the mining industry and the rapidly advancing additive construction sector,\u201d says Butler. \u201cTogether, we will help to address some of today\u2019s most urgent challenges, including reducing industrial waste, increasing access to affordable housing and mitigating skilled labour shortages in remote communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work, says Butler, has potential to develop alternate
