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 ...
Early experiments with graphene predicted that it could increase the strength of concrete by up to 40%. 3D concrete printing definitely makes the list of developing technologies that are changing the ...
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 ...
Researchers at The University of New Mexico (UNM) have achieved a major milestone in construction innovation by patenting a bendable concrete material designed for 3D printing. Armed with a 3D ...
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 ...
Scientists have developed a 3D concrete printing method that captures carbon, demonstrating a new pathway to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. Scientists at Nanyang ...
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 ...
CAMP HANSEN, Okinawa — Marines are applying advances in 3D-printed concrete to military uses ranging from ramps to makeshift railheads, according to the operations chief of the 9th Engineer Support ...
A major milestone in construction has arrived. This time from Western Australia. Contec Australia has completed the nation's first multi-story 3D concrete printed home. Located in Tapping near Perth, ...
