will also be having a loss of mutual support as the last remaining arab country in this competition. when they faced spain you watching d. w. news shift living in the digital age is up. next. it takes a look at whether 3 d printing is more sustainable than other processes. there's more news available on our website, d, w dot com and on twitter and instagram at d. w. news. a michael oak, who in berlin, thanks for watching. as always, there's more news at the beginning of the next hour. stay up to date. don't miss our highlights. the d w program online. d, w dot com highlights. will you become criminal? m, pre kline. i am ready news with

hackers and paralyzed me. tire societies. computers than elsewhere. you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can only go wilson for. and that's how they can also go terribly watch it, new to nasa wants to had to mars and use a 3 d printer to print whatever they might need. 3 d printing is used in all types of sectors. blueprints for a 3 d printed guns can be found online, even meet as being freshly printed. some ideas are fascinating, others a bit worrying. but what about the ecological footprint? how sustainable is 3 d printing?

actually, that's our topic on shift today. ah. in 3 d printing a process called additive manufacturing as used. this means you add material layer by layer until the object is fully printed. for this many materials can be used to plastic metal and even chocolate. researchers are already experimenting with using human cells to print, skin or organs. there are also many 3 d printed houses just like these environmentally friendly. what's the u. s. based startup. azure 3 d prints. tiny houses made of recycled plastic. more than 60 percent of the raw material comes from recycled plastic bottles and food packaging. after house design is complete, it takes just 24 hours to print the buildings, outer structure. i sure says it's method of constructing houses. it's 70 percent

faster and 30 percent cheaper than conventional building method. 3 d printing is supposed to be more environmentally friendly. the construction industry is the largest consumer of raw material and responsible for about a 3rd global theo, 2 emission. the processes themselves, their energy intensive, and not much to 3 used for recycled. 3 d printing could change this as materials are considered more resource friendly. did printing is known well more formally as additive manufacturing, which obviously means instead of taking away you, adding one layer by one layer by one layer, that is obviously some waste of you have can failures other things. but it really reduces it because instead of getting rid of the material, you are just building up what you mean. in addition, less storage space is needed because the building materials are put together right on site. that can be incredibly useful, especially in crisis situation. there is

a huge place for 3 d printing and construction, especially in disaster stricken areas. are those with high homeless populations, sudden influx of population, from refugees or otherwise. there's a huge, huge opportunity here. a special using local materials to create new or sustainable concrete. and get things happening really quickly. building houses quickly and using recycled materials. sounds pretty great. but that alarm won't solve our plastic waste problem. after all, 91 percent of our plastic isn't being recycled, meaning it can't be used in construction. the 3 d printing sector could change this and his waste for good, that cannot even view we have to do on, on the marquee as now, we are grading. imagine that from the 3 percent to the 7 percent of the cost of each product we buy is the packaging. and then we throw it every day. you throw millions of my ideas, every one. and we thing that these,

my ideas are the base of anyway, industry packaging is that the only thing being salvaged. food waste is to one example, muscle shoals. they normally end up in the trash. but developers from spain are testing out ways to make them into new products using 3 d printed ah, we as a society, we will use a lot of ways went into the ocean like a leg, muscles muzzle shells. so we, these, we great powder and then we these by that we can transform it into a gain of ceramic. what we do is we 3, they bring these powder with some, all the materials. and then we can use these at the end as a sort of face or as an object that can be useful for. the researchers are experimenting with egg and nut shows as well. sustainability and 3 d printing may start with the materials, but that's not where it is. the inability is such a huge topic that we know we need to take

a lot into account in the fall and to and life cycle. so understanding the right materials and using the right amount of them being able to create lighter weight, more complex parts with less material, as well as using the least amount of power possible and shortening the carbon footprint by shortening the logistic. if the building materials don't need to be transported halfway across the world, that could lower our c o 2 emissions. of course, ideally we would be re purposing our trash to. the construction industry is experimenting with natural resources that are available locally. one example is clay. this chicken coop is made of clay a very traditional material, but it was built using modern technology. 3 d printing. still costs were kept low since clay is available locally. it's much cheaper than conventional breaks or cement. making use of local materials is important,

