ξ Shanghai is the industrial, financial, and commercial center of China
ξ It hosts a concentration of manufacturing activity in such key industries as
ξ automotive, electronics, telecommunications, machinery, textiles, iron and steel, and petrochemicals
ξ has a population of some 17.5 million, not including up to three million visitors who are in the city on any given day

ξ In 2005, exports from Shanghai to other parts of the world were US$ 90.7 billion,
ξ an increase of 23% over 2004, and constituting about 16% of China's total

ξ About 25 percent of China's total exports pass through Shanghai's ports.
ξ Two-way trade between Shanghai and the U.S. was more than US$ 31 billion in 2005, a 19% increase over 2004.

ξ Foreign direct investment (FDI) in East China has been increasing steadily for several years.
ξ In Shanghai, contracted FDI in 2005 was US$ 14 billion, and actual realized investment was US$ 6.9 billion.

ξ The U.S. is one of the top investors in Shanghai.
ξ The U.S. share of Shanghai’s cumulative FDI, at approx. US$ 9.5 billion, is roughly 10% of Shanghai's total.
ξ There are some 4,700 U.S.-invested projects in Shanghai.
ξ The American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai is the largest in Asia,
ξ with over 3,000 members, and some 80 new members per month
ξ Some 15,000 Americans are long-term residents of Shanghai, and many more work on short-term visas.
ξ The City of Shanghai has the status of a province and receives preferential treatment from the central government,
ξ particularly as an incubator for reforms and pilot projects
ξ Costs tend to be somewhat higher in Shanghai than in nearby cities, but the business environment is generally more transparent.

ξ Sectors to watch in the region are IT, telecommunications services,
ξ transportation infrastructure (ports, metro and light rail), distribution services, environmental technologies,

~ 3D Printing

Ten 3D-printed buildings open in Shanghai hi-tech zone
Ten 3D-printed constructions in the Shanghai Zhangjiang hi-tech zone's Qingpu Park officially became operational in August 2014.
The simply designed buildings have been constructed by Shanghai WinSun Decoration Design Engineering,
which has 12 years of experience in 3D printing.

3D-printed buildings can be constructed ten times more quickly than traditional structures.
Any high-cost, complex or curved structure can be built without templates and using fewer workers.

WinSun chairman Ma Yihe said the thermal insulation in 3D-printed buildings is better than regular homes
as the walls are hollow and can be filled with thermal materials.
Furthermore, the entire structure is seamless and therefore leak-proof, Ma added.

Ma was excited at the prospect of building houses with 3D printing technology,
which he said should be one of the most popular technologies in the 21st century given its cost effectiveness and labor efficiency.

3D printed houses were built in Shanghai from fiber reinforced cement
winsun new materials, a chinese company based in suzhou, china,
has managed to print 10 full-sized eco-friendly houses in just one day.
measuring 200 square meters and costing $4,800 USD to build,
each dwelling was created in under a few hours entirely out of recycled construction and
industrial waste with an enormous 3D printer.

Instead of using bricks and mortar, the system extrudes a mix of high-grade cement and glass fiber material,
layer by layer, similar to traditional rapid prototyping processes.

Using CAD for the architectural plan, calculated tracing paths consider insulation materials,
plumbing, electrical lining and windows, which can later be outfitted once the rest of the structure is assembled.

The printer generates a sort of open web joist structure that is probably strong and light;
the layers are then bonded together into the structure.
It's an interesting system in that there is room for wiring and insulation in those open webs.
Using computer and 3D modeling software, the designs of the building can also take into account additions like
insulation materials, plumbing, electrical lining and windows,
which can then be easily outfitted once the rest of the structure is solid and standing.

The printing material is recycled construction waste, industrial waste and tailings.
WinSun plans to build 100 recycling factories in the country, one in every 300km,
to collect and transform the waste into materials for 3D printing through special handling, processing and separation technology.

"There will not be any waste from the construction of new buildings." said WinSun CEO Ma YiHe.
WinSun expects 3D printing will save construction companies up to 50% on the cost.
