3D Printing Materials: A $29.5 Billion Opportunity Ripe for Innovation, Says IDTechEx

Polymer, metal, wax, sand, concrete – as the 3D printing technology landscape has grown in diversity and complexity, so has the variety of materials compatible with these many processes. Whereas 3D printing used to be synonymous with low-cost thermoplastics for less demanding applications, it now sees more unique and high-performance materials enter the market annually, […] The post 3D Printing Materials: A $29.5 Billion Opportunity Ripe for Innovation, Says IDTechEx appeared first on Civil + Structural Engineer magazine.

IDTechEx Discuss Solving the Challenges of Mobile Construction Machine Electrification

Manufacturers in the $200 billion construction equipment market are facing a complex challenge. They must greatly reduce their dependence on diesel fuel, which is the lifeblood of their mobile machinery, and move to lower emission technologies. At the same time, they must continue to supply the performance their customers expect, whilst ensuring that the total […] The post IDTechEx Discuss Solving the Challenges of Mobile Construction Machine Electrification appeared first on Civil + Structural Engineer magazine.

Electric Construction Machines Vital for Cleaner and Greener Construction, Says IDTechEx

Construction machines are estimated to generate around 400 Mt of CO2 emission per year, which is around 1.1% of global CO2 emission. Decarbonization of non-road mobile machines will therefore be an important factor in efforts to limit global climate change. With an increasing number of countries around the world committing to a net-zero carbon future, […] The post Electric Construction Machines Vital for Cleaner and Greener Construction, Says IDTechEx appeared first on Civil + Structural Engineer magazine.

Unique Models Adopted by Li-ion Battery Recycling Start-Ups – Investigated By IDTechEx

Unlike typical product exchange business models, recycling is more complex. It provides a service that not only results in a material product but also positive externalities associated with reduced landfilling and sustainable material recovery. For Li-ion battery recycling, this means less unsustainable mining and a reduction in the transportation distance of battery metals due to recycling creating […] The post Unique Models Adopted by Li-ion Battery Recycling Start-Ups – Investigated By IDTechEx appeared first on Civil + Structural Engineer magazine.
