The article discusses how enclosure designers can help original equipment designers protect their equipment with common-sense solutions. OE electronic designers are advised to collaborate with enclosure designers throughout the design process. Honeycomb can be used to solve the balancing act between accessibility/airflow and the need for shielding from electromagnetic interference.

The article offers information on the polymer honeycomb structure technology developed by PlastiCell Ltd.

Lists companies in the United States that manufacture honeycomb. Includes Architectural Specialty Products; BP Chemicals Inc.; Ciba-Geigy Corp.

The article evaluates an adaptable honeycomb machine.

Researcher Jean-Pierre Tortignon developed an economical technique in which plates or tubes with the honeycomb sandwiched between two outer coverings are made using most types of extrudable building material, especially ceramics and fibrous cements. The process permits fluids, wires, and other substances to run through the structure's interior. Potential applications for Tortignon's process in the field of industrial ceramics include pollution systems, catalytic exhaust system, heat exchangers, structural tubing and drainage and filtration systems. He holds patents on the production technique in 37 countries.
