With global engineering and industry revelling in a digital age brought about by technological advances and Industry 4.0, it’s easy to see why consideration, exposure and appreciation for some more traditional engineering components are sadly waning. How does a roller bearing hold up against a pair of VR goggles, or a tensioning bolt against an IoT-enabled sensor? It’s not that they don’t have important roles to play – indeed, one could argue that bearings and bolts are more important, vital even – it’s just that they don’t have the same ‘tech’ appeal in the modern age, no matter how important their function. 💡 That's why we need a new approach to spring training, say William Hughes Group and Institute of Spring Technology...👉 https://lnkd.in/eq4rVzQB #springs #mechanicalengineering

According to Made Smarter UK, additive manufacturing (AM) benefits include “greater design freedom, lessened time to market or production, on-demand manufacturing, reduced inventory holding, and cuts to waste and costs of production”. For manufacturers that are integrating their first system into production and want to reap the benefits, here's how to get the most out of your 3D printing investment 👉 https://lnkd.in/dCYra4-X Author: Robert Pitts | Tri-Tech 3D #manufacturing #3Dprinting #additivemanufacturing
