If you think you know the print quality fused filament fabrication is capable of, wait until you see the Ultimaker S5 in action. The S5 is Ultimaker’s top-of-the-range 3D printer with a bigger build volume than the Ultimaker 3 and superior mechanical components. It is engineered to print reliably at scale with a dual …
3DGence has launched a new 3D printer which could revolutionise how engineers manufacture high-performance products. The INDUSTRY F420 can print traditional thermoplastics like ABS and PLA, specialised materials like polycarbonate, PA and ASA, and the engineering polymers PEEK and ULTEM AM9085F, giving rise to its suitability for a wide range of applications. ULTEM AM9085F has …
Windows are the biggest heat sink in most people’s homes. Glass by itself is not a very efficient insulator, which is why double glazing is widely used. By introducing a second pane of glass and filling the area between the windows with an inert gas, the windows become a much better insulator. In Nordic countries …

The wheel was undoubtedly the most important engineering invention ever, but the Mecanum wheel follows very closely behind. These wheels can move a vehicle with a standard chassis in any direction, without the vehicle turning or manoeuvring. Instead, the Mecanum wheel allows for in-place rotation. The inventor of the Mecanum wheel, Bengt Erland Ilon, patented …

The design and development of surgical tools is a specialised process. It involves drawing designs by hand or on a computer, before a 3D prototype is created. The traditional manufacturing processes include making use of dies, moulds, drop forging, press work, machining and injection moulding, depending on the material. But this takes a lot of …

Figurines and figures have been a part of human culture since humans began to craft. We know this because we’ve unearthed figurines that are thousands of years old, with the oldest dating back 35,000 to 40,000 years. That’s a staggering length of time. The popularity of figurines hasn’t wavered. Our curiosity and ingenuity to transform …
