1. You Can Have Your Railway and Print It Too
The world’s first 3D-printed railway station was completed. Additive manufacturing has come a long way, but we are still stunned by its speed! Finished in fewer than six hours, the folks at Anisoprint got it done.
2. Stainless Steel Gets a Haircut
We can’t always articulate why a video is so engaging to watch. This laser-cutting video by Metallurgical Engineering is immensely satisfying. Cozy up with a bag of popcorn and watch the sparks fly!
3. Human Passenger Rocket Flights Are Ongoing
Pluto Aerospace has completed its second successful flight with paid passengers on its Dash prototype, a low-cost hypersonic testbed. Turn on Elton John’s Rocket Man and be inspired to join in the fun.
4. Where High Temp Insulation and Mona Lisa Kiss
Chiz Bros is donating a beautiful piece of art called Bessemer Reflections: Steel in Your Face. That image fittingly reminds us that metal work is both science and craft.
5. Heat Treatment Gets a Taste of Dijon
Dijon, France that is. Our European representative, Hamilton Pearman, recently attended the A3TS Annual Conference and Heat Treatments and Surface Engineering Show! A shout out to all of our materials science and thermal processing buffs who also attended!
6. The Summer Camp You Always Wanted
Did you know that Forging Industry Educational and Research Foundation puts on a Forge the Future Summer Camp? You know how we at Heat Treat Today love our Heat Treat Kids, and now we can’t wait to send them off to get their little toes wet in heat treatment.
