Argentina’s government plays a pivotal role in shaping the country’s construction sector, particularly through its complex import regulations and logistical challenges. Holcim’s launch of Tector 3D Mortar, a locally developed material for additive construction (AC), represents a significant milestone. This innovation, produced in collaboration with local machine maker Teknix, addresses Argentina’s import barriers by utilizing locally developed technology.
Digital advancements in 3D printing, such as Tector 3D Mortar, highlight the importance of local innovation in overcoming regulatory hurdles and advancing sustainable construction practices. The government’s regulatory framework influences the ease of importing high-tech construction materials, making local development crucial for technological advancement.
