China3D printingNet, August 24, thanks in large part to its ambitious3D printingStrategy, Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The state has used the technology in a variety of applications, from mobility and environmental applications to medical and construction. Many opportunities and initiatives come from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority ( DEWA).

DEWA’s vision is to be an innovative, sustainable utility and use3D printingCreate spare parts and prototypes for its distribution, production and transmission departments, and support the digitization of its inventory.Its R&D center located in Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, in addition to providing mechanical testing, training, technical and economic analysis, and additive manufacturing R&D, it also supports3D printingPerform rapid prototyping. Now, DEWA is working hard to create advanced infrastructure and special additive manufacturing software through its R&D center to develop solutions that can improve Dubai’s operational efficiency and productivity.To this end, it is the first organization in the Gulf Cooperation Council, originally and commonly known as the “Gulf Cooperation Council” or GCC, with the purpose of deploying Markforged’s Metal X 3D printingmachine.
“DEWA3D printingThe program has been selected as one of Dubai’s 10X project. The initiative was initiated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Chief of Dubai. The order requires the Dubai government to become a global leader ten years ahead of all other cities. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of DEWA, said: “The plan also supports Dubai3D printingStrategy, this is a unique global plan that aims to use this technology to serve mankind and improve the performance of the UAE and Dubai by 20303D printingPosition as a global hub for technology. We are committed to the latest Fourth Industrial Revolution technology and world-class standards with our continuous efforts to improve the efficiency of energy and water production, transmission and distribution, and develop future services and projects to enhance DEWA as the best public utility in the world One of the status and enhance Dubai’s leading position in the world. “
The Metal X system uses Markforged’s Precision Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) technology and can print with a variety of metals, such as stainless steel, Inconel 625 and copper.It allows rapid prototyping, small batch production and on-demand spare parts3D printing, All of these will help DEWA enhance3D printingInnovate, reduce costs and increase efficiency.
“We are committed to innovating and developing new3D printingEquipment, and draft quality procedures and regulations. DEWA’s R&D center supports the development of components that can withstand high temperatures and severe weather conditions.3D printing.It includes the latest3D printingTechnologies such as reinforced plastic printers using carbon fiber or glass fiber blends; CYBE printers; and Markforged Metalx metal printers. “Al Tayer explained, “The center has strengthened DEWA staff’s3D printingAspect ability. In addition, it has accumulated the experience of engineers and researchers and consolidated their knowledge in additive manufacturing, thereby supporting national capabilities. The center’s UAE researchers have reached 70%, including 40 male and female researchers. Among them, 20 are holders of doctorate and master degrees. “
