Have you ever wished you could take a screenshot of just a small portion of your screen? Well, we did, and that led us to find this very handy tool that we would like to share with you. If you use a Microsoft computer, the “Snipping Tool” is what you are looking for. It is a screenshot utility that is included in each Windows operating system (OS) since Windows Vista. The tool allows you to take screenshots of an open window, rectangular areas, a free-form area, or the entire screen. The snips can be stored as your standard image files (PNG, GIF, or JPEG), and the tool provides basic image editing features like different colored pens to annotate the image, an eraser, and a highlighter.

Dear architects, designers, and spec writers; would you like to know an easy way to reduce your costs of the metal composite material (MCM) panels on your project?
|
|
|
All four MCM manufacturers produce a quality product that is by-and-large comparable to one another. However, they all have particular niches that distinguish them from their competitors. This translates in their pricing where they can be more or less competitive in certain pricing scenarios. Also, each manufacturer has different relationships with the hundreds of fabricators, which can result in more competitive pricing.

This week we wanted to share with you one of our favorite projects, Eagle Stadium at Allen High School. Yes, that’s correct, we said high school. This $62.8 million facility sits on 72 acres of land and can hold 18,000 people. MillerClapperton fabricated the Reynobond MCM to help make this high school football stadium unforgettable.
