Streamlining dental laboratories with 3D printing

Streamlining dental laboratories with 3D printing

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?

The future in 3D: How additive manufacturing has become a versatile tool for design engineers

Companies, large and small, now use rapid prototyping and simulation. Its increasing capabilities are opening up exciting new use cases and applications, says Richard Curtin, SVP of Innovation for RS Group.

Exploring Britain’s engineering past to power the future

Exploring Britain’s engineering past to power the future

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of visiting the world-renowned Brooklands Museum. The birthplace of British motorsport and aviation, it has a long and proud history of pioneering great feats of engineering. But whilst it’s important to celebrate the achievements of the past, it’s even more so to nurture the innovations of the future. That’s where Brooklands Innovation Academy (BIA) comes in.

Additive vs traditional manufacturing

Additive vs traditional manufacturing

3D printing has revolutionised manufacturing. Where traditional subtractive technologies relied on removing material from a billet or block to obtain the desired shape, 3D printing now offers high throughput and high levels of surface finishing. Stephen Hayes, Managing Director of Beckhoff UK, explores why companies need to evaluate what mix of traditional and additive manufacturing makes sense for their business.
