The level of difficulty in designing electro-technique devices has increased owing to thermal stress. With the development of electric vehicles and electric aircraft, and to keep up with the recent trend to create smaller electronic devices with reduced weight and increased efficiency, designers lean on improved thermal analysis systems or tools.

Governments worldwide have pledged to stop the manufacturing of petrol and diesel vehicles to reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson intends to ban the sale of such cars by 2030, followed by hybrid vehicles by 2035. The USA, Japan, and China also have similar agendas.

Desktop Metal looks set to make additive manufacturing even more attractive by allowing the 3D printing of complex metal parts in an office environment in a simple two-step process.
A research team at the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Washington State University (WSU) in the USA, has developed a recyclable carbon-fiber-reinforced composite material that could directly substitute conventional non-recyclable CFRPs into the existing manufacturing processes.
