3D printing construction technologies company 3DXB Group recently participated in the third Energy & Sustainability Summit, held at the Habtoor Grand Resort in Dubai.
The Energy & Sustainability Summit gathered industry leaders, government officials, and stakeholders to collaborate on advancing sustainability efforts post COP28.
Endorsed by the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, this year’s summit underlined the urgent need for the construction and energy sectors to accelerate decarbonisation initiatives and achieve net zero goals.
Bassel Khaled, Technical & Factory Manager at 3DXB, shared insights in the discussion on ‘Sustainable Materials and Decarbonizing Construction Sites.’
The panel explored topics such as reducing embodied carbon, identifying alternative materials, and exploring innovative technologies like 3D printing for sustainable development.
“Dubai has issued decree regulating the use of 3D printing in the construction sector in the emirate. The decree intends to promote Dubai as a regional and international hub for 3D printing technology. The legislation aims to improve efficiencies in construction projects, increase the competitiveness of the local industry, reduce waste and attract leading companies in the sector to Dubai as part of a larger plan to spur economic growth and promote the adoption of advanced technologies in the emirate. Our participation in such events go in line with contributing in implementing this decree,” said Badar Rashid AlBlooshi, Chairman of 3DXB Group.
Khaled also discussed the potential of 3D printing and modular construction technologies in advancing sustainable development, highlighting their efficiency gains and resource savings.
“Technologies like 3D printing offer opportunities to streamline processes and minimize waste. These innovations hold the key to unlocking sustainable development globally, and 3DXB is at the forefront of their implementation.”
