Développement d’un imprimante 3D pour l’aluminium

Les procédés de fabrication additive telle la fusion laser sur lit de poudre connait un intérêt croissant dans la communauté industrielle et universitaire, car ils permettent de réduire les temps de production, de produire moins de déchets et permettent la fabrication de pièces plus complexes sans augmenter les couts. Toutefois, ce procédé est moins bien […]

Effective concrete mixes for Saskatchewan side walks using locally available pop-out prone aggregates

A disturbing number of aggregate pop-out cases have recently been observed in newly poured concrete throughout the City of Saskatoon. A “pop-out” is a small, often cone-shaped void in a horizontal concrete surface left after a near-surface aggregate particle has fractured. Aggregate pop-outs can accelerate the deterioration of concrete sidewalks and can result in safety […]

Sustainable Energy Production Using Biomass Gasification

Considerable growth in the global population and economy leads to an increase in fuel demand. This requires production of clean fuels with minimum CO2 emissions to maintain climate, energy, political, and social security. Hydrogen is a promising carbon-free fuel that can be produced from various renewable sources such as wind and biological systems. The microalgal […]

Automatisation de protocoles biologiques à l’aide d’un robot collaboratif

La robotique collaborative offre de nouvelles possibilités d’automatisation particulièrement intéressantes pour exécuter des protocoles complexes de biologie moléculaire en utilisant des instruments conventionnels en laboratoire. Ceci permet d’automatiser des protocoles impossibles ou difficiles à l’aide de plateformes robotiques habituellement employées en sciences biologiques, en utilisant plutôt un bras robotique UR3 offrant une liberté de mouvement […]

Pitting behavior of a novel stainless steel for additive manufacturing

The last twenty years have seen whirlwind advancement in production of metallic parts via additive manufacturing (AM). This technology has surpassed its origins in manufacturing titanium parts; additive manufacturing is now applicable to a vast range of alloys, including stainless steels. The principal advantage of constructing parts layer by layer is to afford the capacity […]
