In the world of subcontract precision engineering, efficiency is the key to success. Every step in the process, from the initial quotation to the final product, needs to be optimised for speed, accuracy and cost-effectiveness. One of the crucial starting points in this journey is the quoting process, and PSL Datatrack revolutionises the way manufacturers […]
3D printing has revolutionised small-scale manufacturing. Production of everything from phone holders to furniture can be made at the touch of a button and printed in anything from minutes to hours. Whilst well suited to small-scale, low-cost manufacturing, 3D printing can become time consuming and less cost effective as production volumes increase. Plastic injection moulding […]

Overmoulding is a plastic injection moulding technique that moulds two components together to make a single part. Overmoulding electronics involves moulding plastic over an electronic substrate, creating a part which is often more durable, flexible, and protected from outside elements. Lots of the electronics used in everyday life are overmoulded, including cables and wires, […]
PSL Datatrack is a modular production control software system, designed specifically for subcontract precision engineers, which streamlines the administration associated with the entire production process from initial quotation to final invoice. The design of the system is such that once the quotation for a component has been created, all that needs to be physically typed […]
A common pain point among subcontract precision engineers is not only the time it takes to quote for a component but the time it takes to requote or quote for new drawings that are very similar to previously quoted parts. In the ever-busy engineering environment quoting needs to be fast and highly accurate in order […]
Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, the power of AI has been at the forefront of many peoples’ minds. One of the many questions posed by the existence of AI systems is: how to treat the ownership of work produced by AI? Here, Oliver Pooley, suggests a simple solution that will be relatively easy to fit […]
With its range of optic options, all 7 processes on the data sheet can be covered by one laser system – and that system is mobile! The ALPHA LASER AL-ROCK 4K mobile robot system is the ultimate in surface metal hardening or welding with wire or powder. With all components from the laser cooler to […]
The onboarding, sales and support process for any product needs to be as suited as possible to the prospective customer. We at PSL Datatrack have worked hard to streamline this process, with our thorough understanding of the needs of a subcontract precision engineering business in mind. The first thing we need is a fact finding […]
