Dubai start-up Renca, a member of the state's Future Accelerators programme, has created an environmentally friendly cement compound using industrial waste that's ideal for 3D printing. Russian businessman Alex Reggiani and Italian geologist and mineralogist Andrey Dudnikov formed Renca to develop the geopolymer cement, which costs less to use in 3D printers than traditional Portland cement, needs only a 10th of the energy to produce and performs better in high temperatures.
