Building with 3D printers has matured rapidly in recent years, as advances in technology and material science allow for grander and more ambitious designs. The potential uses are also increasingly ...
3D printing has been unlocking new ways to solve bespoke issues for a long time now. One of the more interesting developments isn’t only what it can make, but what materials it can print. More ...
Instead of using more and more concrete and steel, a research team is focusing on intelligent shapes, digital manufacturing, and alternative binders. The aim is to create a climate-friendly building ...
A 3D-printed home can rise in 48 hours, but the biggest challenge begins after the concrete walls are finished.
(Nanowerk News) Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world. It can be used in many ways, can be produced locally and is very durable. Its environmental performance, on the other ...
The latest 3D printing application? Forming concrete. That’s according to a team at ETH Zurich who claims that construction with foam forms cuts concrete usage up to 70%. It also offers improved ...
In this video, we explore the process of 3D printing a 6000lb statue out of concrete. Discover how concrete printers work and the technology behind 3D concrete printing, which is significantly faster ...
Concrete is a very popular building material, enough so that one of its key ingredients – sand – is in increasingly short supply. Scientists are thus now exploring the possibility of replacing that ...
3D Printing Media Network recently published a story about how the U.S. Marines used a 3D printer to build a concrete rocket launcher shelter. According to the article, ICON, known for 3D printing ...
New research addresses some of the technical issues that still need to be solved for 3D printed concrete to be strong enough for use in more free-form structures. Researchers found lobster-inspired ...
“We started in a home garage in Palm City, Florida, focusing on smaller projects like custom architectural and landscape elements,” D’Angelo says. Now, the Stuart, Florida-based company has clients in ...
