Firstly, we offer congratulations to one of our collaborators, Space DOTS, for their successful seed funding bid which will enable them to revolutionise advanced materials testing in space environments. We've come across self-healing metals, an AI-enabled nose which sniffs out harmful molecules, the successful testing of a flying car and the Webb telescope capturing amazing footage of new stars being born. Plus, if you haven’t already, we’ve included our July podcast for easy listening as you head into the weekend.

3D Printing Materials: What are 3D Printed Products Really Made From?

Industry falls in love as Goodfellow's Head of Technical, Dr Aphrodite Tomou, is named an Exemplar in The Manufacturer's Top 100 on Wednesday, 7 June 2023. 

This month, we discuss Goodfellow’s upcoming appearances at events and rare Earth Metal Oxides, available from Goodfellow.

Dr Jason Jackson, Technical Specialist at Goodfellow Cambridge, explains how close collaboration helped find the elusive materials required to illuminate the emergency and evacuation tunnels for CERN. DPA finds out more…

Goodfellow Cambridge pushes the next frontier with £1m opportunity at Space-Comm Expo.

Helping companies and agencies push the boundaries of space exploration and ‘in-space’ production is driving a major new opportunity for Goodfellow Cambridge.

The specialist supplier of materials and metals has seen interest in its range grow over 300% in the last three years, driven by a need for lighter and smaller components for use in satellites, robotic arms, telescopes, and the Cassini-Huygens probe that was used to study the planet Saturn and its environment.

Boosted by this £1m+ opportunity, the Huntingdon-based company is set to take its largest ever presence at the Space-Comm Expo 2023, which is due to be held in Farnborough (June 7th-8th) and will attract thousands of delegates and the legendary UK astronaut Tim Peake.

The introduction of MACOR® material revolutionised the world of machinable ceramics. Historically, ceramics such as alumina and zirconia have been used to manufacture thermo-resistant components across multiple sectors. Whilst these traditional ceramics possess many desirable properties - and hold great value within manufacturing - they can be notoriously difficult to machine.

Beryllium is a particularly important chemical in today's world, delivering superior performance and reliability, with rising demand across multiple industries. Its interesting array of properties make beryllium the must-have metal for an extensive range of applications across multiple sectors, including, but not limited to, aerospace, medical, automotive, energy, and communications.
