 Mobile robots like drones are advancing at a rapid rate, and the traditional manufacturing techniques used to make them are struggling to keep up. 3D printing has found added value in the robotics industry for this reason. It enables rapid prototyping and small series production of parts without the

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
