AECOM Signed a memorandum of strategic cooperation with Winsun, aiming to promote the application of 3D printing architecture design and construction

World's leading all-round comprehensive service enterprise AECOM announced today that they signed a memorandum of strategic cooperation with Winsun. According to this memorandum, in the future three years, AECOM and Winsun plan to offer service to global customers by using the advantages of 3D printing architecture.

“ At present, the application of 3D printing technology in infrastructure is like the tip of iceberg, and its huge potential remains to be explored. In the future, we will have a global cooperation with Winsun. We will actively negotiate with our customers to bring 3D printing technology to the proper project. We were thrilled for this.” Mr. Zhong said in the signing ceremony: “ AECOM hopes to cooperate with Winsun to deliver integrated build environments to customers, help customers shorten construction cycles, and reduce carbon emissions throughout the construction process by using the leading advantages of 3D printing architecture.”

3D printing is an additive manufacturing technology that has been used in the past few years to produce small objects within a meter in diameter. But in recent years, the size of printable objects has grown larger and wider, and even in aerospace and automotive. But in terms of the largest scale of applications, 3D printing applications for overall building or building components could have a disruptive impact on the construction industry. The advantages of 3D printing for construction projects include: Because the design and construction are part of the integrated digital process, it can effectively reduce the error and reduce the waste generated in the construction site.

“ Winsun is glad to have a global strategy cooperation with AECOM, the leading infrastructure company,” President Ma said that “ This will accelerate the development of our 3D printing architecture technology, and truly realize the concept of 3D printing architectural technology from the beginning of the planning and design stage.”

AECOM and Winsun has seen the potential opportunity to provide service to customers in in the Middle East. Also, 3D printing architecture technology are expected to extent to more wide regions to help the customers overcome various challenge. In the coming decades, developing regions such as Asia and Africa will be the main ground for a new round of urbanization in the world. China's "One Belt And One Road" initiative will also trigger a new wave of infrastructure construction. Therefore, 3D printing architecture will have a brighter future.
