This video from Multi-Scale Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich demonstrates variable stiffness catheters. They are typically composed of an encapsulated core made from a low melting point alloy or a thermoplastic polymer.
A simple but most effective and very flexible vacuum furnace setup, the single-chamber furnace, consists of one chamber in which the workpiece is both heated (convectively, through vacuum heating) and cooled. Cooling or quenching is accomplished by a closed-loop cooling system. The pressure vessel is filled with inert gas. This gas is circulated inside the […]
