LAMÁQUINA’s 3D printed ceramic tiles complete Sagrada Família’s tallest tower Construction 3D Printing
On February 20, 2026, the final arm of the cross was lifted onto the Tower of Jesus Christ at the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, marking the completion of the cathedral’s exterior and the culmination of 144 years of construction. The cross now crowns the structure at 172.5 meters, making it the world’s tallest church. The robotic 3D printed ceramic tiles that form the tower’s white glazed ceramic skin were developed by LAMÁQUINA in collaboration with Ceramica Cumella.
Sunnyday Technologies releases M3-CRETE open-source 3D concrete printer 3D Printer Hardware
Sunnyday Technologies is releasing M3-CRETE, a fully open-source concrete 3D printer built for field deployment and research validation. The project sits alongside CEMFORGE, Sunnyday Technologies’ AI-driven concrete formulation platform, which the firm positions as a mix-design engine for additive construction. Sunnyday Technologies publishes documentation, CAD files, and a draft bill of materials (BOM) to a public GitHub repository for customization and comment.
3D printed pool makes a big splash in Australia Construction 3D Printing
While an outdoor swim might seem like a far-off dream to those of us trying to warm up in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s an essential cool-down tactic for Aussies at this time of year, with summertime temperatures in Western Australia soaring above 30°C. Most in the region will be doing their laps in standard in-ground pools, but soon a small number of locals will be able to say they’re swimming in the country’s first 3D printed pool.
Two-story 3D printed home passes Japan’s stringent seismic standards Construction 3D Printing
As a country that experiences upwards of 500,000 earthquakes every year, Japan is correct to have highly stringent building requirements. These requirements—the New Anti-seismic Structure Standard from 1981 in particular— ensure that only buildings with earthquake-resistant structures are erected. In a milestone for the emerging construction 3D printing sector, the first two-story 3D printed home has been approved by Japan’s government based on these standards, demonstrating that reinforced 3D printed concrete is a valid construction material for earthquake-resistant homes.
Sustainable, load-bearing printable concrete being developed in Singapore Construction 3D Printing
A team working on a sustainable, structurally-reinforced 3D printable concrete at the National University of Singapore has demonstrated viability for load-bearing components, in the country’s first on-site structural deployment.
Russia prepares proposal for experimental 3D printing in construction Construction 3D Printing
Russia’s State Duma Committee on Economic Policy has prepared a proposal to establish an experimental legal regime for 3D printing in construction, Russian newspaper Vedomosti has reported.
WASP completes Italy’s first certified 3D printed house using four robotic arms Construction 3D Printing
Italian construction robotics company WASP has finished building Itaca, the country’s first certified 3D printed residential structure, using a four-arm robotic system at its Shamballa laboratory in Northern Italy.
