Storable Launches First-Ever Insured-To-Value Technology For Self-Storage Market

Published

on

Technology ensures tenants’ property is appropriately covered in instances of loss or damage, while boosting revenue for operators

AUSTIN, Texas, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Storable, the leading technology provider for the self-storage industry, has launched a revolutionary Insured-To-Value (ITV) technology. This innovation eliminates a longstanding challenge for self-storage operators: ensuring their tenants have adequate insurance coverage. By dynamically adjusting minimum coverage requirements based on unit size, ITV protects tenants from being underinsured while unlocking a new revenue stream for operators through higher premiums. This groundbreaking solution, widely used in property insurance but never before available in self-storage, represents a substantial leap in safeguarding tenant assets and boosting profits.

“Fundamentally different than anything else in the marketplace, Insured-To-Value better protects tenants while allowing operators to combat declining occupancy rates with a previously untapped revenue stream. It’s a win-win for tenants and operators alike.” – Storable CEO Chuck Gordon  

Previously, technology limitations required operators to set one-size-fits-all minimum coverage requirements for tenant insurance across entire facilities. This meant that a basic 5×5′ storage unit would have the same minimum coverage requirement as a climate-controlled 20×20′ unit.

As a result, tenants renting larger units often had coverage gaps that left them underinsured. And because facility owners typically collect a percentage of monthly premiums to cover administrative fees, inadequate coverage requirements meant operators were leaving money on the table.

“Insured-To-Value redefines what tenant insurance can do for operators,” said Storable CEO Chuck Gordon. “Fundamentally different than anything else in the marketplace, ITV better protects tenants while allowing operators to combat declining occupancy rates with a previously untapped revenue stream. It’s a win-win for tenants and operators alike.”

After beta testing Storable’s ITV technology in the spring of 2024, Stor-It Self Storage Chief Operating Officer David Hurless has no regrets. “Around 85% of our rented units have a policy in place, so this has been a tremendous profit center for us,” he said. “If anything, I think customers expect a larger policy to be in place with a larger unit.”

ITV’s trailblazing technology provides an alternative. Operators now have the flexibility to set coverage requirements that provide stronger protection to tenants from potential loss, while also optimizing earnings.

With the launch of our Insured-To-Value technology, Storable is proud to offer an insurance tool that helps today’s self-storage operators simplify and enhance their tenant insurance program.

Raise3D Launches the T450 and T700, the Most Affordable Large-Format 3D Printers with an Actively Heated Chamber

Published

on

By

The T450 and T700 offer build volumes of 450 × 350 × 400 mm and 700 × 500 × 1,000 mm, starting at US$4,999 / €4,999 and US$15,999 / €15,999, with actively heated chambers and fiber-ready nozzles; both debut at Formnext 2026.

FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Raise3D today introduced the T450 and T700, the most affordable large-format industrial 3D printers with an actively heated chamber, extending its T Series to build volumes of 450 × 350 × 400 mm and 700 × 500 × 1,000 mm. Both will be shown for the first time at Formnext 2026 in Frankfurt from November 17 to 20.

Raise3D also announced a 100 mm build-height increase for its RMS220 selective laser sintering (SLS) printer, enabled by a software update, and introduced the B520 automated sandblaster for polymer powder bed parts. Raise3D completed a US$15 million funding round in November 2026, supporting development across large-format FFF, SLS and DLP, hardware-software integration, application development, and expansion into new applications and markets.

What Makes the Best Large-Format 3D Printer for Production?

Two questions decide the machine: whether the part can be produced in one piece, and whether the printer can run long jobs in a factory environment while continuing to make parts that meet specification. Both put pressure on motion control across a large working area and on process stability over multi-day prints, which is what the T Series is built around.

The T450 suits jigs and fixtures, casting patterns, large prototypes and production aids. The T700 suits large tooling, patterns and other large-format applications. Both use fused filament fabrication (FFF) and share one tech platform.

T450 and T700 Highlights

Big parts in one piece: build volumes of 450 × 350 × 400 mm and 700 × 500 × 1,000 mm, so suitable jigs, tooling and patterns do not have to be split, bonded and finished.Steady motion across a long span: a 4MD CoreXY system with four frame-mounted motors, designed to reduce vibration, surface ringing and the risk of layer shifts.High-flow extrusion: TwinFlow™ feeds two filament paths into one nozzle, reaching up to 600 mm/s and 80 mm³/s under the reference test conditions[1], and switches to two materials for soluble supports or dual-color parts.Actively heated chamber: Air Flow Manager 2 adjusts the chamber by material, holding up to 70°C on the T450 and 60°C on the T700 for large ABS and nylon parts, and switching to directed cooling with an automatic top vent for lower-temperature materials such as PLA.Fiber-ready hot end: a 420°C nozzle and 120°C build plate, with a copper-chromium-zirconium base and solid silicon carbide tip for compounds such as PET CF, PPA CF and PPS CF.Built for long runs: camera monitoring, spaghetti, flow and run-out detection, power-loss recovery and an emergency stop, with RFID material identification, mesh leveling and ideaMaker support.

