D-Shape is the brainchild of Pisan Enrico Dini, an engineer, inventor and CEO of the company that aims to offer and create technologies to construct less expensive and more “beautiful” buildings. Their most important project? 3D printing artificial reefs to…

Something interesting is brewing at the University of Michigan! A team of researchers and architects have been studying concrete 3D printing in order to develop a construction process that is more efficient than traditional solutions. They claim to have designed…

For many years, the amount of plastic waste in the world has been rapidly growing. This growing accumulation has a significant impact on global warming. In the construction and architecture sectors, many projects propose to use recycled plastic, as this…

ICON, the industry pioneer in large-scale 3D printing for construction, announced its new project, ‘Initiative 99’, during the 2023 annual SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, this March.  ICON, alongside nonprofit housing partners New Story and architecture firm Big-Bjarke Ingels Group,…

The Oxford English Dictionary defines architecture as “the art and study of designing buildings”: whether it is houses, offices, bridges or schools, this art is greatly impacted by new technologies. Architects are looking for innovative structures, both in terms of…

We are always discovering new and interesting 3D printing materials. Just recently, we told you about how researchers are using bacteria to essentially grow strong and porous 3D printed composite materials. And today we have yet another one: eggshells! This…

Art and design needs people who can push boundaries and have an eye for style and a nose for the latest up-and-coming technologies. More recently, everyone from fashion designers to artists have employed 3D printing to make unique pieces with…

Oregon State University and Sandia National Laboratory have received a three-year, $540,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to explore whether it would be possible to capture carbon dioxide from industrial emissions before trapping its mineralized form in 3D…

In honor of International Women’s Day, once again we wanted to put women in the spotlight! Today, more and more women are mastering 3D technologies, but above all they are using them in their daily activities, in all sectors. This…

In the world today, many countries have entered a sustainable phase of aging. This means that life expectancy is increasing year after year, and the elderly population continues to grow. In contrast, some regions are experiencing a population explosion. This…

For the past decades, the global population has been steadily increasing, which means that these people have to be accommodated somewhere. Consequently, with this increasing number, the amount of accommodation must also increase. Essential for its construction are cementitious products…

3D printing has a wow factor; it appeals as a unique selling point for the production of many kinds of pieces, both industrial and consumer, and for a range of applications from art and design to engineering. One example of…
