Next Technology

In Italy there are a lot of enterprises specialized in precision mechanical manufacture both at workmanship and mass production level.

Inside a precision machine shop you can find a large rolling stock set in order to produce the more variable pieces and to carry out different kind of processing, to guarantee every customer a product exactly corresponding to his needs, always of very good quality and at an absolutely competitive price.

Enterprises that deal with mechanical and automatic lathe processing are able to start just with the design of the object needed by the customer and finally get to the real practical construction of the specific product. Precision mechanical manufactures, precision mechanical machine shop, mechanical lathe and automatic lathe manufacture are nothing but different applications – big or small – of a work method. This method enables all these machines to realize specific products according to the specific needs of every customer, who are working in different application fields. That is why mechanical lathe and automatic lathe manufacture, precision mechanical manufacture and precision mechanical machine shop can always count on a large market sector and a great customer variety.

Regarding application fields, just think about food sector, medical sector, electric sector, automobile sector…there is a very wide range of application, it’s clear that is possible to realize very small products and full of details.

In this sector is fundamental to use the more innovative machines, to offer every customer the best care of details and the less waiting time.

One of the most important appointments of this mechanical sector is the Specialized Mechanic International Fair (MECSPE), which will take place from 19th to 21th March 2009, at Parma Expo. This edition, although during a not very positive economic conjuncture, is expected to be full of contents and new technologies for the sector enterprises. There are already more than a thousand Italian and foreign companies that have decided to join this event.

An important strong point is the presence of many areas dedicated to exhibitions where many enterprises concur to the realization, directly at the fair, of a manufactured product, transforming MECSPE in a real “open house”.

This is a very important aspect in mechanical industry, which is a world where innovations achieved thanks to R&D investments very often become strategic also for other industrial sectors than the one that requested the realization.

Compared to last year, the number of these “processing islands” has increased a lot, representing also very different fields, such as medical, dental, automotive, aerospace, precision mechanic, mechanic construction and mold sectors.

The ambitious project of these “processing islands” has been created from the experience of the historical demonstration unit “From project to object”, born to promote the meeting among design, innovation and technology. In this sector virtuous circles happen very often, thanks to a strong commitment to technology transfer. This is the case of titanium, a material mainly used in aerospace sector, that thanks to its characteristics, lightness and corrosion resistance, finds many uses in other fields, like race cars.

In a few words it’s an appointment not to miss for the more important enterprises, that want to be in the forefront and always market competitive, especially in a sector where innovation and efforts on R&D sector are constant.

When you’re playing video games, it’s exciting. You’re in control. You’re pitting your intelligence and speed against a virtual enemy. It can be heart-pounding fun. It sounds glamorous to be able to play these amazing games for a living; but it’s really just a job, and can be extremely tiring. When you’re gaming for fun, you’re in charge. You play when you want to. When you get bored, you do something else. Not so with video game tester jobs. You’ll be playing the same game over and over again, not for fun, but to find bugs in the game so they can be corrected. After a while, it’s not fun-it’s work.

Having said all that, it probably makes you think that video game tester jobs are really lousy ones. Well, that’s not true either. You simply have to understand that it is a real job. It’s work; not play. Game testers are not hired to enjoy the game; they’re hired to work at making it a better game. If you love to play video games and would like a job where you can be exposed to the newest games while understanding that it is a job with responsibilities, you can have a good career and make an excellent income by becoming a professional game tester. It’s not that difficult to get into the business.

The following seven-step process has been found to be an excellent way to get that first job as a game tester. It’s all about preparation and presentation. Take some time and give it a serious look.

1. Make sure you’re the type that really enjoys playing video games. If you don’t seriously enjoy playing, you’ll end up hating the job. You’re job will be to put in a long day playing and replaying the same game in order to find problems and help eliminate them. When the problem is fixed, you’ll test again to make sure it’s gone.

2. Make sure that you understand that when you’re testing, video games are simply software files, not games. You’ll be playing, not for enjoyment, but as a sleuth looking for problems with the software. You’ll be expected to learn all of the functions of a software tester. As you become more proficient at finding bugs, you’re reputation and income will grow.