especially now in an energy crisis that hungarian christian cora. we leave those up a small gosh, last so the costs of modern building materials are rising so much annual that the choice will be clear on the quality might magnesium. so if you have to decide between i usually walks already in the ground next to you a lot will spinning endless amounts of money to manufacture and ship. the material valley thought that you're going to lean towards building that claim by a wells fargo bill. anthony esta. me like it. and that's not just cheaper. it's more environmentally friendly to hardly any transport is involved and the construction process uses much less energy. if you're right, what makes loan so great for 3 d printing. this material doesn't have to be manufactured. so you don't need to invest a lot of money in talking. unlike brick switch me to be burned or cement, which needs to reach 16021800 degrees celsius or production process b. i shall hear you take up the local soil,

mix it with clay and hay and then the printer can begin not mutual. not though cather, my genuine patasha ish it because of the technology is still in the development phase. but in 3 years christian gora intends to print a real house out of clay, non traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. i think it's a perfect match. another project in development is construction droughts, essentially flying 3 d printers. these get replaced energy intensive, heavy machinery, and take on more dangerous task at great heights. this can make the construction sector is safer and more environmentally friendly. this may be the future of construction. researchers from the imperial college london have developed a fleet of flying 3 d printers. our approach here was to think of multiple agents had worked together and, and liberate the 3 d printing process from the closed build envelope of ground based printouts. because of that, there are scalable,

we can have thousands of agents eventually and they can parallel eyes the manufacturing process. this would reduce the need for large machinery, which would decrease c o 2 emissions and lower cost plus the drones could tackle dangerous tasks like working on high buildings. i'm not saying that it might replace all of construction, but even if it touch 5 percent of the construction industry with this, it is already a huge gain and can reduce your to consumption, increase safety, reduce logistics needs, and like this help the sector, the drones use especially designed, ultra light weight cement, and they're completely autonomous. construction drones print while scanning drones check that everything is going to plan. the idea comes from nature. it's modeled on how wasps behave, these natural builders work together to build their homes. it's not about copying everything about the nature, it's copying the principal and then building struggling and building robots that

benefit from the philosophy of how the natural world operates very robustly in a scalable manner. and then benefiting from the best of technology that we have access to from works of art to custom, fitted prosthetic lengths. pretty printing is transforming ever rioting of sectors in the way we each, the foot printing market is expected to grow by about 50 percent annually over the next 5 years. bakeries are using 3 d printers to automate parts of the process or fulfilled special orders. and it may look nice, but food out of a printer that doesn't really sound tasty to me. this company prints meat, but it's not manufactured from animals. it's plant based using ingredients like beans, peas and coconut fat beaches is used to imitate blood. when i went through, i have a library of a few different slaps. i can choose each one of them, and i can adjust that. i can define the amount of marble in the channel

or the excel and elegance and i can start a new printer that reduces the start of plans to ramp up production and print up to $500.00 tons of food a month. they're already selling their vegetarian stakes in several european countries. in the past 2 years, we've been working deeply on understanding meet and what makes me so exciting. and we identified a few components that we can recreate from plants and have the same exact 2 performance as the tissue of animal me. the products are primarily geared towards people aiming to eat less meat or none at all. we feel world in a decade from now that new meat or meat made from plant is a big part of the meat industry. it replaces a lot of the me that people consumed today. that is bed for the environment and bed for the most. most of the people in the supply chain, i still believe that people will consume high quality, meet forever,

coming from animals. and these 2 industries will leave side by side. fake meet production in germany rose by about 62 percent between 20192021. ah. 3 d printed food could be a welcome relief for our oceans. over fishing, threatens to destroy marine habitats and throw ecosystems out of balance. start up from austria, produces 3 d printed salmon. the various components such as muscle and fat, are recreated using a range of plant based ingredients. the 3 d printer gives the famine it's typical consistency and look. while many people will continue eating, fish and meat, others are seeking out alternatives, which is great news for our ocean, the climate and the environment. so how about having a vegan stag from a 3 d printer for dinner that could reduce our environmental impact?

according to the ends, food and agriculture organization, nearly 15 percent, a harmful emissions come from livestock farming. when it comes to protecting the environment, 3 d printing may not be a bad idea. the 3 d printing is real, uniquely positioned to be a more sustainable and lust, wasteful industry than traditional manufacturing. it's still a young industry, so there are a lot of learning stops. i had to truly optimize and the cheapest potential. but the way that we're seeing it going, i can only believe that this is better for the world from a sustainability perspective. less waste, lighter objects, and more sustainable materials. 3 d printing is full of potential to make production processes much more energy and resource efficient. it's unbelievable to see all of the things that can be printed these days. what would you like to print and how do you think this technology could be his best? let us know. i and see you next time.
