every minute of downtime has a cost.

👉 What this means for you: no matter where, no matter when – chainflex delivers.
