In-Situ Manufacturing
In-situ manufacturing refers to the process of creating products or structures directly at the location where they are needed, instead of in a factory and then transporting them. This approach allows for immediate adaptation to specific site conditions, reduces transportation costs, and minimizes waste. It is often used in construction, 3D printing, and resource extraction, enabling efficient use of materials and labor. By producing items on-site, in-situ manufacturing can lead to faster project completion and enhanced sustainability, as it often uses local resources and reduces the carbon footprint associated with shipping.
