[Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to create some molds using 3D printing for concrete and plaster. He used a delta printer with flexible filament and documented his process in the video below. If you’ve ...
A different conversation about the capabilities of 3D-printing is happening at edg, a New York architecture and engineering firm which focuses on technology-driven design and the restoration of ...
Precast concrete is used in building construction and produced by pouring the material into a reusable mold. For decades, these molds have been made from wood — a technique that requires a highly ...
Having access to tools can greatly expand an engineer’s ability to build. As technology advances, it tends to become more accessible as it drops in price or increases user-friendliness. Once 3D ...
Early experiments with graphene predicted that it could increase the strength of concrete by up to 40%. 3D concrete printing definitely makes the list of developing technologies that are changing the ...
“It makes drawings in the air, following [real] drawings [which] it scans with photo-cells… Plastic comes out of the end of the drawing arm and hardens as it comes.” So wrote Murray Leinster, an ...
