New Technology

Too often people tend to forget just how important manufacturing is to any given country’s prosperity. As the world has moved into the modern computer age, where technology is readily available as well as information, it can be simple to assume that Great Britain doesn’t actually make anything anymore. Society, as a whole, has become complacent with regard to this topic and issue and, while it may seem harmless on the surface, education and enlightenment are always cures for what ails one.

Make it in Great Britain is a campaign that is set on enlightening the general public about what this great nation actually produces. It is believed that the more that the general public knows and understands about these manufacturing innovations and contributions to the overall economy, the more they will grasp the full impact of those engineers and other workers who are behind this vast productivity.

Coinciding with the Olympics and Paralympic Games

The Make it in Great Britain campaign will be produced and displayed to coincide with the Olympic Games, to take place in the summer of 2012 in London. If one thinks or ponders about what Great Britain produces as far as manufacturing is concerned, at the moment, they may not come up with too many ideas off the top of their head. This will all change when the Make it in Great Britain campaign kicks off this summer.

Unfortunately, most of the views that citizens have of manufacturing are outdated, and government agencies as well as some of the top Great Britain manufacturers are combining their resources to refresh and recharge the notions of this powerful industry within Great Britain.

One of the Largest Manufacturers in the World

It often strikes the average layperson that Great Britain is one of the world’s leading manufacturers. In fact, the manufacturing sector contributes more than £140 billion to the United Kingdom’s economy. Why does all of this matter? As the world moves into an uncertain future, with the economies around the world in tepid waters, struggling to determine where the best approach to the future will lie, manufacturing has taken a bit of a back seat as far as its importance, at least as far as the public is concerned.

However, in reality, manufacturing has been and will remain a vital component of growth and prosperity well into the future for this great nation and the Make it in Great Britain campaign will highlight this and launch us into a prosperous future.

Thanks to the massive advances in modern computer technology, more consumers are hitting the road, or their commute, with mobile apps, phones, and tablets. The revolution in internet technology and capability means that while websites have become an integral part of modern business success, more and more people are connecting to the internet through their mobile devices. This also means that the full size and fully functioning websites that are designed and built with the regular computer in mind (all that RAM and working memory), need to be streamlined to operate effectively on these mobile devices.

“Three-dimensional printing makes it as cheap to create single items as it is to produce thousands and thus undermines economies of scale.  It may have as profound an impact on the world as the coming of the factory did.” – The Economist, February 10, 2011

With advancements in printing technology, specifically 3D printing, creating three dimensional objects has become easier than ever before. 3D printing works by creating successive layers of material from a digital file and printing and compiling them with a materials printer.  The technology has also made it possible to print different parts and assemblies of an element and add them together in a single build process.

In this post we look at the current state and potential uses of 3D printing.
