Swapneel Kulkarni’s Post

Proud to work alongside talented engineers like Swapneel Kulkarni and Kevin Barry, PhD, whose expertise spans fundamentals, manufacturing, supply chain, and business development. Their commitment to pushing boundaries inspires me and elevates Ateios' mission. This article highlights their incredible work in addressing one of the toughest challenges in battery manufacturing—precision die-cutting of electrodes, which account for 85% of a battery's cost. Collaborating with Joe Sampair at Mathias Die Company, they’ve showcased solutions for the incumbent (PVDF/NMP) and RaiCore™ electrodes, paving the way for higher quality, better yields, and improved scalability. Check out their work featured in Converting Quarterly. It’s a great example of the innovative engineering we’re fostering at Ateios. 👏 Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/geqxc-zx #BatteryInnovation #ManufacturingExcellence #Electrodes #DieCutting #EngineeringLeadership

🔋 Did you know that electrodes comprise 85% of a battery's total cost? Their delicate nature makes precision cutting—a.k.a. die-cutting in the converting industry—a real challenge. Ensuring clean cuts without burrs or deformation is crucial for quality, high yields, and performance. 👏 Huge kudos to our leading engineers, Swapneel Kulkarni and Kevin Barry, PhD, for teaming with Joe Sampair at Mathias Die Company to share their findings on die-cutting solutions on incumbent and RaiCore™ electrodes. Their work, featured in Converting Quarterly, marks a significant step toward enhancing precision and scalability in battery manufacturing. 🚀 We have provided the article here, but you are welcome to read the entire report at this link. https://lnkd.in/geqxc-zx #BatteryTech #ManufacturingInnovation #Teamwork

Join me at the Battery Show next week, Wednesday Oct. 9th at 11am, to dive deeper into understanding cell testing and why ultra-high resolution data are needed to speed up battery development. We all need to challenge the way we think about battery data. What are we really measuring when we test a cell? Which degradation mechanisms occur at rates within the noise of our test systems? What if we could measure these mechanisms? In this talk I will share some exciting updates about how NOVONIX is working with partners to promote advanced data tools and techniques, as well as share some informative case studies of how NOVONIX UHPC can significantly impact development cycles: - Lifetime prediction based on machine learning models - In-field performance due to cell orientation - Materials selection and implications on QC/QA - and more!

🔋 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 In battery technology, every advancement counts. One of the most complex challenges is precisely dispensing 2K Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) like viscous gap fillers in Cell-to-Pack and Module-to-Pack applications. Traditional round nozzles struggle here, often leading to increased cycle times and the need for added processes to ensure even material spread. 🔧 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘇𝘇𝗹𝗲𝘀: 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 While flat nozzles are known, designing them to dispense <1 mm bead widths and achieve 70 mm wide, uniform lines with viscous materials is a feat thought unattainable. Through innovations in nozzle design, software-driven precision, and specialized dispensing expertise, bdtronic has made this “impossible” task a reality. This breakthrough doesn’t just improve consistency—it optimizes cycle time, streamlining production. Curious about how we can bring new efficiencies to your production line? 👇 Watch the movie below and get in touch with us! #bdtronic #TIM #batteries #thermalmanagement
