The Real Reason Manufacturers Demand Recycled Plastic In a world allegedly more aware of its environmental impact, governments and industries seek sustainable solutions. One measure which has gained traction is the plastic tax. This tax aims to reduce plastic waste by incentivising producers to use more post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics. Let’s explore how the plastic … Read more
The Future of Sustainable Design: Engineering for a Greener Tomorrow In a world increasingly attuned to environmental concerns, innovative product design and sustainability is shaping the future of mechanical engineering. In part, greater consumer demand for products with positive environmental credentials drives the change. However, there is much disinformation, economic inconsistency and greenwashing. This clouds … Read more
Manufacturers are turning to cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to implement predictive maintenance strategies.
Top 5 Manufacturing and Supply Chain Challenges A well-managed manufacturing and supply chain ensures the smooth flow of raw materials, components, and finished products from manufacturers to end consumers. However, this presents complexity and challenges. In this blog, we identify the top five manufacturing and supply chain hurdles and the top five opportunities for their … Read more
CAD design for manufacturing is a game-changer in the world of product development. By optimising designs for manufacture, selecting suitable materials, validating designs, and leveraging rapid prototyping, engineers can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure high-quality products.
Why choose Design for Manufacture (DFM) Managing production cost is a major concern for any manufacturing company, small or large. So engineers now have many tools, like DFM, to help them achieve simple, efficient and low-cost designs that help to reduce those costs. Design for Manufacture (DFM) is a rigorous engineering design process, preventing wasted project … Read more
