Electroerosion machining is a technology that allows difficult and precision work to be carried out that was previously almost impossible. It is a type of machining by removal that is applied to electrically conductive materials, such as steel and other metals, alloys, graphite or ceramics. Electroerosion machining is also known as spark erosion and EDM
Industrial tightness tests are performed to ensure the tightness of products or materials and prevent failures. In this article we explain what they consist of! Definition of leaktightness Tightness is a property that is characterized by the ability to prevent the penetration of external elements inside a part, circuit or housing, whether they are fluids,
Over time, industrial packaging design has become an indispensable factor when it comes to protecting products from the risks that may be associated with storage and transportation. In this article we explain what it is and why packaging design is becoming more and more important in the industry. What is product packaging? Packaging refers to
Quality control ensures the maintenance or improvement of a product and its manufacturing stages, which is essential in the 21st century industry. In this article we explain what we mean when we talk about quality control, the different types and their techniques. What is quality control and what is its purpose? Quality control is a
The application of quality metrics in industrial manufacturing allows engineering teams to measure the effectiveness of production processes with the goal of improving productivity and driving peak performance. However, we need to know which indicators are capable of providing meaningful insight. That is why, in this article, we explain what quality parameters are, what they
Failures and failure modes, i.e., the loss of characteristics or functions of a product or material, produce a series of effects that must be determined in order to solve them. In this article we analyze what is the term failure mode and what are the types of failures that can occur in materials. What does
Porter’s value chain is a very effective business strategy to achieve a competitive advantage, an essential factor in any innovative project. In this article we explain what value chain analysis consists of. What is value chain analysis? Porter’s value chain is a business management concept developed by Michael Porter in his book Competitive Advantage (1985).
The attraction that Eva Pacheco (Alicante, 1992) feels for knowing and understanding how things work has remained a constant throughout her life. With a broad training achieved after graduating in Chemical Engineering at the University of Alicante and in the qualifying master’s degree in Chemical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid – with a
Infinitia’s Strategic Design team uses in-depth interviews with end consumers in order to validate a concept, an idea or a solution, and to measure the interest of these potential users in them. Understood as a method of qualitative analysis, we believe it is necessary to focus on this tool because of its efficiency and the
Process reengineering achieves cost reductions both within an organization and in product development. At the same time, it focuses on eliminating redundant business processes and reorganizing the workflow. In this article we explain what it is and what steps are required to carry out BPR (Business Process Re-engineering). What is process reengineering? Process reengineering is
Materials have different properties that make them unique. Knowing them will ensure that we select materials with the right properties to develop a given product. In this article we will see what and which are the properties of materials that we need to know in the industry. What are material properties? Properties are factors that
Julián Lizán (Zaragoza, 1990), Industrial Design and Product Development Engineer at Infinitia, marks two milestones in a career that began almost ten years ago. In 2012 he won a research grant from the Government of Spain with which he joined the HowLab group at the University of Zaragoza. In that entry into the professional world,
