The Bright Future of 3-D Printed Light Fixtures
The concept of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing,
initially surfaced in the 1980s, thanks largely to the innovative work
of engineer Chuck Hull. Hull invented a process called
'stereolithography', or SLA, a method that allowed for the creation of
3D models layer by layer, literally bringing ideas to life. It was a
revolutionary breakthrough that sparked the beginning of the 3D printing
era.

Harnessing the Germ-Fighting Power of Light We Can’t See
It’s hard to believe that it was just three years ago that much of the
country was on red alert status thanks to Covid. Researchers were still
learning more about the new virus, but one thing they were sure of was
that it spread through the air, which made air purification systems a
new priority for any place people gathered in large numbers.

Stability, Reliability, and Longevity for Rooftop Support Systems
Rooftop support systems are an integral part of conduit, piping, and
mechanical installations that often go underappreciated. These unsung
heroes of the rooftop world provide a stable and secure foundation for
equipment, ensuring that everything from HVAC units to solar panels
stays in place, regardless of weather conditions or external forces.

Industrial Automation Evolution - Then and Now
During the Industrial Revolution, which started in the 18th century, the
origins of automation emerged, leading to significant technological
change. This era introduced the use of mechanized equipment, such as the
steam engine and the spinning jenny, revolutionizing the manufacturing
process by reducing the reliance on manual labor. These advancements
laid the foundation for what we now know as automation.

The Intrinsic Value of Decorative Lighting in Commercial Spaces
Recently, my wife and I had the “pleasure” of visiting a relatively new
hospital complex. For almost a year, I watched the 5-story edifice being
built as I traveled up and down Highway 49 in Northwest Arkansas.
