Understanding the main aluminum surface treatment technologies and knowing how to select the most suitable finish based on the application is a fundamental step in obtaining reliable, repeatable components that are consistent with design requirements.

The manufacturing industry is experiencing a new revolution: Industry 5.0. If Industry 4.0 brought automation, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to production processes, Industry 5.0 focuses on the human factor. But what does “human-centered manufacturing” really mean?

Additive manufacturing represents a true industrial revolution, offering new opportunities for product design, production and customization. Although there is still room for improvement, this technology is rapidly maturing and is set to transform the way we produce and consume.

For years, lead has been a fundamental component in metal alloys. Today, thanks to increasingly stringent regulations and a growing awareness of the risks to health and the environment, we are witnessing a real revolution in the sector.
