What are the thermal properties of materials, and why is it that materials such as steel are chosen for a particular product design and wood is not considered? Thermal properties are present in every product development, as the most diverse parts will have to cope with requirements such as being subjected to intense heat for
Food science and technology is responsible for designing the food of the future. Current trends focus on healthy and sustainable food. INFINITIA offers viable solutions to companies that want to introduce or modify foods on the market. Everything in a pill format, fat-free food or perhaps a diet based on pills or food from NASA.
Did you know that there are components of food that have anti-cancer properties? They are called bioactive compounds and are those that provide a health benefit despite not being considered nutrients and essential for life. However, their functions include the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, antimicrobial effects and their usefulness in preventing diseases such as cancer
What is conceptual design and how important is it in product design? In this article we talk about conceptual product design, where a solution to a problem is proposed through a concept that will be further developed. The term conceptual design is key in fields such as engineering or architecture, although its definition extends to
Did you know that Design Thinking is a great ally in the evolution of companies? Indeed, this methodology that turns problems into innovative solutions is extremely useful for focusing on the needs of the consumer and approaching an issue from very different points of view. The phases of Design Thinking consist of empathising with the
Vanesa Rodríguez (Calatayud, 1993) is Project Manager and development engineer at INFINITIA. Since she was young she had a clear idea of her career, as she admired those professionals capable of solving problems of almost any kind in a creative way. In 2015, while still studying at the University of Zaragoza, she began an internship
Biotechnology uses a set of techniques to modify living organisms or transform those of organic origin or using biological processes. Its most common uses are in industry, specifically in the agri-food industry, in health and in the environment. In this article we deal in detail with biotechnology in the food industry, from its definition to
Chromatography, mass spectrometry or spectrophotometry are just some of the chemical analytical techniques used in laboratories around the world. In this article we are going to focus on chemical analytical techniques and how they are applied in industry for problem solving. What are analytical techniques? The purpose of analytical techniques is to determine a parameter,
What are the differences between thermosetting plastics and thermoplastics? In this article, we delve into the definition of these two types of polymers, which differ in terms of their behavior at high temperatures. The classification of plastics also includes a third group, elastomers, which are highly flexible and can be deformed and easily regain their
What is the potential market for a company or a product/service? How is it calculated? What is it for? In this article we talk about the importance of this estimate, which helps to determine whether or not it is worthwhile to introduce a given concept in a specific market. What is the potential market? The
Electroerosion machining is a technology that allows difficult and precision work to be carried out that was previously almost impossible. It is a type of machining by removal that is applied to electrically conductive materials, such as steel and other metals, alloys, graphite or ceramics. Electroerosion machining is also known as spark erosion and EDM
Industrial tightness tests are performed to ensure the tightness of products or materials and prevent failures. In this article we explain what they consist of! Definition of leaktightness Tightness is a property that is characterized by the ability to prevent the penetration of external elements inside a part, circuit or housing, whether they are fluids,
