Ukraine develops 3D printing concrete from war debris Construction 3D Printing

Researchers at the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture (KNUCA), in collaboration with international partners, have launched a groundbreaking initiative to develop sustainable construction materials from the rubble of war-torn buildings. The project, titled ‘Development of New Approaches and Construction Materials for the Restoration of Ukraine’s Damaged Infrastructure with Consideration for Environmental Sustainability’, aims to create advanced concrete mixtures for both 3D printing and traditional construction techniques.

Deltasys E-Forming launches tabletop concrete 3D printer for R&D 3D Printer Hardware

When we talk about concrete 3D printing generally, the larger the build volume the better. It makes sense: the technology is typically used for large-scale applications, like printing walls or architectural features, such as the recent 5,000-square foot expansion of a Walmart supercenter. But there are also areas where size is less important and where cost and accessibility are far higher priorities. Such is the case in many R&D labs, particularly when it comes to material development. To meet these needs, Indian 3D printing company Deltasys E-Forming has launched a new tabletop concrete 3D printer.

Second 3D printed Walmart expansion to open in Alabama Construction 3D Printing

Less than a year ago, mega retailer Walmart revealed it had commissioned one of the largest free-standing 3D printed commercial buildings in the United States. This build, completed in Tennessee, consisted of an 8,000-square-foot expansion to an existing site, which now functions as a online pickup center. Today, evidently satisfied with its first major foray into construction 3D printing, Walmart is preparing to open a second 3D printed expansion, this time in Huntsville, Alabama.
