We’re accustomed to covering the use of 3D printing in casting, usually as a lost-PLA former in metal casting. That’s not the only use of the technique though, and perhaps one of the simplest is to ...

They have created a 3D concrete bridge that absorbs CO2 like bones and uses 60% less material than a conventional bridge.

Slow but steady growth in the use of 3D-printed concrete in construction brings in new firms and users, as the nascent industry finds the right market niches for a continually evolving technology As ...

3D printed concrete may lead to a shift in architecture and construction. Because it can be used to produce new shapes and forms that current technologies struggle with, it may change the ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) New research shows that patterns inspired by lobster shells can make 3D printed concrete stronger, to support more complex and creative architectural structures (3D Printing and ...

As we’ve seen through recently constructed office buildings in Dubai, bridges in the Netherlands and low-cost housing in Latin America, 3D printing is beginning to shape the way modern structures are ...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Automated Construction of Expeditionary Structures (ACES) program is a game changer for construction in remote areas. The project will supply rugged 3D concrete ...

Here’s the problem: the Army needs a building or bridge for a forward-deployment mission in another country. Shipping a full-scale structure or building materials may not be an option, especially if ...

Study shows that bio-mimicking spiral patterns inspired the natural strength of lobster shells can improve the overall durability of 3D printed concrete New research shows that patterns inspired by ...
