It’s located in Qatar, where the structure is part of that country’s massive 3D printed public school project. UCC Holding is ...
Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed these forms into concrete to boost strength and capture carbon – creating a ...
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 ...
3D printing of concrete structures including homes has made a dent in the news, but less so when it comes to penetrating the market for new homes or commercial structures. Barriers to progress for ...
"The sensor data and 'digital twin' will help infrastructure professionals better understand how 3D printing can be used and tailored to print larger and more complex cement-based materials for the ...
Imagine concrete extruded from a computer-controlled nozzle, rather like an enormous pastry icer “building” a layer cake. This is how 3D concrete printing (3DCP) works. It’s real and it has the ...
A 3D-printed home can rise in 48 hours, but the biggest challenge begins after the concrete walls are finished.
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 ...
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 ...
A print nozzle sweeps back and forth around a small plot in Tempe, Ariz., and the walls of a single-family home begin to take shape. Two technicians keep an eye on the gantry-mounted 3D concrete ...
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 ...
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 ...