CEO Edward Feng said:

“Larger build areas open up applications that were previously limited by size. A scoliosis brace is one of them. It has to be printed in one piece, because a brace that is split into sections and bonded back together does not have the strength a brace needs to hold the spine. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis affects around 1 to 3 percent of teenagers, and a build area that is too small only covers a child’s torso. On the T450, an adolescent brace fits inside the 450 × 350 mm build area with room to spare, so it comes off the machine as a single part. The same reasoning applies to tooling, patterns and production aids.”

Application Example: Battery Cell Transport Trays

Power-battery manufacturing puts that constraint at a different scale. Jigs and fixtures must suit different products and production lines, and conventional machining can involve long lead times and design constraints, particularly for high-mix, low-volume requirements.

For cell-transport trays, Raise3D used the T450 and T700, alongside material, structural design and process optimization. Production time fell from about 40 days to 10 days, and tray weight from about 8 kg to 2 kg, reductions of approximately 75% in both. The gain came from the combination of build area, extrusion throughput and material choice, which is the combination the T Series is built around.

From FFF to SLS: RMS220 Adds 100 mm of Build Height

Work with production customers has shown that the limit on part size is not specific to FFF. The same pressure appears in selective laser sintering (SLS), where build height decides how tall a part can be and how many parts fit in one build.

Raise3D’s RMS220 SLS printer now offers a build volume of 220 × 220 × 450 mm (approximately 21.8 L), up from 220 × 220 × 350 mm (17 L). The additional 100 mm of Z height increases build height and build volume by approximately 30%, and is enabled through a software update on existing machines, without a hardware change.

The taller build space allows suitable components that previously exceeded the 350 mm height to be produced in a single build and provides more room for nesting.

B520: Automated Sandblasting for Powder Bed Parts

The same customer conversations surfaced a second constraint, one that comes after the print. Print services often run powder bed parts from more than one machine brand, and all of those parts need cleaning and surface treatment.

The B520 is an automated sandblaster for polymer powder bed parts. Its enclosed workstation combines automatic blasting, air blow-off and ionization, and a manual mode allows operators to reach deep recesses and shielded areas. Suitable parts can be processed as a programmed batch. The independent system supports the RMS220 as well as third-party SLS, MJF, SAF and HSS equipment, and its standard and large baskets have internal volumes of 24.8 L and 75.5 L, respectively.

The RMS220 update widens what can be built in one cycle; the B520 addresses what happens to those parts afterwards.

Availability and Pricing

The T450 is priced at US$4,999 in the United States and €4,999 in Europe; the T700 at US$15,999 and €15,999. Prices for the two industrial 3D printers exclude configuration, tax, shipping and service terms, which are set in the regional quotation. Deliveries of the T450 begin by the end of December 2026, with the T700 expected by the end of January 2027. Buy T450/ T700 now.

CamScanner Highlights Everyday Document Workflows Across Education, Work and Retirement in Mexico

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Managing important documents is a recurring need across university applications, public-service requests, employment procedures and retirement in Mexico. In each case, users must locate the right files and prepare them for submission. CamScanner supports this process by helping users scan, organise, retrieve, edit and share documents.

According to INEGI’s 2025 National Survey of Governmental Quality and Impact, cited by Publimetro, 39.1% of payments, procedures or public-service requests made by adults in cities with at least 100,000 residents involved a problem. Procedural barriers accounted for 79.7% of reported problems, including long lines, excessive requirements and being sent between offices. The survey found 51.7% used government facilities, versus 21.7% online.

University of Monterrey and UNAM materials mention CamScanner for admissions, homework and digitisation[1]. Mexico City’s unemployment insurance programme and IMSS pension procedures illustrate how applications may require identification, proof of address, banking information and other supporting records to be prepared together.

CamScanner’s Mexico App Store listing covers the workflow from capture to later use. In public-service and retirement procedures, multi-page scanning can digitise identification and supporting records, while OCR and file organisation make them easier to categorise and retrieve. For coursework, admissions and scholarship applications, editing and conversion can prepare materials in the requested format. For employment documents and contracts, electronic signatures can be added where permitted, while saving and sharing tools keep completed files ready for submission or later reference. Together, these functions extend the app’s role from scanning to ongoing document management.

