Immensa Technology Labs launches the
UAE’s first ever 3D printing facility
Immensa Technology Labs, the UAE’s leading Additive
Manufacturing (AM or 3D printing) company, has launched
the country’s first 3D printing facility.
This is in line with the ‘Dubai 3D Printing Strategy’
launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and
Ruler of Dubai.
Immensa’s state-of-the-art facility houses over eight 3D
printing systems and offers over 30 materials for production.
It is equipped to build and manufacture production quality
parts, components and one-off prototypes for customers
across a variety of industries using a wide range of
advanced technologies including Selective Laser Sintering,
Stereolithography, Extrusion and Material Jetting.
Immensa’s multi-disciplinary engineers collaborate closely
with partners to solve their most complex manufacturing
problems by providing integrated digital and mechanical
design and manufacturing solutions.
The company also offers full consultation on the
integration of 3D printing into manufacturing processes.
Fahmi Al-Shawwa, CEO of Immensa Technology Labs, said:
“There are ample opportunities for organisations in the UAE to
adopt AM to enhance their efficiencies and competitiveness,
and we are focused on providing world-class and viable 3D
printing solutions. Our team is passionate about 3D printing,
design and manufacturing, and we cover the entire process to
help our clients at every step of the way, from design concepts
and material options to technology selection, 3D printing
production and post-production processing.”
Technology to make
taxis safer in Dubai
Taxis in Dubai will be made safer thanks to a
technological innovation.
FMS Tech, a global telematics systems provider, along with its
partner Technologica, has been awarded a project with Dubai
Taxi Corporation (DTC), which is a subsidiary of RTA.
This is for the supply and installation of FMS Tech’s
Telematics device on the DTC fleet and FMS Tech Device
Management Platform.
The project will include over 100 telematics parameters
obtained by the FMS TECH device from limousine vehicles
and sent across to the RTA RMS (Regulatory Monitoring
System) Platform.
This data is then analysed to evaluate the performance of the
drivers and vehicles by DTC’s fleet managers and relayed to the
drivers to improve their driving habits.
Road safety is only one aspect that the new system will aim
to enhance, as it will also aid better understanding driver
routes and reduce the amount of time a car is not being
used. In turn this will reduce costs and improve the over-all
customer experience.

“We look forward to seeing the results that the new devices
will achieve for RTA and assist in paving the way to safer
and more connected roads.”
