Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, U.K. composites research and development facility, the National Composites Centre (Bristol), recently unveiled its latest state-of-the-art capabilities in the form of a new automated fiber placement/automated tape laying (AFP-ATL) cell. According to the NCC, the new cell is the final piece in a £36.7 million investment, including ten new fully digital automated composite manufacturing capabilities that have been installed at the facility in the past 18 months.
The cell, created in partnership with Electroimpact (Flintshire, U.K.) combines both AFP and ATL in a single system. The dual system can reportedly be used individually or together to collaborate and create large, complex structures with minimal downtime. The robot is intended for medium- to large-scale manufacturing with high performance and accuracy robotic motion platform.

Many weren’t aware, but a brawl occurred in Waco over the weekend. The most polite of scraps, as tennis is a gentle sport compared to most, but the match between the Frogs and Bears held all the drama of an overtime football game or final-round boxing match. Last week, I trumpeted my disappointment as David Roditi’s men of tennis were forced to split the regular-season title thanks to a lackluster 2-5 performance when hosting Baylor during their final match of the season. As an avid purple tennis booster, this caused much consternation when considering TCU’s progression into the national tournament. Despite my

It’s been two weeks since Buck U recapped Spring TCU sports so we’ll dive headlong into women’s soccer which is the closest to concluding their season. Sadly, our ladies suffered their first loss of the season when visiting the Ags in College Station two Saturdays ago. They bounced back during their final regular-season game by beating Notre Dame 2-1 at the Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. The United Soccer Coaches poll places our ladies No.7 nationwide, and the RPI poll 11th. Monday’s selection for the national tournament showed tremendous respect for the Frog’s body of work, placing them as the 4th-seed slated to face the victor of a play-in match between New Mexico and The Naval Academy at the end of the month. I would never claim to be a bracketologist of women’s soccer but I’d assume it’s safe to infer our ladies will advance to a match with 13-seed Georgetown. We’ll keep tabs on our footballers as th
