One of two parts. Sample column structure of 'Printfrastructure', 3D printed reinforced concrete. In 2021, a UK first, on-site 3D reinforced concrete printing was deployed by HS2 Ltd’s London tunnels contractor SCS JV (Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture). ChangeMaker 3D combines the 3D concrete printing process with the strongest material ever tested: graphene. Concrete with microscopic strands of graphene only several atoms thick running through it like stripes in a stick of rock replaces traditional steel to help drive improved site safety, greater construction flexibility, shorter build time and a smaller carbon footprint.

This Undercarriage Leg and Wheel Assembly for Airbus A340 Aircraft was built in 1995 by Messier-Dowty Limited in Gloucester. This four-wheeled assembly is 5.2 meters tall when fully extended, and weights approximately 5400 kg. The key components include articulating bogie unit, which is a horizontal mechanism connecting the four wheels, which is connected to the ultra-high tensile steel main fitting and piston via a piston, front facing torque links and a rear facing articulating mechanism which can lower the rear two wheels lower than front two wheels.
