"When people really began doing cost analysis, the five minutes that a surgeon saved in the operating room did not compensate for the fact that the patient still had to come back to have the staples removed.”
“Like jet engines, a coffee machine requires high pressure, controlled temperatures and precision engineered components. If I could build a jet engine, I realised I could probably build my dream espresso machine.”
“As part of our project, we thought it important for us to demonstrate new, cost effective, manufacturing methods that the rail industry can use to develop its competitive edge. Looking to the future, we can see 3D printing technology becoming increasingly prominent in train manufacturing, repairs and upgrades.”
