World Housing has been fighting homelessness since 2013, seeking sustainable and viable solutions to ensure that everyone can have a roof over their heads. It recently formed a partnership with Twente Additive Manufacturing (TAM), a Dutch manufacturer of 3D concrete…

Printed Farms, a Florida based start-up, has completed the 3D printing stage of the first 3D printed building in Florida. The project was completed using a COBOD BOD2 printer, which has been successfully used in a number of 3D printing…

The first ever 3D printed school is set to open its doors later this year. It may seem that the novelty of this feat is somewhat lessened by the dozens of additive manufacturing construction projects preceding it. But rest assured,…

WASP (World’s Advanced Saving Project), an Italian 3D printing company working especially in the realm of sustainable construction, has completed the printing phase of the TECLA supporting structure, the first 3D printed eco-habitat. The TECLA project was launched in 2019…

If you follow developments in the 3D printing construction sector, you will have noticed the accelerated growth it has undergone in recent months. With an ever-increasing demand for a new way to deliver more resilient homes at speed, the future…

Architecture is both the process and product of planning, designing, and constructing physical structures. A good architect can often transform an average space into an aesthetically superior and practical design. Several years ago, the architecture and design sector started experimenting…

Additive manufacturing technologies combine the advantages of reduced manufacturing costs, faster production times and resource efficiency. In the construction sector, by using concrete as the additive material, the industry is also able to leverage the benefits of additive manufacturing. It…

The HS HITECH 3D printing service uses additive manufacturing to build modular structures including customised structural elements called Blobee. Thanks to HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology, they were able to design the various joints of a glass substructure, surpassing current…

Concrete is one of the most widely used man-made building materials and one of the world’s most consumed substances, second only to water. It is cheap, abundant, and capable of heavy loads, but, it is also brittle and tends to…

Additive manufacturing has established itself as not only a viable, but desirable solution for many architecture-related projects. Architects and designers choose to use 3D printing for various reasons: more complex geometries, sustainability, unique material properties, lower costs. For instance, we…
