Although we've heard a lot about how 3D-printing concrete homes speeds up the construction process, you still have to wait up ...
In recent years, additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has emerged as a sustainable method to solve construction challenges ...
When natural disaster strikes, a building’s survival often depends on how it’s built. Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a fast, highly accurate simulator for spray-based concrete 3D ...
A new concrete is intended to make 3D printing houses more environmentally friendly. But this is not the only advantage over ...
Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a quick-setting, environmentally friendly alternative to concrete they ...
Concrete 3D printing reduces both time and cost by eliminating traditional formwork, the temporary mold for casting. Yet most of today's systems rely on extrusion-based methods, which deposit material ...
Marines have used a specialized 3D concrete printer to print a 500-square-foot barracks room in just 40 hours. The innovative project created the world’s first continuous 3D-printed concrete barracks, ...
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 ...
We didn’t notice [Nikita]’s post about building a concrete 3D printer, a few months ago, but the idea seems sound: build a basic CNC XY axis and then add a mortar pump and hose to deposit concrete.
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 ...
Cementitious 3D construction printing (3DCP) or 3D concrete printing is a form of additive manufacturing that can fabricate custom objects from small components such as architectural furniture, or ...
Gizmodo’s 3D Printing Week, a collaborative project with GE that comes to a close this evening, would only be partially complete without a look at the use of animals as living 3D printers. They are ...
