Versarien Share Discussion Threads

[loglorry1] 13/11/2018 08:56

@SuperG pumping like mad today. Share price sinking. He's probably selling. This is how these pump and dump operators work.

This was interesting:-


"Tunghsu Optoelectronic signed a memorandum of understanding with the UK’s University of Manchester and Hong Kong’s University Graphene to Market, or UG2M, as well as a separate MoU with British listed materials maker Versarien, the Hebei province-based company said yesterday."

So looks like Tunghsu were here really to see Manchester Uni to collaborate with Hong Kong UG2M hence the meeting at the GEIC. Not quite as exclusive as we were led to believe perhaps.

Why is it always smoke and mirrors with Versarien?

The Crossrail Learning document could include some potential details of potential future developments. Sprayed concrete seems to feature heavily.

[jbe81] 13/11/2018 08:52

ok, just mine then!

[mryl] 13/11/2018 08:48

Fake news ii works fine

[pshevlin] 13/11/2018 08:48

ii working perfectly well.

[festario] 13/11/2018 08:47

The ii app is working just fine

[schmally] 13/11/2018 08:45

Aecom were heavily involved in the Crossrail design and consulting work, so would no doubt have identified elements that could be improved for similar future projects

[jbe81] 13/11/2018 08:44

ii website not working,will be stopping a few buyers, might also be stopping fest selling!

Crossrail was first proposed in 1974 with the London Rail study. Several intervening attempts to green light the project notwithstanding, boots finally hit the ground in 2009 and by 2018, more than 200 million passengers will travel via Crossrail each year.Crossrail will stretch over 62 miles (100 kilometers) from Maidenhead and Heathrow Airport in the west of London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east, traversing the city via a 13-mile (21-kilometer) twin bore tunnel connected to the existing underground system. The program includes eight new sub-surface stations and upgrades to 27 existing surface stations.Knowledge and dedicationSelected as program partner in 2009, the Transcend joint venture is comprised of three world-class industry leaders: AECOM, CH2M Hill and The Nichols Group. The consortium is providing strategic management services to help Crossrail deliver the facility on time, within budget and to the highest standards.As the lead of this venture, AECOM professionals are working as part of a wholly integrated client program management team. Both UK and international contractors dovetail on the major contract packages and at its peak, more than 14,000 staff will be working on Crossrail. AECOM experts are delivering across program and project management, program reporting, procurement, engineering management, and assurance and industry partner management services.Going undergroundTunneling works on this US$24-billion (£14.8-billion) project are well underway beneath London and the station sites are progressing according to schedule for their anticipated opening in 2018.At 656 feet (200 meters) long, Crossrail trains will be almost double the size of current London Underground trains and can carry 1,500 passengers. The railway will also bring an additional 1.5 million people to within 45 minutes of central London - linking London's employment, leisure and business districts, and enabling further economic development.Crossrail will have a huge positive impact on London for many years to come. Not only will it make the city more accessible, it will generate significant employment opportunities. AECOM coordination manager on the project, Ian Brown, explained: "Any single Crossrail station project would normally be a major city undertaking, but there are landmark station works spread across the entire city route, which makes this program special. It is wonderful to contribute with AECOM staff from around the world to a project that will benefit so many Londoners as well as those visiting and working in our great capital city."

Great find superg.
Strange to think that in a few years time we'll probably all be going about our daily lives spotting +Nanene signs all over the place ... :-)

Part of the Red Light tour of Amsterdam includes the de Wallen 3D printed bridge.

[jointer13] 13/11/2018 08:28

funny old game this...we are on the cusp of massive news....

I can smell the coffee sg-:)

[superg1] 13/11/2018 08:27

More info on that

The AECOM Arch is a 3D printed arch to enable digital traffic management systems. It was developed in response to client challenges around funding and cost by installing a digital signaling system.

So a fix and a costs reduction it seems, porbaly down to the reduced labour and plant kit needed (scissor lift)

'The method brings reduced cost of production and installation, time savings and enhanced safety.'

Looking for clues.

One report said (on the relevant topic)

'The firm is working with a transport authority on its underground lines.'

Doesn't the rest of the world call them subways. So is it London Underground.

Cheeky SIPP top up. Can’t believe how many chances I’m getting to keep building my position. The share that keeps on giving.

[superg1] 13/11/2018 08:21

Exactly Agame, I'm glad someone else can smell the coffee.

[a_game] 13/11/2018 08:17

We'll hear about Aecom pre-Christmas imo, seems to be progressing fast. Going to surprise a few I suspect - I certainly wouldn't be selling right now

Scaled Ltd

RHIFALS

I have worked in the field of Additive Manufacturing (AM) for around 15 years, beginning with my postgraduate work and then in both the automotive and aerospace sectors at Honda and GKN Aerospace. As an R&D engineer at Honda I ran various blue-sky R&D programmes looking at several applications of AM to tooling and direct production of next-generation automotive components. At GKN, as Head of AM, I was responsible for setting up and running a multi-centre R&D organisation looking at various forms of AM production routes.

Today, after a short stint as an independent AM consultant, I work in Swindon in a company called Scaled that I set up along with long-time friend David Speight. We provide consulting and services for large-scale FDM, working on projects involving assemblies and systems up to around 6m in scale using parts manufactured on our own in-house equipment. Projects that we are currently involved in range from printing railway infrastructure through to printed tooling for automotive CFRP applications.

In the past I have been an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Warwick as well as being a regular contributing author to the annual Wohlers Report for three years, which is the main publication providing commentary and analysis on the AM and 3D printing industry.

RHIFALS Project

The RHIFALS project is a collaborative project involving large-scale 3D printing specialists Scaled, robotics and automation experts Loop Technology, supercar manufacturer McLaren Automotive and the University of Warwick’s Digital and Materials Technology Laboratory. The project’s focus is to develop a connected digital monitoring and decision-making control system for robot-based FDM, which is capable of managing a print queue containing build files of various priorities, types and sizes and managing the robot’s activities across printing and machining to optimise the production schedule, increase parts quality and reduce human intervention required when operating this production system. I would like to propose that our potential presentation deals with a general overview of the project and progress to date.

From that handbook

Examples of 3D-printed structures include the
Office of the Future in Dubai, a steel bridge in De
Wallen, Amsterdam and a multi-storey apartment
building in Suzhou, China.

The advantages of 3D printing also include the ability to take advantage
of mass production techniques, whilst still allowing
for customization without increasing the unit cost,
improving the quality of works by creating a physical
replica and improving safety by reducing the time
operatives spend on site.

ps

As per recent posts I suspect the type of news some want will be here in good time and then we have to add China news on top.

Note what skylite posted the other day re Aecom, it all makes sense to me.

Nice early morning bargains
