Belotti ARC – Automatic Riveting Cell, is a first-on-the-market integrated system, designed in partnership with Cosberg to automatically manage multiple types of Rivets and Time-Sert® with a single device. This new revolutionary robotic cell features an under-patent riveting head designed for the rapid, automated application of the entire range of Time-Sert® inserts and Rivets of different diameters on composite frames and components across multiple industries – including automotive and aerospace – a task traditionally performed manually by the operators. Many parts made of composite materials, including frames, monocoques, doors, roofs, and structural elements for the automotive sector, and wings and various aircraft components, are characterized by thin thicknesses that do not allow for sufficiently strong surfaces to insert fasteners necessary to ensure the assembly of various elements together. Belotti ARC enables a precise application of key elements, ensuring a one-of-a-kind fast, flexible, and under-controlled execution. Main Benefits This new technology represents a significant leap forward in optimizing composite material machining and assembly processes. Main benefits: - One Head, Multiple Inserts: Rivets and Time-Sert® inserts of different diameters are managed automatically by a single device. - Maximum Flexibility & Reachability: the anthropomorphic robot emulates the flexibility of the human wrist, enabling access to even the most challenging areas. - Easy & Intuitive Programming: ISO programming language for seamless operation. - Quality without Compromise: the advanced, fully electronic system enables precise control of all parameters. - Precision under Control: real-time process tracking and feedback for unmatched accuracy. - Redefining Productivity: faster, more flexible, and cost-effective fastening technology.

BEAD is Belotti hybrid technology that integrates Large Scale Additive Manufacturing with the milling process in a single machining center. BEAD exploits the best of both worlds combining the speed and creative potential of 3D printing with the precision and reliability of a cnc center in a single system. Through the integration of a CEAD extruder for additive manufacturing (of variable dimensions and capacity) in a Belotti 5-axis CNC machining center, BEAD allows the production of parts that are sufficiently oversized to be finished to the required tolerances with times and raw materials consumption lower than traditional methods. The application potential of this solution is endless: the first sectors that are targeted are the aerospace, automotive and marine for which moulds, patterns, tools and final parts were produced. BEAD solution can be possible in different configurations with variable build volumes, extrusion outputs and printing orientations. BEAD finds application in the aerospace, automotive, marine and design industries, allowing for the production of moulds, plugs and autoclave toolings through the use of different materials, from commodity to high performance fiber reinforced polymers. The 3D printing process uses composite pellets made of a thermoplastic polymer matrix and different types of fibers as reinforcement, from glass to carbon and natural fibers. Polymers range from commodity (PP, PETG…) to high performance materials (PESU, PEEK…). Differently from thermosettings, thermoplastics could be recyclable and re-used, making the process even more sustainable and less environmentally impacting.

Dura can design, build and install bespoke solutions to exactly meet your requirements. We are proud to have our own in-house design team with our UK-based manufacturing facility boasting the latest technology. Combined with our near three-decades of experience, we are uniquely positioned to understand your wants and needs to create a solution that exactly meets your every requirement. One example of this is the Fluid Service Bench, a concept created by a long standing Dura customer and created specifically for the customer. Alf England, a four-generation motorcycle dealer, has utilised Dura furniture in workshops for more than 20 years. In 2023, the business approached Dura with a new challenge; a completely one-off piece of furniture, designed by the technicians to exactly meet their needs. Working hand-in-hand, Dura's designers turned a simple sketch into a world-class piece of bespoke workshop furniture. ​ Within a space of just six months, Alf England’s idea had gone from a simple concept sketch to a fully installed, one-off workspace. The final piece was designed and built to their specification. Fully manufactured and installed by Dura, it now equips Alf England to offer a unique, industry leading service, expanding their service offer, customer base and ultimately enhancing the company’s bottom line. Today, Alf England’s technicians have a world-class environment to complete specialist tasks. This clean space is essential to many of these tasks, which can now be completed with greater ease and efficiency. Features, such as the retractable drip tray, increase the safety, efficiency, and practicality of the space to unparalleled levels. Aesthetically, the space reflects the same levels of professionalism as Alf England and its employees. It inspires confidence in their customers who entrust their motorbikes with the team at Alf England.

3D Printers for large format additive manufacturing. BigRep manufactures large-scale, industrial 3D printers designed for creating sizable, full-scale components, and can even handle substantial quantities of smaller items in a single print run. These printers boast an impressive build volume of up to 1 cubic metre, which is sufficiently spacious to accommodate two baby elephants or equivalently matches the printing capacity of approximately 40 desktop printers!

Your reliable partner for drying, storing, and tempering 3D printer filaments for maximum part performance. MAXIMIZE YOUR PART'S PERFORMANCE The DRYCON is the only dual-chamber machine on the market that combines three functions: drying, storage, and tempering. It was designed to be the perfect partner for your 3D printer, helping you unlock the full potential of your additive manufacturing process. DRYCON Delivers Quality Improve the quality, strength, and durability of your 3D prints. Through drying, optimal storage, and tempering, you ensure your parts perform at their best and are durable. WHY DRY FILAMENTS? Improves Print Quality Hygroscopic filaments absorb moisture, leading to bubbles, holes, and poor layer bonding. Drying ensures a smooth surface and higher print quality. Increases Print Success Rate Moisture in filaments leads to irregular flow, causing under- or over-extrusion, stringing, and bleeds. Drying filaments can reduce print errors and failures. Keeps filaments print-ready Completely dried and optimally stored filaments save valuable time. Drying saves you the time required for pre-printing steps, allowing you to start printing immediately. Ensures dimensional accuracy Wet filaments expand unevenly during printing, leading to warping and inaccuracies. Drying ensures precise prints by preserving the material's original shape. Improves mechanical strength Prints made with wet filament are weaker and prone to cracking. Dry filaments, on the other hand, ensure better layer adhesion and more robust prints.

Bladder moulding is a technique where a custom-made inflated silicone pressure bag or a solid silicone intensifier provides the consolidation pressure within a fully enclosed tooling system, this process uses aluminium tooling, which is placed into a heated platen press for the curing cycle. This method is faster than autoclave processing due to the ability to heat tools more quickly and demould at elevated temperatures. Bladder mould tooling produces hollow or single-sided parts, similar to an autoclave. However, it allows for undercuts and intricate details due to the high pressures involved and the ability to use removable inserts in the aluminium tooling. One side/ the outer surface of the component will have a tooled ‘A’ surface, while the other, or internal surface, will be the ‘B’ or bag surface. Bladder moulding is not limited to monolithic components; foam cores can be used to add stiffness to specific or larger areas and composite hardpoints can be co cured in position. One of the overarching benefits to using aluminium tooling and heated press curing is that bladder moulding, and compression moulding can be combined in hybrid tools offering the precision and surface complexity of compression moulding along with the tooling simplicity of using a pressure bag.
