Architecture

The architecture and construction sectors have been enjoying the benefits offered by 3D printing technologies for a while now. From houses 3D printed in just a few days to military structures to bridges, additive manufacturing is being embraced by more and…

We have seen by now how additive manufacturing can inspire designers to create shapes and forms that were impossible to make with conventional manufacturing methods. New designs are emerging not only in fashion, but also architecture. With the ever increasing…

The construction sector has been exploring the potential of additive manufacturing for the past several years. Today,  the idea of a 3D printed house does not shock people anymore, as we have seen more than one 3D printed building by…

The construction industry is currently facing two major challenges: the demand for sustainable infrastructure and the need to repair deteriorating buildings, bridges and roads. While concrete is the material of choice for many construction projects, it has a large carbon…

ICON is a construction technologies company based in Austin, Texas. With the help of proprietary 3D printing robotics, software and advanced materials, ICON mainly focuses on solving problems in the construction industry, by making it more cost-effective, among other things. The…

In Belgium, a two-storey house has just been erected thanks to additive manufacturing: using the concrete 3D printer BOD2, developed by COBOD, the Kamp C company was able to construct a 90 square meter structure in only three weeks, and…

The use of concrete in 3D printing is revolutionizing the construction industry. From houses to pedestrian bridges, additive manufacturing provides a great deal of design freedom that goes beyond the limits of the imaginable. In fact, it may well be…

Additive manufacturing is starting to play a very important role in the construction industry. Concrete 3D printing keeps gaining more and more popularity among architects and construction firms for two main reasons – it is cheaper and faster than the…

3D construction printing (3DCP) refers to various technologies that use additive manufacturing as a core method to fabricate buildings or construction components. We have already written about several 3D printed bridges and the 3D printed floating house project. The most…

It’s already unusual to live in a house that floats, so imagine how it would be if it were 3D printed. This is the new concept developed in the Czech Republic: called Prvok, this small structure will not only have…

Architecture is always evolving as the years go by. In fact, increasingly, 3D printing technologies are providing the tools to imagine new projects for this sector. In Saudi Arabia, two architectural design studios, Precht and Mamou-Mani Architects have constructed a…

A number of designers and architects have been exploring 3D printing technologies in order to experiment with materials and structures. Yet another example is AIRLAB’s mesh-covered pavilion made from 3D printed steel nodes at Singapore’s Garden by the Bay. The…
