A multi-million-pound project led by engineers at the University of Manchester aims to develop satellites that will be capable of providing sharper images than their counterparts. This is because they will be flying at an altitude of just 200-450km above the planet’s surface, meaning they will not encounter the same...
Different industries have different requirements, and that includes the types of castings they need. Whilst die casting can be best suited to cast low-temperature metals and Metal Injection Moulding is great for large volumes of small items, the complex design requirements of impeller castings tends to dictate the process of...

The manufacturing industry is ever-evolving, with newer and better technologies being developed and implemented on a regular basis. These technologies are changing the way we look at the industry and the way we do business, and are the face of the future. (more…)
A story was published yesterday claiming that Rail punctuality is at an all-time low. In fact, the number of on-time trains is the lowest it has been in 10 years. While much of this has been attributed to staff strikes, the question must be asked whether we need to see...
2016 was a year of ups-and-downs for the manufacturing industry, but it certainly ended on a strong note, which carried into the beginning of 2017. The FTSE 100 (Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index) ended the previous year with a record high of 7,205.21, great news not just for the...
At the beginning of 2017, we are seeing some incredible news coming out of the automotive industry and as a result of the recent – and slightly controversial – U.S. presidential election. For that reason, we here at Dean Group are more excited than ever to see what direction engineering...
This weekend has signalled a huge change for the global climate as Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States. This has led to many of us within the manufacturing and engineering industry to start thinking about how this political change will impact the industry as well as...
A new constellation will soon appear the night sky. This follows the resuming of rocket launches by the American company SpaceX, after a few months of inactivity due to an explosion in September. The explosion had been the result of a design fault in the rocket and so the company...
As 2016 has officially ended, the automotive industry is gearing up for another year of innovation and creation. Massive strides are being taken in the industry every day, making it almost impossible to keep track of all of the amazing news. Never fear, here at Dean Group we make it...
MIM or Metal Injection Moulding is an automated process which is particularly suited to a high volume of small items. A finely powdered metal is mixed with a specific amount of binder, which creates a “green” material, which is capable of being injected into dedicated tooling. The binder is subsequently...
