 | Totally new Mercedes-AMG SL: Premium roadster just keeps getting better
Is it too early to dream about summer? Let's do it anyway and think about the all-new Mercedes-AMG SL, which will be available as a luxurious soft-top 2+2-seater with two V8 biturbo engine options: the 577-hp top model SL 63 and the 469-hp SL 55. For the first time in 70 years, the SL is available with all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering, and the overall design is so fresh that no part of the body shell was adopted from the predecessor or any other model series.

 | Molded threads and how to design them
Molded threads are everywhere as part of mass-produced plastic parts we encounter every day, parts that were made using multi-cavity, highly automated molds costing hundreds of thousands of dollars and requiring many months to design and manufacture. But what if you don't have that kind of time or money? No worries. Just follow some basic design guidelines from Protolabs, and understand that the threads found on molded parts are a bit different than the ones made in a machine shop.

 | New PETs for automotive exterior components
Polyplastics Group has introduced two new RENATUS polyethylene terephthalate (PET) grades that deliver superior mechanical properties, appearance, and weather resistance for automotive exterior components. RH030 (30% glass filled) and RH045 (45% glass filled) maintain their jet blackness and reduce whitening on the surface of molded articles in outdoor environments, making them ideally suited for applications such as automotive side mirrors and rear wiper arms/blades. Since PET parts are not painted, weathering degradation can occur over time when the glass filler starts to float and the jet blackness decreases. Accelerated weather resistance testing demonstrates that Polyplastics' new PET materials maintain lower index values than competing products, indicating that whitening is being reduced.

 | 60 Years Ago: First launch of a Saturn rocket
In 1957, while working with the Army Ballistic Missile Agency at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL, Wernher von Braun and his team of engineers began studies to build a rocket with a then-unprecedented thrust of 1.5 million pounds. This project would give rise to a new family of large rockets called Saturn, which would eventually provide the thrust to land the first man on the Moon.

| | Videos+: Technologies and inspiration in action | New revolutionary Revolox™ self-locking ring for high RPM
The revolutionary Revolox Self-Locking Retaining Ring from Smalley. Secure and easy locking for your high-speed rotational needs. The "dimple and slot" design prevents ring expansion, safely securing your application at high RPM. This makes it possible to operate at higher speeds, withstand vibration, function under rapid acceleration, and absorb a degree of impact loading. The Revolox self-locking ring enables engineers to cost-effectively design for high-RPM requirements and with ease of assembly for high-volume applications.
