3D printing in Bolsover
Bolsover looks out from a limestone ridge above the Doe Lea, its castle — a Cavendish showpiece with a riding house rather than a keep — visible from the M1 for miles. The pit that sat below the town has gone and the valley has filled with distribution sheds and engineering units off junction 29a instead. Bolsover is far enough south that everything travels by post, which suits the work: spares, adaptors and fixtures for handling and workshop kit are small, light things to send.
