Description

In November 2024, the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) in South Africa teamed up with the University of Glasgow in Scotland to advance 3D-printed propulsion systems for space applications. This joint research project, backed by approximately US$108,000 from the UK Government through the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), aims to push the frontiers of propulsion technology in space exploration. The collaboration highlights South Africa’s emerging role in the global 3D and 4D technology landscape, especially within the aerospace industry. As the initiative progresses, it is expected to enhance South Africa’s reputation in additive manufacturing, stimulate research and innovation, and attract new investments to the country’s rapidly growing high-tech sectors.

The partnership also marks a significant development in South Africa's ongoing efforts to become a major contributor to global space innovation. It aligns with the country’s broader strategic goals, which include participating in international space missions and advancing satellite technology. South Africa’s increasing prominence in space research is reflected through initiatives led by the South African National Space Agency (SANSA), which plays a crucial role in shaping space technology initiatives across Africa.

Financial support from the UK Government, combined with both domestic and international contributions, is anticipated to fuel further advances in additive manufacturing. South Africa has already made notable progress in this area, particularly in aerospace, and is well-positioned to apply these technologies across other sectors such as automotive production, healthcare innovation, and sustainable construction. This growing expertise in 3D and 4D printing is strengthening the country's technological edge and contributing to its role as a regional leader in advanced manufacturing and space technology.

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.
