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 ...

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 ...

Shimizu Corporation develops spray-based 3D concrete printing - integrating a gantry robot with a material spray simulator.

“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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a 3D concrete printing method that captures carbon, demonstrating a new pathway to reduce the ...

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 ...

"Concrete is an artificial stone, and like stone, it does not want to be a straight beam, it wants to be a masonry arch," explained Philippe Block, Co-Director, Block Research Group at ETH Zurich.

(CNN) — Building with 3D printers has matured rapidly in recent years, as advances in technology and material science allow for grander and more ambitious designs. The potential uses are also ...
