Honeywell and PRODWAYS GROUP Innovation With 3D PrintingAdditive manufacturing is helping us trim many months off the development timeline for a next-generation family of turbofan engines that could transform the future of flight. In fact, we’re one of the first jet engine manufacturers to use ceramic 3D printed molds to make turbine blades. “Traditionally, turbine blades are made through an investment casting process that only a few foundries in the world can handle,” said Honeywell Chief Manufacturing Engineer Brian Baughman. “It involves machining extremely complex metal dies and tooling to create ceramic molds, which are then cast with a molten superalloy to form the blades.” Today, we’re using vat-based high-resolution 3D printing technology to process ceramic slurry and print the molds directly. Utilizing a state-of-the-art printer developed by 3D industrial printing pioneer Prodways Group, we’ve dramatically reduced the time and cost of producing first-stage high pressure turbine blades. “With the conventional investment casting process, it can take one to two years to produce the turbine blades needed for the development process,” said Mike Baldwin, Principal R&D Scientist. “Additive manufacturing lets us take the design, print the mold, cast it, test it and get real numbers to validate our models – all in just seven to eight weeks. If we need to tweak the design, we can change it electronically and get another blade in about six weeks.” Before 3D printing, even minor changes to the blade design could be very costly, he said. “Additive manufacturing enables rapid prototyping and gives us greater flexibility to accelerate development, manage costs and create the best possible product for our customers. Reducing development cycle time is our primary objective, but we also anticipate saving several million dollars in development costs compared to using the traditional blade casting process.” In 2023, we installed Prodways' newest MOVINGLight printer, the ProMaker Ceram Pro 365, at our additive manufacturing center in Phoenix. It’s the latest example of a deep technical collaboration that started in 2016, and has seen multiple L5000 printers added to our fleet of Prodways machines. “Our 3D printers are a perfect match for this use case,” said Michaël Ohana, Prodways Group CEO. “We can process ceramic slurries to build a large number of parts in a single day and deliver consistent manufacturing results at every print.” Additive manufacturing is ideal for producing precision components in relatively low volumes, Baughman said. “Low volumes are often a struggle since the upfront tooling cost for a turbine blade is very high and fabrication requires a long lead time. Additive manufacturing makes a lot of sense in cases like this.” Honeywell began additive manufacturing in 2007 at our lab in Phoenix. Today, we produce hundreds of aircraft components with 3D printing, and have expanded our industry-leading efforts to our operations in China, Europe, India and across the United States. As a leading provider of turbine propulsion engines for business aircraft, military trainers and helicopters, we are actively developing a new family of turbofan engines that will be lighter, quieter and more powerful, and able to run on 100% sustainable aviation fuel.

75: Analyzing ASML Sales Decline Potential Bearish MomentumIn light of the recent downturn in ASML sales, it's prudent to assess potential implications for the stock's trajectory. ASML faces lower than expected orders in Q1 amid industry downturn. CEO Peter Wennink remains optimistic about sector recovery in 2024. Orders dip to €3.6 billion, revenue at €5.3 billion. Our initial target lies at 826.1, where we anticipate a consolidation phase. However, if selling pressure persists, we could foresee a drop to 688.6. Monitoring validation of short positions is crucial. Conversely, stabilization around 826.1 could signify a potential reversal and pave the way for renewed upward momentum. Keeping a close eye on market dynamics and key support levels will be paramount in navigating ASML's current trajectory.

[ATO] French Stock for lotto playHere is a bleeding stock on the French market with very bad managment and fondamental side. The shares are going for dilution soon. So why I am speaking about it ? Because this stock is the one from a great French Company (or was) and we potentially can except it to rise up again if great change are made. "When there is blood in the streets" is time to buy but not without a proper strategy and here we start to see a potential long level of rejection. Great Trade !

Investment Opportunity SOCIETE GENERALEWe can observe a major wyckoff in place, the liquidity of previous all time lows was taken before initiating a massive upside move, the price is now consolidating on the market shift, creating another wyckoff in lower timeframe (Weekly/Monthly). I'm expecting the price to reach my demande zone (14.5$ to 18$ in grey) before initiating an upside move to reach 37$ first and then 55$ and even more. Downside risk 20% Upside profit 200% and more.
