‘Environmentally Friendly’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
TEC unveils rapid-prototype machines at ACTE from
Tech Ed Concepts, which we summarised at the time by saying "Technology Education Concepts (TEC) will be demonstrating a 3D printer and a tabletop prototyping factory at the 2009 Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) Convention. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release PCB provides linear motion for abrasive blasting from
PBC Linear: "PBC Linear was asked to provide a linear-motion system for the abrasive blasting of fabricated steel that could tolerate extreme environments. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Centa Transmissions
- take a look at Centa offers bespoke transmission designs
which says: "Centa Transmissions can create bespoke powertrain designs for wind, wave, tidal and solar power systems.".
Take a look also at the news release from Boge Compressors, DS refrigerant dryers reduce energy consumption ,
as well as Igus optical-fibre cable suits all bus systems from Igus UK,
and ESI software supports PT-Grid project from ESI Group.
