Visitors to this year's Hannover Messe can experience a sudden drop in temperature at first hand—all brought about by simply stretching a metal alloy and then releasing it again. The underlying elastocaloric technology offers ...

Innovative Elastocaloric Cooling Components from 3D Printing Featured at

Visitors to Hannover Messe 2024 are set to encounter a groundbreaking demonstration of cooling technology that relies on a fascinating physical principle rather than traditional refrigerants or fossil fuels. At the core of this innovation is elastocaloric technology, which harnesses the unique properties of a shape-memory alloy—nickel-titanium—to achieve energy-efficient cooling and heating. By simply stretching […]
