World's first 3D-printed skyscraper to be built in UAE
The Express Tribune: A Dubai-based construction firm Cazza has announced its plans to build the world’ first 3D-printed skyscraper. According to the company, the skyscraper will be built in the United Arab Emirates.
Cazza uses a 3D printing construction system that combines mobile 3D printing robots with existing construction methods to make construction processes faster and cost-effective. In order to construct the high-rise building, the company will use the ‘crane printing’ technique
The firm will be able to 3D print high rises using a new construction technique called ‘crane printing’. For the process, the company will use cranes with added units designed to build 3D structures of 80m and above. While the cranes will 3D print specific parts of the building, the rest of the construction will be carried out via existing methods. Cont'd...

New Study Shows U.S. is World Leader in Robotics Automation - With $732 Billion of Robots; Larger Than Economy of Switzerland
-Study from CEBR and Redwood Software shows U.S. investment in robots more than doubled since hitting low in 2009
-U.S. investment in robotics rose 30% between 2011 and 2015
-Investment in robotics offers better long-run value for money than investments in financial services, real estate or transportation
-Robotics investment contributed around 10% of GDP per capita growth in OECD countries from 1993 to 2016
-Global robotics investment reached 18 year-peak in 2015
-There is a clear economic rationale backing the fact that humans and robots in the workplace are not mutually exclusive
Infineon invests S$105 million in Smart Factory
Calvin Hui for Channel News Asia: German semiconductor Infineon Technologies will invest S$105 million over the next five years into building a Smart Factory at its Singapore manufacturing facility.
This is part of Infineon’s push to implement what it calls a Smart Enterprise Programme, encompassing horizontal, vertical and digital integration.
For instance, it has introduced robots like automated guided vehicles, to facilitate the transportation of chips across different parts of the facility.
Senior engineer Foo Say Wee, said: “For the lots delivery, it used to be carried out manually by the operator who has to search the lots and carry the lot and hand it to the equipment. But today, employing automation, the lot will be automatically delivered to the operator and after that we have robotic vehicles that automatically come over and transport the lots to the equipment."
The company manufactures chips used in things like cars and electronic identification such as passports. Cont'd...
