ESD protection may not be the first thing you think about when you enter Antarctica. For most, the singular thought of cold permeates all consciousness and everything else follows thereafter.
Antarctica is the largest desert in the world as well as being the coldest, windiest, highest and driest continent on Earth – yet it holds 90% of all of the fresh water on the planet.
Temperatures can dip all the way down to -133º, or soar upwards to 58º.
Intercept Technology now offers a 3D printable ribbon. Correspondingly, the world is demanding faster, better, and more immediate availability of custom products when the customer wants it. 3D printing is able to provide users the ability to build complex functional items quickly, efficiently, and on demand.
However, the functionality of 3D printing did not include products that were useful for anti-corrosion and/or ESD protection for components or parts in an assembly. EMI has changed that reality.
As we approach peak season for static discharge (ESD), this is the time of year that the leaves change. The summer heat has dissipated and gives us cool nights, and this particular time gets very spooky. Things scurry about and go unnoticed in the night. Little scratches and scrapes of wind, usually dismissed, put us a bit more on edge. Moreover, just when our nerves reach a fevered pitch, the doorbell rings… “Happy Halloween”.
