Lucideon’s Chief Strategy Officer, Anike Te, will be speaking at a workshop conference titled ‘Agile Approaches for Governing Emerging Technologies’ at Université Paris Dauphine - PSL on the 3rd December 2024, contributing to a session designed to explore how governments and industry can design and implement responsible innovation around emerging technologies. Anike will be part of a panel discussion dedicated to tackling the challenges of technological convergence for governance and regulation, as the realms of digital, material, and biological tech bring forth exciting new synergies that offer both opportunities and challenges. Considerations such as biosecurity, global competition, and equity will have significant implications for the adoption of technology, and the panel will offer perspectives on evolving approaches both for specific applications and as a general matter.

Whether you're in research and development or production, real-time insights into phase transitions can significantly enhance your material performance and reduce costly experimental runs. Lucideon’s real-time high temperature x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis is particularly valuable in industries that require precision in materials development, including advanced ceramics, metals, and oxides. Real-time high temperature XRD is a powerful analytical technique used to study phase transformations in materials as they are subjected to varying temperatures. Unlike traditional XRD methods, which only capture data at a single temperature point, real-time high-temperature XRD enables continuous monitoring of material phase changes throughout heating and cooling processes. This approach provides critical insights into how materials such as ceramics, metals, and oxides behave under extreme thermal conditions, making it essential for industries like aerospace, energy, and advanced materials research. By identifying phase transitions in real-time, this method helps optimise material properties, predict performance, and accelerate development cycles. Interested in learning more?

Sir Gavin Williamson, MP for Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge, last week arrived at our site in Stone to visit The AMRICC Centre, the open-access international Centre of Excellence for advanced ceramics that is hosted and managed by Lucideon. During the visit, Sir Gavin had the opportunity to see the AMRICC Centre’s state-of-the-art equipment, discuss the future of ceramics, and understand its significance for Stone. As part of this, Lucideon CEO Tony Kinsella showcased some of the Lucideon facilities on site, illustrating the significant role that ceramics play in not only day-to-day life but also in the pathways to improved material technologies for the future. The Centre is the physical legacy of the Midlands Industrial Ceramics Group ’s £18.27 million four-year research programme, funded by Government under UK Research and Innovation’s flagship Strength in Places Fund.

Whether you are an engineer, researcher, or designer looking to explore new possibilities in ceramics, Lucideon’s expert ceramic robocasting services have been designed to provide you with flexibility and precision in ceramic product development. Ceramic robocasting, also known as Direct Ink Writing (DIW), is an advanced 3D printing technique used to create intricate ceramic structures by extruding paste in a series of layers. Unlike traditional ceramic manufacturing methods, robocasting allows for the creation of complex geometries without the need for moulds, enabling faster production and reducing material waste. This technology is ideal for prototyping, low-volume production, and testing the feasibility of innovative designs, offering a versatile solution for industries ranging from aerospace to biomedical application. Lucideon’s offering is perfect for helping our clients with prototype production and small batch manufacturing, conducting feasibility studies, and developing material formulation for ceramic 3D printing. Ceramic robocasting is ideal for creating components with unique attributes, including heat-resistant parts for aerospace and automotive applications, and ceramic components for electronic and sensor technologies. We’ve even assisted in the development of custom biomedical implants and devices, including complex scaffolds and lattices for enhanced filter tortuosity or optimised bone regeneration implants.
