As the UK transitions into springtime, welcoming longer days and brighter sunlight, businesses experience a range of benefits. Among these, one less obvious benefit: sustainable energy.
It's no secret that Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) requires a fair amount of power. For this reason we have taken proactive steps to reduce our environmental impact. This includes covering nearly the entire roof with solar panels at our site in Dartford, Kent.
In 2023, our solar panels generated an impressive 25,000 kWh of energy, equivalent to powering over 170 Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) builds through solar power*.
It's noteworthy that the majority of this energy production occurs during the spring and summer months when sunlight is more abundant.
Additionally, our choice of Hyundai Monocrystalline Perc Shingled Panels comes with a 25-year warranty, assisting our long-term commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
