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 ...

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, ...

“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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — What if the inherent weaknesses of a material actually made houses and buildings stronger during wildfires and earthquakes? Purdue University researchers have 3D-printed cement ...

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 ...

The first house in California's first micro community of 3D printed homes stood between two metal tracks on a West Linda lot in Yuba County, nearly complete and unlike any of the other single-family ...

In May, Danish startup 3DCP Group unveiled its first build in Denmark: a 3D-printed tiny home. The concrete home was built in five weeks but COBOD's BOD2 system was only actively printing for 22 hours ...

Researchers around the world are working to find ways to make concrete greener, including at the University of Pennsylvania.

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, but its production is a significant source of carbon emissions due to the energy-intensive process of cement manufacturing. As the ...
