Flexible work has become part of the day-to-day for many organizations. Instead of bringing everyone back to one central office, companies are shaping environments that support more flexible ways of working. Hub office design has grown out of that shift as teams rethink how and where work gets done.

Using laser cutting machines to produce detailed metal parts has been common practice since the early 1970s. In today’s manufacturing environment, laser cutters are widely used because CAD-driven designs can move from file to finished part in minutes.

Heavy-duty gas spring hinges may already be installed on your product. Over time, the performance of those hinges can decline as the strength of the gas spring weakens across the product’s lifespan.

Hinges look simple… until you’re the one responsible for choosing one. If you’re early in your engineering career or new to sourcing mechanical components, it’s not always obvious how hinges actually work or what makes one design stronger than another.

Cleanliness is not optional in healthcare environments. Every surface, fastener, and moving component is subject to scrutiny because patient safety depends on it. That reality puts material selection at the center of medical equipment design – not as a final check, but as an early decision that affects compliance, durability, and long-term performance.
