This is part of the company\u2019s initiative to incorporate 3D printing in their production process. One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/general-motors-3d-printing090520184\/\">General Motor<\/a>\u2019s divisions, Cadillac, has already unveiled two models of the v-series Blackwing which integrate functional 3D printed parts, the CT4 and the CT5. These parts include a manual transmission, two HVAC ducts and an electrical harness bracket. Both models will be available to preorder on February 1. Despite having been GM&#8217;s flagship brand in their endeavour to move away from manual transmissions, Cadillac is now leading GM&#8217;s revival of stick shift with the help of additive manufacturing.

The project is based on a new circular model of housing, entirely created with reusable and recyclable materials. The TECLA project was started in 2019 as a result of a collaboration between the Italian 3D printing company, WASP, and Mario Cucinella Architects. The pair hope to provide an eco-friendly solution to growing need for housing deriving from the increasing global population. With the completion of their printing stage, TECLA represents a new stage of more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/twente-additive-manufacturing-040120216\/\">sustainable construction<\/a>.

Nonetheless, a team of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/rmit-strengthening-concrete-210120215\/\">researchers at RMIT<\/a> have discovered a fairly important correlation. In the course of their evolution, the shells of lobsters, and other crustaceans, developed patterned internal structures, serving to make them harder and more resilient. RMIT researchers found that applying these patterns to concrete 3D printing could support more complex architectural structures and increase the strength of the 3D printed concrete. This led to the development of a new method of concrete 3D printing inspired by the patterns found in lobster shells, that would result in strengthened final structures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mpPAPlst42o\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What did you think of this week\u2019s top 5 videos?
