Handmade rings are romantic, and beautiful. For jewellers, they are a type of functional art. Even the plainest metal bands are inherently special, perhaps not in form, but at least in their purpose. After all, they are a symbol of enduring love. Until recently, these rings were made exclusively by hand. Machines are still used …

Consumer behaviours are ever-changing. For retailers to keep up – let alone stay ahead – they have to be on the top of their game. For L’Oréal, one of the best-known beauty brands in the world, staying ahead is essential to maintain their image and reputation for innovation. “Our consumers have changed a lot …
Image credit. It is estimated that for every kilogram of weight saved on a commercial aircraft, 25 tonnes of CO2 emissions are prevented during its lifetime. This startling truth is why weight reduction is considered the Holy Grail of aerospace engineering, and it is why companies like Airbus invest considerably in the area. A kilogram …

3D printing is an area of intense study where product design is concerned. We’re always hearing stories about how designers conceptualise products in CAD and bring them into the three-dimensional world with 3D printing. This is nothing new, but with technologies getting better and better, and designers finding more value in it, these use cases …

Over the last 20 years, TCT Show has drawn massive crowds and this year’s show is …
For over twenty years, 3D printing has shown exciting potential as a manufacturing process. In some industries, it has already started a revolution. But there has always been a material limitation. You see, most 3D printers print plastic. You can engineer plastics like PLA, PET, and ABS to demonstrate desirable mechanical characteristics, but they are …
One of the biggest limitations of FFF and SLA 3D printing is you can’t fabricate full-colour parts. You can only print mono parts, or parts in one colour. This is because in the case of fused filament fabrication, the printer extrudes a plastic from a reel. The reel is one colour, which means printed …

The Triceratops lived around 68 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. It was herbivorous, around 12-tonnes in weight, and had one of the largest skulls of any dinosaur relative to its size with prominent horns and frills. It is thought these were used in combat, and perhaps in courtship display. Whatever the case, …
