The three expos are the 8th edition of the Hyderabad International Machine Tool & Engineering Expo (HIMTEX). It will be run concurrently with the India Process Expo & Conference (IPEC) and the Eco Sustain Expo from August 16th to 18th, 2024. These events provide a platform for showcasing the latest innovations and developments in the manufacturing sector, offering opportunities for networking, collaboration, and growth.

The three significant expos—HIMTEX, IPEC, and Eco Sustain Expo—cater to the diverse needs of a manufacturer. HIMTEX focuses on machine tools, considered the backbone of manufacturing; IPEC emphasizes innovation and process trends; while Eco Sustain Expo centres on sustainable practices added Srikanth TG, Business Head of HITEX.

HIMTEX 2024 is fuelling supply chain efficiency and industrial growth across the youngest Indian state Telangana, Srikanth T G said.

The Hyderabad International Machine Tool and Engineering Expo (HIMTEX) is a prominent event that showcases the latest advancements in machine tools, engineering equipment, and manufacturing technology. Spread over 10,500 square meters, it will feature 225 exhibitors from across 14 states in India.

Strong participation from the robotics, 3D printing, and automation sectors it will have exhibitors such as Suresh Indu Lasers Pvt Ltd, KTM Technology & Innovations (India) Pvt. Ltd, Bharat Fritz Werner, Carl Zeiss India (Bangalore) Pvt. Ltd, Kitagawa India Private Limited, Global CNC Private Limited, Mitutoyo South Asia Pvt Ltd etc.

Machine tool manufacturers from Rajkot, Gujarat supported by (MTMA – Machine Tool Manufacturers Association – Rajkot) and Ludhiana, Punjab (LMTMA – Ludhiana Machine Tool Manufacturers Association) and other associations, it is expecting a lot of group participation.

International companies from countries including the USA, Germany, Italy, South Korea, China, Israel, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, and Spain will participate through their Indian dealers and distributors, Srikanth added

Eco Sustain Expo dedicated to promoting sustainable manufacturing practices and eco-friendly technologies will have participants from 8 states. Some leading companies such as Satyajit Renewable Engineering Pvt. Ltd, Gattuwala Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd, Proveg Engineering & Food Processing Pvt Ltd, ASTRAL LIMITED, Jay Khodiyar Machine Tools, Spantech Engineers Pvt Ltd, AXIS Solar Systems, Akash Blowers Pvt Ltd, KEP ENGINEERING Services Pvt Ltd and Southern Ecologics & Services Pvt. Ltd will participate

The exhibition will have a wide array of products, equipment displayed such as solid Waste Technologies, Effluent treatment technologies, cutting-edge air pollution control strategies, and innovative recycling solutions. Along with the display of the equipment, a Technical Conference will be held on Innovations and Strategies in Waste Management – Solid waste, Effluent treatment, Air pollution and Recycling techniques. There will be curated buyer and seller meetings. It will also have an exclusive area to showcase cutting-edge innovations in solid waste management, effluent and water treatment, and bio-waste recycling technologies.

The third expo is the India Process Expo and Conference (IPEC) will be about the process industry, encompassing sectors such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, oil and gas, and water treatment. Companies such as Zen Adsorptions Pvt. Ltd, Speciality Products and Services (India) LLP, Protech Engineers, C.R.I Pumps Private Limited, Lubi Industries LLP, Graphite India Limited, Viral Enterprise, Mangalam Worldwide Ltd, Pneucon Automation Pvt. Ltd and Mech Engineering will be participating from ten states from across India.

A Technical Conference will be along with the expo on advancements and innovations in Process Engineering and some key topics are Chemical and Process Engineering in the Manufacturing Sector, Scope and Importance of Robotics and Automation in the Process Industry, Energy Efficiency in Pharma Manufacturing and Guidelines for Selecting Proper Graphite Equipment. A buyers and sellers meeting is also lined up along with the expo.

3D Printing for Construction – Leaner and Greener

Jan 24, 2024 by Sujata Muguda 0 Comments #3D printing, #IEEE, #Manpreet Singh Manna, #Shailaja Patil, #Singh Manna

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), has come a long way since the technology was initially conceived decades ago. In more recent years, 3D printing has increased in popularity and prominence, with open source further democratizing the technology – major companies and individual enthusiasts alike now deploy the technology to construct everything from car parts to prosthetics to gadgets and gizmos.

But one of technology’s best applications might be its least heralded – construction.

“3D printing is a rapidly developing technology that has the potential to revolutionize construction,” said Shailaja Patil, IEEE Senior Member. “By allowing the rapid and efficient production of complex construction components, 3D printing enables the creation of highly configurable structures both on and off-site.”

3D Printing And Counstruction – A Match Made In Heaven

The technique usually involves materials that are commonly used in construction – like concrete.

IEEE Senior Member Manpreet Singh Manna describes 3D printing as “a process that involves building a 3D project layer by layer, using a computer-controlled printer.”

And in the construction industry, 3D printing is particularly beneficial, according to Singh Manna, as it has opened up a new world of possibilities for architects, engineers and builders.”

Additionally, the environmental and financial benefits of 3D printing in construction mustn’t be overlooked – after all, the construction of buildings accounts for 11% of global carbon emissions, according to the World Green Building Council.

“3D printing has enabled the construction industry to enhance sustainability while simultaneously cutting expenses and minimizing construction time,” said Patil. “The technology is truly a promising advancement in construction practices, with some companies even exploring the potential of building with alternative, and more eco-friendly, such as mud, recycled plastic and bamboo.”

According to Patil, 3D printing is utilized in construction in various ways, including:

Component Prefabrication: Manufacturing components off-site and then transporting them where needed, reducing construction time and costs.

Formwork Printing: Fabricating intricate shapes and designs to create templates or molds, facilitating the casting of structures to help to reduce the need for traditional formwork, which can be time-consuming and costly.

On-site Manufacturing: Using a sizable 3D printer at a construction site to develop an entire design, such as a building, which is often faster and more cost-effective than traditional construction methods.

Concrete Printing: Printing concrete in layers to create various, oftentimes complex, structures, reducing the amount of work required to develop certain shapes and designs.

When it comes to large construction projects, AM can be leveraged at scale to create entire buildings – and even infrastructure.

“Large-scale 3D printers can be leveraged to develop components like walls, floors, and roofs for assembly on-site,” said Singh Manna. “This approach has many advantages when it comes to home building, including faster construction times and reduced costs, but it also applies to physical infrastructure – in fact, this method was utilized in Amsterdam and Mumbai to construct pedestrian bridges in the past few years.”

And as the underlying AM technologies – design software, robotics and automation, and materials science – improve, we’ll become capable of printing larger, more complex structures with greater precision and efficiency.

“While 3D printing is not yet ubiquitous in construction, it is rapidly increasing in popularity – and it’s no wonder why,” said Singh Manna.

Patil agrees.

“The future of 3D printing in construction and industry is exciting and full of possibilities.”
