Most 3D-printed houses we cover are either arranged on one floor or have an upper floor added later using a timber shell.
Construction technology company ICON partnered with New Story, a nonprofit dedicated to providing housing for families in need around the globe, to create the first permitted 3D printed concrete home.
Backed by Lib Work Co., Arup, and World's Advanced Saving Project, also known as WASP, the Lib Earth House Model B spans ...
We have trialled using recycled glass as a component of concrete for 3D printing. Concrete is made of a mix of cement, water, and aggregates such as sand.
The 3D-printed concrete barracks requires a crew of only three trained workers during construction, though for continuous printing, about three shifts of crews are required to avoid burnout.
The “3D printers” control nozzles spouting concrete mix based on programmed coordinates, similar to a desktop 3D printer but at a much larger scale. They only require a small crew to operate.
Because the process for 3D concrete printing does not involve concrete forms, normal means of reinforcement like rebar and wire mesh cannot be used - graphene is proving to be one of the more ...
New research shows that patterns inspired by lobster shells can make 3D printed concrete stronger, to support more complex and creative architectural structures.
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 at Camp Pendleton 3D-print a concrete bridge in 3 days For the first time in the U.S. or the Western hemisphere, Marines at Camp Pendleton, California 3D-printed a concrete bridge.
Contec Australia has recently completed a two-story house in Tapping, Perth, that was 3D-printed in just under 18 hours.
