Streamlining dental laboratories with 3D printing

02/02/2029

Since they first became available on the NHS over 75 years ago, dental laboratories have made significant improvements in delivering high-quality dentures to patients. Advances in 3D scanning and additive manufacturing (AM), for example, can produce supportive, comfortable implants for patients. So, is a 3D printer a good investment in your dental laboratory?

From blueprint to bottom line: Energy saving in pumping applications

Efficiency is not just a buzzword. For industrial businesses, improving the efficiency of electrical systems is crucial for reducing expenditure – particularly in an environment where energy costs remain sky-high. Here, David Strain, Technical Director of Technidrive, takes a deep dive into the energy-saving potential of pumping applications.

Sustainability challenges: What’s hindering manufacturers’ transition?

Prominent industrial organisations are establishing bold environmental sustainability targets. A study by Schneider Electric and Omdia indicates that over half (57 percent) of top global industrial organisations have committed to carbon-neutrality targets to offset their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with just under half (47 percent) undertaking RE100 commitments.

All the way back in 1860, Abraham Lincoln referred to the potential of wind power. “Of all the forces of nature, I should think the wind contains the largest amount of motive power,” he said. Now, wind turbines are running across the globe, generating renewable energy for millions, but what keeps them going? Here, Andrew Keith, Director of Power Prove, explains why rigorous testing is so important in keeping wind farms online.
