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 ...
Concrete normally has one job: keeping buildings from tumbling down. But researchers in China have made a version that can do ...
D-printed cement supercapacitors could turn concrete walls and floors into structural energy storage for smarter buildings.
Robotic 3D-concrete printing is complete on Los Angeles County’s first approved 3D-printed home, rebuilt after the 2025 Eaton ...
Imagine a future in which the very concrete beneath your feet and around your windows does more than hold a building upright.
University of New Mexico civil engineers patent ultra-ductile cementitious material. The idea of 3D printing with concrete has been around for a lot longer than you might expect. In fact, the founder ...
A team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed a new way to 3D print concrete structures, a technique that could simultaneously cut down on material use, costs, and climate-damaging ...
Armed with a 3D concrete printer, careful measuring tools, and just the right ingredients, a team at The University of New ...
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 ...
Although we've heard a lot about how 3D-printing concrete homes speeds up the construction process, you still have to wait up to 28 days for the concrete to sufficiently cure. A new printable ...
Why it matters: At the University of Pennsylvania's Polyhedral Structures Laboratory, a team of architects and engineers is rethinking how one of the world's most polluting building materials could ...
Recently, Aims Community College announced the new program it is offering starting in July 2024 for students to learn about 3D printing in construction and concrete. This class in Greeley, Colo. is ...