In a 2024 interview, General Manager Kevin Cao described the rapid advancement of AI in document management and processing as “one of the most underestimated trends,” pointing to its potential to simplify and streamline workflows.

Digital tools do not replace official requirements. A scanned INE credential is a digital copy, not official verification. Users should confirm whether originals or certified documents are required. For credentials issued from December 2019, the official Valida INE-QR application reads and verifies QR codes; institutions may require additional steps.

Together, these examples position document management as more than a single scan. By connecting capture with organisation, retrieval, editing and sharing, CamScanner helps users keep files ready while leaving issuance, acceptance and verification to the relevant institutions.

DENVER, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The University of Denver (DU) brought together leaders from across the country on November 10 for a celebration to launch The John and Sandy Miller National Academy for Free Expression and Pluralism, a national institution dedicated to renewing the principles of free expression and pluralism that have long supported a flourishing democratic society.

More than 300 people attended the event, which featured speakers who’ve dedicated their careers to advancing issues surrounding pluralism and free expression. The evening featured:

A fire-side chat with President George W. Bush and The Miller National Academy Executive Director Mary Kate Cary, who served as a speechwriter for President George H.W. Bush during his administration. Their conversation touched on a range topics, including the President’s thoughts on pluralism and free expression, his advice to students who might be afraid to speak up, key moments in his presidency like his 2001 inaugural address and 9/11 response, his father’s legacy, and his upcoming book The Call of Freedom: Portraits of Political Prisoners and Dissidents.Remarks from:Nadine Strossen, the first woman to serve as president of the ACLU, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and a Miller National Academy Advisory Board member.Rye Barcott, author of Courage Can Save US, co-founder and CEO of With Honor, a cross-partisan organization that fights polarization by supporting principled veteran leadership in public office.A video message from former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a DU alumna and Miller National Academy Advisory Board member.

Quotes From Event Speakers and Academy Leaders
“I’m delighted to help launch The John and Sandy Miller National Academy for Free Expression and Pluralism at The University of Denver. I applaud the Millers, Mary Kate Cary, and the DU community for taking on this important work. By teaching students how to think, not what to think, you can empower future leaders and strengthen our society.”

President George W. Bush

“I’m concerned about how hard it’s become for Americans – including on campuses – to speak openly and find common ground. We must teach young people to engage candidly and constructively across differences and solve problems together. DU’s Miller National Academy gives me hope that we can strengthen those essential democratic habits.”

Nadine Strossen
Former ACLU President; Senior Fellow, FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression); Advisory Board member, The Miller National Academy

“I am delighted to see that The University of Denver has taken on this great national challenge of making us a country that is more hospitable to free expression and to pluralism, the foundations of democracy. The Miller National Academy is going to do just that. There is no more important part of democracy than to be able to talk about our differences, to be able to do so with respect, to be able to do so based on argumentation from data not just from emotion, and to do so across differences.”

Condoleezza Rice
Director, The Hoover Institution; former U.S. Secretary of State; Advisory Board member, The Miller National Academy; University of Denver alumna

“At With Honor, we work with leaders who’ve learned the hard way that courage isn’t the absence of disagreement. It’s the willingness to engage it honestly. Free expression and pluralism depend on that kind of courage, and on people who practice it every day. The Miller National Academy is building a place to do that, and the country needs it. I’m pleased to stand with them at their opening on the eve of Veterans Day 2026.” 

Rye Barcott
Marine Corps veteran; Co-founder and CEO, With Honor; author of Courage Can Save US

“College is a space where young people develop and learn how to collaborate and ask questions that help them become leaders. During my time at the University of Denver, I was able to shape my beliefs, question what I knew, and discover new ways of thinking. I believe the experience of learning from others is just as vital to student growth and skill development as academics.”

John Miller, BSBA ’75, MBA ’76
University of Denver Board of Trustees Chair

“The Miller National Academy will serve to strengthen The University of Denver’s efforts to teach our students the skills necessary to become the next generation of leaders. Combining our partnerships and standing as a major university with the knowledge of free expression that our advisory board and Mary Kate bring, we know that we can create legitimate impact that will deliver benefits across the country.

Jeremy Haefner
University of Denver Chancellor

“To achieve a pluralistic society, we must help people hone the skills they need to freely think, question, speak, create, dissent and persuade. At The Miller National Academy, we want to serve as a dedicated space where different perspectives are met with curiosity rather than division. Our goal is to create new ideas and build on the successful programs across the country expanding pluralism.”

Mary Kate Cary
Founding Executive Director, The Miller National Academy
