This week, we start off with news of hope. After the devastation of the LA wildfires, people affected have been searching for ways to rebuild, and 3D printing is playing a role. Namely, 3D printed fireproof homes have risen in…

Anyone involved in 3D printing is unlikely to have missed the trend towards 3D printed houses. Innovative companies are continuously driving the establishment of 3D printing in the sector. Extrusion printing is often used in current projects, with huge printing robots…

In this week’s 3DExpress series, we review some of the most important news in the 3D printing sector. This time, we will talk about a 3D printed play structure in the shape of a Möbius Strip that has been installed…

Some of construction 3D printing’s greatest benefits include that the technology can often build structures faster and cheaper than traditional building methods. That said, it is logical to adopt the technology for social housing. In Grange Close, Ireland, the company…

Since January 7th, 2025, wildfires have been devastating southern California: more than 37 thousand acres of land have been scorched, leaving 28 people dead and more than 10,000 homes and businesses destroyed. Facing the wreckage, questions arise. How can this…

Indoor comfort generally requires a high energy input, which means that buildings account for a significant proportion of global carbon emissions. In 2020, for example, single-family homes consumed an average of 864 petajoules of heating energy, an enormously high figure.…

Concrete, construction 3D printing’s favorite material, is getting an upgrade thanks to research from the University of New Mexico (UNM). There, researchers patented a bendable concrete material design specifically formulated for 3D printing. This was not the only research project…

At the latest edition of Dubai Design Week, Japanese architecture studio Mitsubishi Jisho Design unveiled The Warp, a new sort of tearoom. Made from recycled wood using an extrusion 3D printing technique, this installation showcases an innovative approach called “Regenerative…

3D printing is gradually transforming the construction industry. Various projects, from houses to shopping malls, have already been created thanks to this technology. Today, one project in particular is attracting attention: researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (NTU Singapore)…

Construction 3D printing promises many advantages over traditional methods. It is often hailed as faster, cheaper and more sustainable than typical builds. However, there is still room for improvement. Concrete, the most commonly used material for construction 3D printing, leaves…

In this week’s #3DExpress, we welcome the wintry winds of December with a rather chilly offering. U.S. army scientists have successfully 3D printed an ice dollhouse, which they hope will open up possibilities for construction 3D printing in cold, remote…

In October of 2023, the US Climate Vulnerability Index was released. In that report, Kentucky was listed as one of the most at-risk states in the nation for environmental disasters. Eastern Kentucky is particularly vulnerable due to its geography, and…
