New chemical etching processes improve precision of aerospace aluminium components
The development of new chemical etching processes overcomes difficulties in processing aluminium, particularly edge control and dimensional precision, expanding the manufacture of lightweight, complex components for the aerospace industry. UK-based Precision Micro, specialised in this technology since 1962, has developed a process aimed at improving the uniformity and quality of aluminium parts, with tolerances of up to ±0.020 mm and without mechanical stress, burrs or heat-affected zones.

European Union ratifies its regulatory framework for artificial intelligence
The European Union formally ratified a new set of rules to regulate artificial intelligence systems. The legislation imposes tiered obligations based on the level of risk algorithms pose to fundamental rights, with particular scrutiny of facial recognition and automated generation of synthetic content. Developing companies will have to submit their prototypes to external audits and certify the quality of the data used in training. Technology leaders said the measure, while aimed at protecting privacy, poses an operational challenge for small firms in the sector.
