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

Every so often, a machine or device comes along that changes the way we do things. For manufacturers, engineers and designers, 3D printing is the newest such thing, allowing them to fabricate and make parts and tools in-house. However, 3D printing has a key limitation, and that is extruder temperature.

3D printing is a huge opportunity for product manufacturers to create their own line of customised tools and equipment for their production line. This process reduces costs, lead times and eliminates dependency on third party suppliers. It can also bring about functional benefits, such as reduced weight and better part

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
