News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a 3D concrete printing method that captures carbon, demonstrating a new pathway to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry.
The BioMatters team at the University of Michigan has developed a fully biodegradable, reusable, and recyclable material – upcycled sawdust – to replace the wasteful concrete formwork traditionally used across the construction industry. Millions of tons of sawdust waste are reportedly created each year from the 15 billion cut trees. This waste is often burned or dumped in landfills, left to contribute to environmental pollution.
