World’s tallest on-site 3D printed building completed in Saudi Arabia Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Europe had it first 3-story 3D printed building made in Germany by PERI using COBOD technology in 2021, and now Asia also has one. While North America may lead the development in terms of the amount of new 3D printed buildings, Europe and The Middle East are clearly leading the way in the use of 3D construction printing technology to create larger and larger buildings. With its 9.9 meters in total height, the Dar Al Arkan villa in Saudi Arabia is the tallest on-site 3D printed building in the world.

Optical glass fiber optimized using 3D printing Electronics

by Business

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Korea, Australia, Great Britain, and Germany – with the participation of the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) – were able to, for the first time, optimize an optical glass fiber in such a way that light of different wavelengths can be focused extremely precisely. This level of accuracy was achieved by 3D nanoprinting an optical lens, which was applied to the end of the fiber. This opens up new possibilities for applications in microscopy and endoscopy as well as in laser therapy and sensor technology.

Borneo gets first 3D printed house Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Borneo, known for its orangutans and other wildlife, is one of the most biodiverse places on earth, with more than an estimated 15,000 plant species found in its rainforests. Unexpectedly, this large Asian island now has its first 3D printed house – a testament to the technology’s potential and reach. In Sarawak, the Northern coastal part of Borneo, which is more urbanized than the rainforest-covered center, the large concrete pre-casting company Sarawak Consolidated Industries Berhad (SCIB) recently revealed the company’s first 3D printed demo house.

Anisoprint deploys R&D team at Jacobs University Bremen Research & Education

by Business

In September 2022, 3D printing solution provider, Anisoprint, deployed their Research and Development Team at Jacobs University Bremen. The main focus of the partnership was to foster the research and development of composites manufacturing with Continuous Fiber Coextrusion (CFC) technology, and establish a research environment for 3D printing technologies on the university campus in Bremen, Germany.
