In response to the Arab Group for Industrialization (AOI), Egypt is accelerating its adoption of 3D printing to provide spare elements throughout key industries. In partnership with IMMESNA, a digital manufacturing firm, the AOI hosted a workshop at its Digital Manufacturing Heart to highlight the transformative position of 3D printing and digital equipment.
Main Normal Eng. Mokhtar Abdellatif, Chairman of the AOI, emphasised Egypt’s dedication to leveraging superior manufacturing applied sciences consistent with its Imaginative and prescient 2030 objectives. He famous that the AOI is already conducting a full wants evaluation and can start manufacturing spare elements utilizing 3D printing instantly. This contains elements for the automotive, aerospace, medical, and heavy equipment sectors.
AOI’s Digital Manufacturing Heart, housed inside the Engine Manufacturing unit, is supplied with cutting-edge methods aligned with Fourth Industrial Revolution requirements. It has efficiently localized manufacturing of crucial elements – reminiscent of industrial pumps—and is able to assembly each home and worldwide high quality requirements.
Engineer Mohamed Shimi, Minister of the Public Enterprise Sector, underscored the significance of embracing 3D printing to modernize Egypt’s industrial base, cut back imports, and create jobs. He known as for strategic partnerships between private and non-private sectors to drive digital transformation and native manufacturing capability.
Dr. Engineer Sayed Ismail, Deputy Minister of Housing, additionally praised the initiative, particularly for its potential to assist infrastructure methods like water purification and wastewater therapy. He burdened the significance of boosting the native element in Egyptian manufacturing and exploring export alternatives to Africa and the Gulf.
The workshop represents a serious step towards Egypt’s purpose of commercial self-sufficiency. As Eng. Abdellatif famous, “manufacturing spare elements utilizing 3D printing and digital machines is an modern course of” that allows fast, on-demand, and cost-effective manufacturing of high-precision elements, together with these which are in any other case out of date.
This marks a pivotal second in Egypt’s journey to localize superior applied sciences and set up itself as a regional manufacturing chief.
