United Utilities, a British water supply company, is progressing its plans to adopt 3D printing methods across its AMP8 delivery and daily operations. The move comes as the trailblazing ‘Water Industry Printfrastructure’ (WIP) project reaches its conclusion after two successful years during which several industry firsts have been achieved. Funded through Ofwat’s Innovation Fund, the project was led by United Utilities, in partnership with tech innovators ChangeMaker3D, Manchester Metropolitan University’s (MMU) PrintCity, and Scottish Water.
