Humans have been building walls, bridges, and other structures without any steel or mortar reinforcement for a long time. A team led by Holcim has put a 3D-printed spin on the idea, and hopes to use ...

In Austin, Texas, a construction site hums without hammers or saws. Instead, a robotic nozzle extrudes layers of concrete, building walls bead by bead. This is the work of Icon, an eight-year-old ...

Armed with a 3D concrete printer, careful measuring tools, and just the right ingredients, a team at The University of New Mexico has worked hard to design the construction building blocks of the ...

"The sensor data and 'digital twin' will help infrastructure professionals better understand how 3D printing can be used and tailored to print larger and more complex cement-based materials for the ...

A cross-sectio of hollow rebar. Drexel University researchers have developed a new approach to reinforce concrete that takes inspiration from nature, specifically the hollow structures found in plant ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. House Zero in Austin, Texas, is a 2,000-square-foot home that was built with 3D-printed concrete. Lake Flato Architects In ...

Experts estimate around 60% of buildings that will exist in 30 years’ time have yet to be built. This equals constructing a city the size of Stockholm every week until 2050. However, the construction ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers identify fabrication constraints, reinforcement integration, sensing, and quality control as key factors in ...
