Description

As technological advancements continue to reshape global industries, the use of 3D printing and next-generation manufacturing processes is becoming increasingly essential—especially in fields like automotive, aerospace, and materials engineering. In December 2024, Tohoku University in Japan achieved a major breakthrough by developing a steel-aluminum alloy using 3D printing technology. This innovation successfully addressed the common brittleness issue associated with such alloys. Utilizing precision laser techniques, researchers created a strong yet lightweight material with promising applications in the automotive sector, potentially enabling the production of high-performance, energy-efficient vehicle components. This milestone underscores Japan’s prominent role in the evolution of 3D printing and its potential to accelerate the growth of both 3D and 4D technology markets.

In the domain of 4D technology, Japan is also advancing research into smart, adaptive materials. Institutions like the University of Tokyo and Shibaura Institute of Technology are at the forefront of 4D printing—developing materials that respond to external conditions such as heat, light, or moisture by altering their shape or function over time.

These rapid technological advancements are extending beyond traditional industries, impacting areas such as biotechnology, construction, electronics, and fashion. In biotechnology, Japan is making significant strides in 3D bioprinting, where customized prosthetics and tissue structures are being developed to meet individual patient needs. Using cellular scaffolds and bio-inks, Japanese researchers are working toward the creation of functional organs and implantable tissues, potentially solving the issue of organ shortages and improving patient recovery outcomes.

Japan is also leveraging 3D printing in construction to develop intricate architectural forms that are more cost-effective, sustainable, and faster to build. Companies are experimenting with 3D-printed concrete to produce modular housing and public infrastructure. A standout initiative involves designing earthquake-resistant structures using 3D-printed materials engineered to absorb seismic energy, which aligns with Japan’s extensive expertise in earthquake resilience. This innovation not only meets the country's specific infrastructural demands but also presents a scalable and affordable alternative to conventional construction practices.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
