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 ...

“As soon as climate compatibility comes into play we have to look at mineral building materials. And this is where the really big CO2 potential savings can be increased.” says Andreas Trummer, expert ...

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 ...

Innovations in concrete and construction push the industry forward - onwards towards a bright future where a balance of efficiency, cost, and quality lay in perfect balance. One example of a young ...

It's been about five years since Emergent Construction launched in Redding, printing fire-resistant buildings out of concrete ...

Scientists are improving 3D concrete printing construction technology with rigorous research to make printable materials stronger, more sustainable and better performing. A research team led by ...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Automated Construction of Expeditionary Structures (ACES) program is a game changer for construction in remote areas. The project will supply rugged 3D concrete ...

After having radically transformed many sectors like automotive and aeronautics, digitisation and 3D printing has set sights on revolutionising construction. Today, regulations prohibit building with ...

Concrete is a very popular building material, enough so that one of its key ingredients – sand – is in increasingly short supply. Scientists are thus now exploring the possibility of replacing that ...

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 ...

Starbucks’ new drive-thru in Texas is the brand’s first 3D printed store in the U.S. The Brownsville location was built using a robotic arm that layers concrete. Starbucks hasn’t said if more 3D ...

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 ...
