I've just been reading this months Science Focus magazine, which has an article on the Dunning-Kruger effect. This describes people who are so stupid that they just don't appreciate how stupid they are. I think many of our trolls must be sufferers.

This is what philbyk9 is referring to...Note the date 3 September 2018.----3D printing: building in a new dimensionBy Mike Hayes 3 September 2018It is generally accepted that the technology of 3D printing is in its infancy, but this is far from the truth. Large-scale objects can already be rendered in an array of materials and with impressive tensile strengths and lifespans.One company taking advantage of the technology is construction engineering firm Aecom. The firm is working with a transport authority on its underground lines. Aecom's project director Dan Smith commented, "They were keen to reduce the time and costs of installing a visual signalling system."We looked at replacing the traditional bolt and screws method and came up with the concept of an arch that didn't bolt to any of the existing tunnels."The concept was a 3D printed structure – and this is where things get extremely exciting; we're looking at printing large-scale structures that support the signalling equipment."The size is 5.5m in height and 4m in width. With our partners, Scaled, we can actually print anything up to 20m in length and 4m in width on their machine, which I believe is Europe's largest 3D printer."The Scaled printer has the capability to print in concrete and graphene-enhanced concrete, but is currently being used to test different types of composite, glass fibre and carbon fibre – in total, around 60 materials are being researched for various construction applications.For the project, Aecom is working in glass fibre-reinforced plastic. Using this lightweight material, the signalling structure can be carried into position by just two people at ground level, with installation completed in one shift.Compare this to the current signalling installation, which requires more manpower, four shifts and the assistance of a scissor lift, and it's clear why the authority in question is so excited about the Aecom concept. In terms of reduced cost of production and installation, time savings and enhanced safety, it looks like a clear win for 3D printing.hTTps://www.khl.com/international-construction/3d-printing-building-in-a-new-dimension/134669.article

my page has more blanks than posts

Phil as in philtered.. along with a dozen others today.

[spike_1] 15/3/2019 16:04

Phil has been a member since 14th March, so seems exceedingly unlikely he sold at 180, he's just trying to create credibility.

He will have excuses as to why he is a new poster, but not why he is trying to destroy a company where he doesn't own shares - unless of course he is one of the current shorting gang - oh! surely not.

[ashehzi] 15/3/2019 15:56

Phil If you sold at 180p good for you. You were smart. Now can we move on? Are you trying to trash share price so you could've even lower entry? What the fuss is about?

[spike_1] 15/3/2019 15:44

1/10 cowpat - must try harder - the two figures are both correct but apply to different things i.e. supplied and used.

but you know that already you are simply trying to impress us with your idiocy level which is a very commendable 8/10

[woodpeckers] 15/3/2019 15:36

Spike, you're wasting your breath, they don't want to hear so won't acknowledge the real facts ... but it does give us a chance to show that the story actually gets better... less wastage... an impressive plus!

[spike_1] 15/3/2019 15:32

cowpat; WRONG - you are trying to distort the truth yet again:

200 kilos was ordered FACT
200 kilos was delivered FACT

Due to the higher level of manufacturing efficiency than anticipated there was little wasted material and only 115 kilos was needed for the test products.

I would presume that since the project is being 3D printed there is a level of waste within the supply 'reservoir' and within the pipes / tubes and pumps going to the nozzle, which will then need to be flushed out so that the machine can move on to other work.

[billwave] 15/3/2019 15:32

Spike, I believe the 200kgs was for the purpose of testing? Do we know if Versariens products have actually been chosen for the project?

[billwave] 15/3/2019 15:12

Festario, based on what I was learning I piled back in at circa 98p on the way up mistakingly thinking it was the beginning of an up trend. Appears I called it wrong. I still have questions however. Are the expected orders from Aecom a certainty? It has been suggested by someone this morning that other products from different manufacturers, possibly more cost effective, are still being trialled. Do we know if this is the case?
Regards.

On the cusp of greatness - news could drop at any time and away we go. NR working mainly with the US now so late night working. Only two weeks until the end of Q1, and ironically the share price is still red!

[spike_1] 15/3/2019 14:56

Phil you accidentally left out the rest of my post - let me help you.
Here it is again. Try to be more careful next time.

How to try and fool investors:
1) Provide factually correct information:

The key issue with the Aecom decision is how easy the final structure is to install. The lighter the weight the lower the number of construction workers, specialist machinery equals much lower costs.

2) And by association suggest the following is also correct despite NO EVIDENCE to support it:

The graphene is likely to be one of the most expensive raw materials although only a small percentage of the overall structure but the way it is currently being tested the final product will find it difficult to compete with the light weight compounds also being tested.

Where is the evidence that other materials are being tested for use for these specific structures?

No doubt graphene will produce one of the strongest products but other factors may prevent its commercialisation.

What other factor? Be specific as they relate to the Aecom project mentioned above?

Pontless statement: As an aside the printers have key components that are needed for all materials lots of great investment opportunities which are not reliant on the final material combinations. WIN WIN DYOR

Oh and by the way try and spell Freud correctly next time - jeezzz

Deal with one of world’s biggest phone screen makers revealed
By Andrew Merrell | 15th March 2019

An engineering firm from Gloucestershire has moved a step closer to doing business with one of the world's biggest mobile phone and computer screen manufacturers.

Rarely a month goes by when the Cheltenham-based business does not report on the continued growth of its list of partnerships, relationships and connections to some of the world's biggest potential markets.

In a statement to the City of London Graphene specialist Versarien plc has now revealed it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Tunghsu Optoelectronic Technology Ltd, the fourth largest LCD glass substrate manufacturer in the world.


The Chinese business employs an estimated 7,900 staff and is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. It is part of the wider Tunghsu Group, which has more than 200 wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries, including three listed companies; Tunghsu Optoelectronic, Tunghsu Sky and Tungshu Challenge.

Neill Ricketts, chief executive officer of Versarien, said: "We are very pleased that our relationship with Tunghsu Optoelectronic has moved to the next stage with the signing of this LOI.

"We have been working closely with Tunghsu Optoelectronic since November last year and we look forward to progressing our research and development activities with them with a view to ultimately establishing a joint manufacturing capability in China.

"Tunghsu Optoelectronic is a leading global enterprise and we are delighted that they have recognised the quality of our graphene and wish to deepen their relationship with Versarien.

"We are also making good progress with our other collaborations in China and elsewhere. I look forward to providing further updates in due course."


Neill Ricketts

The LOI follows the Memorandum of Understanding Versarien entered into with Tunghsu Optoelectronic as announced on November 7, 2018.

Versarien and Tunghsu Optoelectronic will establish a joint implementation committee, composed of three members from each party, to progress the plans envisaged by the LOI, with a view to ultimately entering into manufacturing joint venture, although there can be no guarantee that this outcome will ultimately be achieved.

The LOI details the parties desire to work together to develop and manufacture in China new generation graphene heaters based on the micro-flow graphene ink technology from Versarien's subsidiary Cambridge Graphene Limited.

The LOI additionally details the party's intention to jointly develop other products utilising a variety of Versarien's 2d materials, including graphene-enhanced sports equipment and smart wearable devices.

Excuse me cowpat: 200 kilos was ordered AND delivered, as explained here by several posters, do try and get someone to help you with reading!

[woodpeckers] 15/3/2019 14:39

Think you may have hit on what should be our new company motto Mike...

Understand the plan & go to market, follow the partner engagement and process, measure business progress (not share price) and the rest will follow ...
