Internal cooling channels: Challenges, potential for gear applications
Internal cooling channels have shown great promise in improving the performance of components such as injection molds and rocket engines. These conformal cooling channels have been hypothesized as value-adding enhancements to gear systems. But challenges remain to further consider and actualize these concepts.

Shaping NASA’s Space Future
In the last month, NASA has shown how 3D printing is becoming an indispensable tool for the future of space exploration. From testing new materials in the most extreme environments to envisioning on-demand solutions for long-duration missions, these stories highlight how NASA uses 3D printing not just to explore space but to transform the way we think about it. These four breakthroughs illustrate how 3D printing is becoming a key component of NASA’s journey to explore and understand the universe.

Expectations for a Chemically-Accelerated Super-finishing Process – Part 2/3
In the previous article, we discussed the fact that chemically accelerated/assisted superfinishing, also known as isotropic superfinishing, was introduced into the gear industry more than twenty years ago. Since that time, it has become widely accepted as a solution for numerous gear failure modes and performance enhancements.
