Dear colleagues, we tried to post an article on Patrion. An article with a forecast of the development of the Russian timber industry. It is quite an interesting assessment of the prospects for the medium and long term

Despite the significant narrowing of sales channels for Russian timber products over the past year, Russia remains part of the global wood product market, and, accordingly, is subject to trends in the global economy

In general, there is a recovery in the wood-based panel market in Russia. The markets of chipboard (including OSB) and fiberboard are close to recovering to values before the introduction of Western sanctions. The main sales markets are the domestic market, Central Asia, and Transcaucasia.

Cardboard vs. Laser Shootout: A Tale of Speed and Power Settings

You probably already know that cardboard is versatile, but that goes far beyond the corrugated stuff. There are many types of cardboard out there, some of which you may not even be aware of. In the video after the break, [Eric Strebel] goes through them all and pits each one against his 50 W water-cooled laser with air assist, making a nice reference for himself in the process.

The point of this shootout is to find the optimum speed and power settings for each of these materials using a free power versus speed file. [Eric] almost always runs the thing somewhere between 10% and 50% power, so that's the range represented here. He's looking for two things: the settings that leave the least amount of kerf (make the thinnest cut line) and make the cleanest cuts without producing a lot of residue.

[Eric] divided his contestants into three weight classes, the heavyweights being butter board, chip board, mat board, and illustration board All of these are thicker than 1mm. On the middleweight roster, you have railroad board, 4-ply Bristol board, and stencil board, and all of these are under 1mm thickness. Finally, we have the lightweights -- yupo paper and 300 series Bristol board, both of which are less than ½ mm thick.

To test their model-making capabilities, [Eric] made a cube out of each material. Once the glue is dry, he peels off the painter's tape and goes through the various pros and cons of them all. Be sure to check it out after the break.

Of course, you don't have to hit up the art store to have fun with cardboard -- just visit your recycling bin and mix up some cardboard pulp for sculpting and molding.

Prototyping Your Way to Better Prototypes

If you've ever made a prototype of something before making the "real" one or even the final prototype, you probably already know that hands-on design time can't be beat. There's really no substitute for the insight you will glean from having a three-dimensional thing to hold and turn over in your hands for a full assessment. Sometimes you need to prototype an object more than once before investing time, money, and materials into making the final prototype for presentation.

This is [Eric Strebel]'s second video in series about making an eco-friendly wireless phone charger. He made a paper prototype in the first video, and in this follow-up, he refines the idea further and makes a chipboard version of the charger before the final molded paper pulp prototype. The main advantage of the chipboard version is to design the parts so that each one will be easier to pull from its mold in a single piece without any undercuts.

By building the chipboard version first, [Eric] is able to better understand the manufacturing and assembly needs of this particular widget. This way, he can work out the kinks before spending a bunch of time in CAD to create a 3D-printed mold and making the paper pulp prototype itself. He emphasizes that this process is quite different from the 2.5D method of laser-cutting a single piece of chipboard and folding it up into a 3D object like it was a cereal box, which is likely to hide design issues. Be sure to check out the video after the break.

We think this prototype is quite nice-looking, and believe that everything deserves good design. Why should a wireless charger be any different? [Eric] has prototyped in a lot of media, but he seems especially skilled in the art of foam core board. Start with the masterclass and you'll have a better appreciation for his foam armored vehicle and one of the many ways he smooths out foam parts.
