On Tuesday, we had the wonderful opportunity to host a group of third-year Chemical Engineering Students from School of Chemical Engineering UQ for an insightful presentation from our CEO Royston Kent and Industrial Designer Chiara Bortoli followed by an educational tour around B&C Plastics to see where our designs come to life and products are manufactured.

We recently welcomed the Bambu Lab P1S 3D Printer into our fold, and the journey since has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Making changes to designs can be done quickly and efficiently, not to mention the testing process and viability of the design.

The Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water and Logan City Council hosted an awesome Workshop today at the Kingston Butter Factory Cultural Precinct for Businesses to learn about "Achieving Net Zero".