3. Prepare to be flexible. Don’t take jobs as a game tester from just one company. It may sound like a great career move working for one of the big three gaming companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, but there are many other companies out there that are up and coming firms. Working for them may offer you better opportunities for career growth.

4. Try to gain some game testing experience before you write up your resume. There are often opportunities for beta game testing that are unpaid. Working on a few of these will give you excellent experience and solid resume material.

5. Learn all you can about the video game industry itself. Knowing how games are developed, made, shipped, and sold will go a long way in impressing a prospective employer with you capabilities and interest, giving you a leg up on other applicants.

6. Decide which of the gaming companies you’d most like to work for. Not all companies allow testing from home. Many have on site testing departments. You have to decide if you’re the type to work in an office, or if you’re one who would prefer to work at home.

7. Create an excellent resume and cover letter. It should show your passion for video games with a special emphasis on your understanding of the importance of game testing, and your experience and training that make you a candidate for such a position. A well thought out and neatly presented resume can make a world of difference, and separate you from the crowd of applicants for video game tester jobs.

Firstly there are some objections to the fact that the term augmented reality is used to mean the fun that can be had when you have a web cam and use some computer software that makes 3D models appear over a square marker. I think that terms are normally best to accept what the public thinks, that way there is always less confusion. So first lets just say that we will call it augmented reality.

Youtube has exploded with various videos and games that people have made with the new technology. If you have not seen it yet then check out “ecomagination smartgrid” for a great example.

This technology not only is available to everyone with a browser and a webcam, but it can be useful and fun. Two important things for any technology.

The best things about it are:

Anyone can use it (Flash has a 98% useage) New ways of interacting with the computer bring more users Can be a good addition to printed marketing campaigns

When we get past the ‘new’ phase of the augmented reality tech, then hopefully we will see some really good uses come out from developers and marketers. There are many practical uses that are starting to come forward such as the postage size checker. There are many more ideas out there as well, and also a psp game with 3D animated creatures, that are already making use of it.

I have even posted a quick test of augmented reality if you want an idea of how it works. Its nothing fancy just a quick render that I am interacting with.

Since decades t-shirt printers have depended on screen printing for creating fabulous styles and trends that lived over generations. Screen-printing has always been a preferred medium for casual fabric printing industry. Iron-on designs were yet another popular printing method that was considered as a feasible alternative for screen printing. This was also popularly termed as iron-on transfers. However, these thick rubbery prints were prone to cracking and withering as time went on.

Another issue with iron-on was that the method was time consuming. On the contrary, screen printing was swift and efficient and also produced comparatively higher quality prints. In t-shirt printing industry, Screen-printing has always been the standard printing method. However, with the development of digital printing, screen printing was largely replaced with the new technology.

With advanced designing softwares, the art of graphic designing evolved into a new era. In the current job market, designing is considered as one of the most sought after skills. More and more artists are depending on designing softwares to create quick t-shirt and fabric designs. Even though designing work is done by computers, Screen-printing is still being used for creating the final prints. With the onset of advanced digital printing, the market of screen printing was further curtailed. In digital printing, you can directly print the computer generated design onto a t-shirt. It is swift and requires no other raw materials like inks or stencils.

Even though, digital printing is widely prevalent in our advertisement and fabrics industry, screen printing is still being used by several small scale printing companies. Sometimes, the method is used for creating contemporary t-shirt prints known for their modern art designs.

Screen print is more cost effective when compared to digital print. Although screen printers are technically backward, when it comes to per-unit cost, they are far more feasible than digital printers.

With screen printers, the printer has to change the inks and stencils for creating newer designs. However, with digital print machines the colors utilized lasts for a longer duration and one can produce several t-shirt prints without refilling the colors after each print.

Again, Screen-printing is more time consuming when compared with digital technology. With screen print productivity can be low but it depends on the nature and purpose of the printing. For personal print needs digital printing can be a feasible option but if you are running a fabrics printing firm, you can’t possibly depend on digital print for all your printing needs.

Digital printing gives more control over the entire print process than Screen-printing. Digital printers have the option of auto-matching colors. Ink matching enables the digital printer to create any color combination out of a base design. This allows the printer to print multiple t-shirts bearing same design but different color combinations. Thus creating multi-colored designs is a quite task if you are using digital printers. But with screen printers you can’t change the inks so easily.
