Aectual’s latest project is a 3D printed façade for BOSS Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

In recent years, the use of large format polymer 3D printing technology in architecture has rapidly evolved, pushing the boundaries of design and sustainability. Dutch company Aectual perfectly embodies this transition and it’s latest project, the recently renovated BOSS store at İstinye Park in Istanbul, is a striking example of this trend, featuring an innovative 3D printed facade that not only serves as a bold aesthetic statement but also underscores a commitment to sustainable design.

Mighty Buildings to use Honeywell technology to 3D print homes Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Mighty Buildings, a 3D printing construction technology provider, is set to use Honeywell Solstice Liquid Blowing Agent (LBA) as a key component in the material it uses to build 3D printed homes. Honeywell’s low-global warming potential (GWP) technology will replace traditional foam insulation – helping Mighty Buildings reduce emissions and produce strong, energy-efficient building panels. Honeywell offers aerospace, building automation, performance materials and technologies, and safety and productivity solutions, and this collaboration is the alignment of its portfolio to three powerful megatrends, including the energy transition.

Australia turns to 3D printing for social housing Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Construction 3D printing has long been heralded as a solution for building affordable housing and as the technology has advanced over the years, we are now starting to see that become a reality. The latest news on this front is coming out of Australia, where the government of New South Wales has announced its intention to use 3D printing to address a shortage in housing and build the first 3D printed social housing property in the Australian state.

First 3D Printed Ceramic Jaw Implant Successfully Placed in Patient

by Medical

A step forward in medical technology was achieved with the successful implantation of the first 3D printed ceramic subperiosteal jaw implant at Kepler University Hospital. The procedure is part of the INKplant project, an EU-funded initiative involving 19 interdisciplinary partners. Developed by Austrian ceramic 3D printing specialist Lithoz and led by Profactor GmbH, the 3D printed dental implant targets patients suffering from severe jaw atrophy—a condition where the loss of teeth leads to significant bone deterioration, making traditional dentures or implants untenable.
