Sustainable materials are increasingly in the spotlight as both companies and research teams try to find more eco-friendly alternatives for different industries. One of the sectors that places most emphasis on this quest for sustainability is the construction industry. This…

As we all know, additive manufacturing is being implemented in a growing number of sectors. One example is construction, where 3D printed housing is booming. In fact, soon we may see the first 3D printed house in Portugal. Not only…

Engineering students at the public research university Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in the Australian state of Victoria have developed an approach to produce a conductive and more stable concrete for 3D printing buildings. As part of their study,…

Additive manufacturing is transforming and revolutionizing construction methods, opening up new possibilities in terms of efficiency, customization and sustainability in a constantly evolving industry. Holcim, a company specializing in concrete 3D printing, has recently completed the construction of the “Phoenix”…

The 3D printing construction sector continues to make waves around the world, with recent projects cropping up in the news from Denmark, Japan, and the Caribbean, among others. This time, news of 3D printed concrete constructions comes to us from…

The use of 3D printing in the construction sector should no longer come as a surprise. What was once a niche topic has gradually increased worldwide with 3D printed buildings popping up in New Zealand, Qatar, China, the USA, the…

How far has concrete 3D printing progressed? Over the recent months, we have told you about a number of different projects using this technology to create housing. Now it has arrived in another Central American country. The first 3D printed…

If you plan to travel to Singapore, you can not miss this work of architecture. Located at Singapore’s international airport, in Changi, well-known luxury brand Tiffany & Co. has integrated a one-of-a-kind façade that is as iconic as the brand…

The incessant inflation of housing prices is a matter of concern for millions of people. It is becoming increasingly expensive both to buy a house and to live in it, so that young and not so young people continue to…

As 3D printing continues to evolve, so too have the efforts to use the technology to build in an environmentally friendly way. Concepts like upcycling, using natural materials and even using wood as a 3D printable material have already been…

As much as additive manufacturing has benefitted the general public, the defense sector has also made great gains with 3D printing. So much so that additive manufacturing in the military is expected to be worth $1.7 billion in just a…

In recent years, 3D printed structures and housing construction projects have been growing around the world both in scale and scope. Depending on the materials used, 3D printed buildings offer multiple advantages over conventional construction, including fire resistance, local or…
