Air Force issues national call for 3D scanner [Dayton Daily News :: BC-CPT-3D-SCANNER-USAF:DY] Additive manufacturing and computer design experts, the Air Force needs your ideas. As part of a national effort to harness the speed and flexibility of additive manufacturing — often called “3D printing” — the Air Force this month issued a call for a “cutting-edge automated 3-D scanning system” that can quickly scan complex parts to produce three-dimensional models. The idea is simple: Help the warfighter quickly reproduce or reverse-engineer crucial parts — parts that in some cases m...

Air Force issues national call for 3D scanner [Dayton Daily News, Ohio] Jan. 15—Additive manufacturing and computer design experts, the Air Force needs your ideas.

Last year rivalled 2016 for the warmest on record, as global temperatures were measured to be nearly 1.3C hotter than pre-industrial times, scientists have said.

Data, including from UK-based academics, found temperatures globally were almost 1.3C above pre-industrial levels.

Last year was one of the three hottest years on record, an analysis of five climate studies has reported — with global temperatures up 2.3°F on pre-industrial levels. Experts from the World Meteorological Organisation who studied the international datasets said that the three hottest years on record have all fallen in the last decade. One of the data sources for the analysis came from researchers  at the UK National Centre for Atmospheric Science, the University of East Anglia and the Met Office. They said 2020 was the second-hottest year on record, only 0.018°F (0.01°C) cooler than 2...
