[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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
(Nanowerk News) Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world. It can be used in many ways, can be produced locally and is very durable. Its environmental performance, on the other ...
The latest 3D printing application? Forming concrete. That’s according to a team at ETH Zurich who claims that construction with foam forms cuts concrete usage up to 70%. It also offers improved ...
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 ...
Marines at Camp Pendleton, Calif. have successfully 3D-printed a reinforced concrete bridge. The feat, which took place in December, is the first time in the U.S. or the Western hemisphere that a ...
3D Printing Media Network recently published a story about how the U.S. Marines used a 3D printer to build a concrete rocket launcher shelter. According to the article, ICON, known for 3D printing ...
The homes are so weather-resistant, they can even withstand ballistic testing. “They’re bulletproof,” the builders say.
