This week we welcome Dr. Peter Highlander on the show to discuss how 3D printing is changing the world of orthopedics.
Dr Highlander, DPM is a Reconstructive Foot & Ankle Surgeon in Sandusky, OH and has been practicing for 7 years. On this episode he'll be discussing how 3D technology is revolutionizing the medical field by creating prosthetic limbs for amputees, new faces for trauma victims, and practice models for orthopedic implant surgeons.

This week, I welcome Michael Mo CEO of Kulr, a company using carbon fiber technology to make electronics safer, cooler and lighter.
KULR Technology Corporation owns proprietary carbon fiber based thermal management solutions that are generally more effective at storing, conducting, and dissipating waste heat generated by an electronic system’s internal components.
Their proprietary carbon fiber-based architecture replaces less efficient aluminum and copper based heat spreaders and exchangers, which are energy intensive and less environmentally friendly to produce.
Carbon fibers have small diameters approximately 5 to 10um, yet they are strong and stiff compared to other conductive materials such as metal. Carbon fiber also has good thermal conductivity, even several times higher than copper when it is suitably processed for thermal performance.
On this episode, Michael will be discussing his company's history as well as the different technologies and applications it is being used for. These applications range from protecting batteries in electric cars to helping NASA prevent catastrophic fires in vehicles or space suits.

This week on the show, we welcome Anoosheh Oskouian, CEO of Ship and Shore Environmental, Inc. Ship and Shore Environmental is a Long Beach, Calif.-based company specializing in air pollution capture and control systems for industrial applications. Ship & Shore helps major manufacturers meet Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) abatement challenges by providing customized energy-efficient air pollution abatement systems for various industries, resulting in improved operational efficiency and tailored "green" solutions.
In September 2017, S&SE launched a "Keeping Up with the EPA Campaign" effort to help companies address concerns and meet regulations, while saving time and energy.
Anoosheh Oskouian is a chemical engineer who is very active in the U.S. pollution control industry.
On this episode, we'll be discussing the current administrations environmental policies and what it means for manufacturers today. We'll also be discussing Ship & Shore Environmental's recent projects for helping manufacturers meet air quality requirements.
On today's episode, we discuss Elium®, the first liquid thermoplastic resin designed for manufacturing composite parts with mechanical properties similar to thermosetting.
Our guests on the show are Dana Swan and Stan Howard from Arkema. Arkema is a specialty chemicals and advanced materials company headquartered in Colombes, near Paris, France. Their US headquarters is located in King of Prussia, PA.
On this episode, we'll be discussing the major advantages of Elium® which include it's ability to act like a thermoplastic. This means it is uniquely designed for thermoforming, recycling and welding.
This week we welcome Dr. Jerome Hajjar on the show. Dr. Hajjar is a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University. His research has been focused on composite steel and concrete structures for earthquake engineering and structural stability.
On this episode we'll be discussing some of his own research in seismic structural stability and the opportunities for composite suppliers and fabricators in this area.
This week I welcome Morten NormanLund of GXN on the show to discuss BioBuild, a collaborativeresearch project of 13 partners who worked together to design andfabricate four building systems made of bio-composites, provingthat bio-composite materials have the required fire resistance,durability, mechanical performance and thermal conductivity toserve the building industry.
The goal of BioBuild was to usebio-composites to reduce the embodied energy in building materialsby 50% without an increase in cost.
BioBuild won a JEC InnovationAward in 2015 (JEC is a non-profit association that is dedicated tothe promotion of composites.
