Durability tests of 3D printed water-hydraulic proportional directional control valves

Despite the fact that water is rarely used in power-control hydraulics (PCH), advanced technologies such as 3D printing of metal components are opening new possibilities for the wider adoption of water PCH. With metal 3D printing, valve mass can be significantly reduced while improving flow characteristics, thanks to the ability to produce complex internal geometries not achievable with traditional methods.

LEAP – razvoj zaščitne embalaže iz alternativnih lignoceluloznih vlaken

Laboratorij LADISK na Fakulteti za strojništvo Univerze v Ljubljani deluje kot koordinator projekta LEAP, katerega cilj je razvoj naslednje generacije trajnostne funkcionalne em- balaže. Ta vključuje gradnike iz odpadne biomase invazivnih tujerodnih rastlinskih vrst in omogoča izdelavo novih, konstrukcijsko visoko zmogljivih embalažnih rešitev. Projekt je izjemno pomemben, saj se osredotoča na trajnostni prehod v krožno ekonomijo, ki te- melji na biološki razgradljivosti in zmanjšanju porabe deviških materialnih virov, obenem pa obravnava problematiko recikliranja odpadkov tujerodnih rastlinskih vrst.

Overview of adsorption thermal storage technologies

Current energy policies focus on transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, whose main drawback is their intermittency. To address this challenge, seasonal thermal storage systems are being developed, enabling the storage and use of heat over extended periods, typically several months or even an entire season.

Key steps for establishing sustainable production

In a modern industrial environment, manufacturing facilities include various systems and processes, such as assembly, welding, machining and cutting, which are used to produce parts and finished products. With the world’s transition to sustainable practices, encouraged by global and European regulations, companies need to align their operations to achieve sustainable development goals.
