On this Technology Tuesdays Podcast for 2/24/15, Michael Jermann, assistant editor for Design World, speaks with Joe Conyers, senior consulting engineer for training and development at SKF Training Solutions. They discuss the common bearing lubrication mistakes users tend to make and how engineers are addressing the problem.

Underwriters Laboratories is working to address the short-term and long-term performance and safety concerns of 3D printers and additive manufacturing systems. Recently, UL initiated a number of initiatives that will help designers confidently harness the benefits of 3D printing in a way that’s relevant to their business needs.

A debate is going on in the additive manufacturing and manufacturing world, with some proponents pushing for the elimination of traditional manufacturing methods (such as CNCs and injection molding) in favor of solely additive manufacturing. For Skyven Technologies, a Texas-based manufacturer of solar technologies, CNCs, injection molding and additive manufacturing are needed to develop its Skyven Cogen System that simultaneously produces energy for both electrical power and heated water.
