*From the Report:*

· In SmarTech’s currently forecasted timeline, ceramics AM adoption will experience an inflection point after 2025 as all major AM technologies that support ceramics production come to maturity and enjoy a presence in the market to support actual serial production. SmarTech is currently forecasting that this shift will be driven by imitating and benefiting from the experience of powder metal additive manufacturing. In particular, the adoption of CIM- (ceramics injection molding) based additive manufacturing processes is expected to drive larger batch production in the same way as MIM- (metal injection molding) based additive processes are now expected to significantly expand AM adoption and throughput capabilities, lowering costs.· Final parts value for both technical and traditional ceramic parts is expected to represent the most significant opportunities driving the market for the medium to long term future. Compared to relatively low revenues generated by technical and traditional ceramic materials, this trend indicated that in ceramics AM more than in any other material family, the primary “value is in the process”. This means that additively manufacturing a ceramic part increases the value of the material used to produce it several times.· Ceramics AM technologies are now largely available so perhaps the biggest challenge to address today is the creation of market demand. Many companies that produce ceramic components, especially advanced ceramic components, could be benefiting significantly from subassemblies and DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) ceramic parts but in many cases still need to imagine, envision, design and develop the parts that will make ceramic AM processes and materials truly cost effective.

KEMP, Texas, Oct. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics, a leading manufacturer of portable power distribution systems, announced the release of a 30 KVA mobile power distribution unit that converts 480VAC three phase electrical current into three phase 208Y/120VAC, allowing operators to tap into 480V power from generators, direct grid power and other sources. This power distribution system is mounted on a thick carbon steel cart with locking casters and is ideal for indoor and outdoor power distribution.The MGS-4X480.30A-12X277.20A-30KVA-2X120.20A portable power distribution station gives operators the ability to power their 208Y and 120-volt equipment from a single system. On the primary side, operators connect 480V line-in power via cam-lock inputs to four, M35 P29059-M1.22 480V receptacles for 480V equipment and to twelve, M35 P29030-M1.22 277V receptacles for 277V equipment. On the secondary side, operators connect to two, GFCI duplex 120V receptacles for 120V equipment. Operators may add additional outlets via three boxes with blank covers.
