In science and engineering, it's unusual for innovation to come in one fell swoop. It's more often a painstaking plod through ...

The University of Michigan researchers have developed a method for creating ultra-lightweight, waste-free concrete using 3D printing technology called the "Shell Wall." Researchers at the University ...

Inside a warehouse in Oakland, California, a 20-foot-high printer recently 3D-printed the shell of a tiny house—not only the walls and floor, but the ceiling and roof, and overhangs. The home took a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — What if the inherent weaknesses of a material actually made houses and buildings stronger during wildfires and earthquakes? Purdue University researchers have 3D-printed cement ...

Recently, construction company ICON announced that it is close to completing the world’s largest 3D-printed neighborhood in Georgetown, Texas. This isn’t the only 3D-printed housing project. Hundreds ...

I admit: if I see a beehive, I back away—fresh honey be damned. But part of me is also fascinated. Beehives are a remarkable feat of engineering. Made of materials from tree buds to chewed-up wax, ...

A car enthusiast has embarked on an ambitious project to 3D-print a full-size replica of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, using nothing more than consumer-grade equipment and digital ingenuity. The project, ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

Scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology have helped develop the 3D-printed ...
