Casting is a high-precision, low-cost process for manufacturing flexible thin, flat components such as acoustic membranes, battery and fuel cell separators, energy recovery membranes and filtration membranes. In contrast to precision coating, precision casting uses a release coated substrate as a carrier, which is removed before or during assembly of a final product similar to
Read MoreDesign of Experiment (DOE) is a statistical method for identifying and optimizing various process factors that affect final product specifications. In a simple example there may be two different factors that might impact the final spec, with two possible levels for each. By performing four different experiments we can identify significant levels and optimal settings
Read MoreCommercial and residential buildings account for nearly 40% of U.S. energy consumption according to the Environmental Protection Agency, so increasing efficiency is an important priority. Conserving energy to make buildings more “green” must also be balanced with maintaining a healthy and productive indoor environment. Energy recovery ventilation (ERV) technology can deliver both of these needs.
Read MoreCarestream Contract Manufacturing continually improves its coating processes through ongoing education and training for its team. As part of this initiative, Carestream recently began offering Quality Advocate Training (QAT) for all 350 Oregon plant employees. The training provides an introduction to Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma principles, which enable employees to better understand plant practices and
Read MoreWindow films can be applied for various reasons including privacy, decorative applications, and most importantly energy and light management. Experts agree that up to 20 percent of a typical building’s heat can be lost through windows and doors. Double- and triple-glazed windows and tinting treatments are often used to help minimize this heat loss and
Read MoreCarestream Contract Manufacturing enables efficient casting and coating of various portions of the device in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). These main fuel cell components may be coated or cast simultaneously in the same manufacturing cycle to help lower the development and manufacturing costs. Key capabilities we offer include
