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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Since it was invented in the 1980s, 3D printing has moved from the laboratory to the factory, the home and even outer space.

Imagine concrete extruded from a computer-controlled nozzle, rather like an enormous pastry icer “building” a layer cake. This is how 3D concrete printing (3DCP) works. It’s real and it has the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a 3D concrete printing method that captures carbon, demonstrating a new pathway to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. Scientists at Nanyang ...

“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 ...
