With concrete accounting for about 8% of global carbon emissions, architecture and construction industries have been hard at work trying to find a material similarly affordable, versatile, strong, and ...

Affordable, versatile, incredibly strong and locally available, concrete is the world’s most used manmade material. But it also has a huge carbon footprint, accounting for around 8% of global ...

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 ...

The header image above shows a completely unsupported 3D-printed bridge, believe it or not. You’re looking at the bottom of the print. [Make Wonderful Things] wondered whether unsightly unsupported ...

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 ...

Researchers at The University of New Mexico (UNM) have achieved a major milestone in construction innovation by patenting a bendable concrete material designed for 3D printing. Armed with a 3D ...

3D-printed concrete structures are claimed to be faster and cheaper to build than their traditional counterparts, but they're not always as strong. That problem may soon be solved by adding a pinch of ...

Explore the innovative 3D printed bridge by SCG in Bangkok, a landmark of digital fabrication enhancing the historic Ong Ang ...

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 ...
