Steel is one of the most common materials, found in almost every industrial sector, from building bridges, factories, and structures to vessels and cars. In construction, the erection of structural steelwork involves the assembly of certain steel components into a frame. The processes include lifting, placing and connecting components which is achieved through bolting or site welding.

Space-based solar power has the potential to deliver a continuous supply of energy 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which would be an enormous benefit for the world’s energy requirements. While the amount of energy that space-based solar power could collect is staggering, there are some obstacles to overcome. In this article, we take a closer look at space-based solar power and the new 246-foot tower China has built to test such a system.

The COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible to host engineering exhibitions, expos or any in-person events. Fortunately, the worst is behind us and the 2022 Subcon Show was a reminder of just how important subcontract engineering events can be. With more than 4,000 visitors and over 200 exhibitors, this remarkable event provides the sector with unmatched face-to-face networking, the latest innovations and some of the best business solutions on the market. As with Subcon Shows in the past, PRV Engineering was exhibiting and had the privilege of meeting many interesting people. Here’s a recap of the show and why it is regarded as one of the best networking events for subcontract engineering and manufacturing.

For some reason, many people believe that British manufacturing is dead and claim we no longer make anything. While suggesting that Great Britain transformed the industry is perhaps reaching but we know for a fact that we are still producing many products across various sectors. In this article, we look at the story of British manufacturing with some information from Phil Hamlyn Williams, the author of a new book, How Britain Shaped the Manufacturing World.

CNC Milling Machines are used to shape metal and other solid materials using specialised cutting tools programmed and managed by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems. The machining process creates a specific part or product with the help of CAD software, short for Computer-Aided Design.
Today, you won’t find many items that haven’t gone through CNC milling machines as most sectors rely on this specialised process. Some examples are cars, aeroplanes, machine parts, moulds for household machines, toys and even prosthetics. All of these are likely to have one or several CNC-machined components.
