MIT researchers 3D print formwork molds using mud - replacing the more costly wood formworks for concrete construction.

Controlling indoor humidity is a significant challenge in construction and building maintenance. High humidity fosters mold, ...

EarthWorks by MIT uses treated mud for concrete formwork, promoting efficient, low-cost construction and significant reductions in carbon emissions.

This groundbreaking material could eventually offer enhanced resilience to natural disasters and reduce maintenance costs for public infrastructure.

Now, their bendable concrete material design is officially patented. Researchers in the Gerald May Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering are working to develop the materials ...

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 ...

The newly-formed concrete also could bear 36.8% more weight and flex 45.3% more before breaking, per the scientists. "Our newly developed 3D concrete printing system offers a carbon reducing ...

EarthWorks introduces a zero-waste method for 3D-printing earthen formworks, enhancing sustainability in reinforced concrete ...

However, the… Space is the final frontier of human exploration and additive manufacturing is playing a key role in that expansion. From producing rocket components to printing parts in zero gravity, ...

By using 3D printing technology, they’ve created a special kind of bendable concrete that is more resilient, requires less maintenance, and could even be used for building structures in space.
