Technology is changing how art is created in numerous ways. From the lasers used in “Assemblance” that allowed people to interact and sculpt with light, to the “Rising Colorspace” in Berlin that had artwork created in real-time by a climbing robot called Vertwalker, technology is opening up new methods of

Even for experienced architects, model making can be relatively simple or immensely complex. Rough study models can be made quickly with cardboard, polystyrene and foam, but this is as easy as it gets. Complex shapes, organic shapes and geometries need a more detailed approach which takes time. This is

Identifying opportunities for improvement on the production line is never a one-off exercise. As manufacturers increase their output, they are forced into a continuous cycle of improvement to keep quality high. One of the bottlenecks manufacturers face is the equipment they use itself. Whether we’re talking about milling machines, lathes,

Over time, most buildings get updated — and no structure is immune to change. Updates are often the result of an architect trying to satisfy the requirements of modern use, which is why we often see extensions and annexes on period properties. Some older buildings are updated so much that

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

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

3D printing is magic. Put a 3D printer in any classroom, switch it on, let it print and something happens that teachers have tried to achieve forever: the whole classroom becoming transfixed on what it is, what it does, and whether they can have a go. Genuine interest abounds, even

Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health have a history of using the latest technologies in the medical field. For students, early introduction to these is essential to develop their skillset. For clinical practices, these technologies are being used to optimise workflow and speed up the operation process for surgeons. One

We recently helped a pet food manufacturer modernise their manufacturing facility by introducing additive manufactured parts to their production line. Our customer, a European pet food manufacturer, was interested in 3D printing as a way to manufacture parts for their machines in-house. Their equipment was fitted with legacy parts that
