Description

The 3D and 4D technology sector in the United Kingdom has experienced notable expansion in recent years, propelled by advancements in fields such as construction, engineering, and entertainment. The adoption of 3D technologies for tasks like design visualization, modeling, and prototyping has become increasingly widespread. A key milestone came in April 2024, when the University of Wolverhampton partnered with leading 3D printer manufacturers EOS and AMCM to establish the UK Center of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing. Similarly, in January 2024, Capital Consulting International (CCi), a global professional services firm, introduced its advanced digital technology platform and 4D services.

Ongoing innovation across multiple industries is fueling further interest in these emerging technologies. In healthcare, for example, 3D printing is being used to develop customized implants and prosthetics, offering tailored solutions that significantly enhance patient care. Meanwhile, 4D technology—which adds a time-based dimension to 3D objects—is opening up new possibilities in interactive media and design. In entertainment, 4D elements allow objects to react and transform based on user interaction, creating dynamic experiences. In architecture and construction, 4D modeling enables the visualization of how structures will evolve over time, improving project planning and execution.

UK-based companies are also investing in education and training to build a skilled workforce capable of leveraging the full potential of these technologies. As a result, the country is well-positioned to remain at the forefront of global innovation in both 3D and 4D printing.

Government support is playing a key role in driving this technological momentum. Investments in research and development are fostering collaboration between universities, private enterprises, and public institutions. Moreover, the increasing emphasis on sustainability is encouraging businesses to adopt additive manufacturing techniques that minimize waste and energy use. Through these combined efforts, the UK continues to solidify its leadership in the rapidly evolving world of 3D and 4D technologies.

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.
