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 ...
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 different conversation about the capabilities of 3D-printing is happening at edg, a New York architecture and engineering firm which focuses on technology-driven design and the restoration of ...
Concrete 3D printing reduces both time and cost by eliminating traditional formwork, the temporary mold for casting. Yet most ...
Kairos Power and Oak Ridge National Laboratory tested the potential of AM and composites to enable fast, repeatable ...
The construction sector faces significant challenges in decarbonizing its activities, particularly in the wake of a negative post-pandemic rebound. With the sector responsible for around 37 per cent ...
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 ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If you’ve got access to a 3D printer, some concrete, and a few ...
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, ...
A corner lot sat dormant in a quiet neighborhood of Houston, Texas. Unknown to the surrounding homeowners, an idea sat on the horizon that would change the look of the block for decades – and possibly ...
[Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to create some molds using 3D printing for concrete and plaster. He used a delta printer with flexible filament and documented his process in the video below. If you’ve ...
