News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Luyten, an Australian construction 3D printing firm, is breaking ground on a new project in its home city of Melbourne. When complete, the 350-square-meter build will be Australia’s first multi-storey 3D printed home and will be lived in by none other than Luyten’s CEO and Global President Ahmed Mahil in an effort to demonstrate the viability of 3D printed homes.
Omantel, the first telecommunications company in Oman, has partnered with Innotech, an Omani 3D printing startup, to boost fish populations by 3D printing artificial reefs using concrete. The use of 3D printing technology offers several benefits with great importance in marine ecosystems. The companies will print eight 3D concrete units – which will act as a substrate for marine organisms to settle and grow – within Muscat.
In an attempt to address environmental challenges facing our oceans, Eke Panuku, a leading New Zealand-based sustainable development organization, has partnered with QOROX, a pioneering 3D concrete printing company, to create artificial barnacles aimed at improving marine biodiversity. The project leverages the unique capabilities of 3D printing to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of marine habitat structures.
AKF, the large Danish real estate developer, in partnership with Danish 3DCP Group, and Saga Space Architects, has 3D printed a low CO2 concrete community building in the greater Copenhagen area measuring 72m² (775 SF). The building was created using a COBOD BOD2 printer and will house a gym, guest room, and common laundry facility for residents.
Miami-based climate-tech startup, Kind Designs, is leveraging 3D concrete printing technology from CyBe as a faster, cheaper, and more sustainable construction method to produce ‘Living Seawalls’. These underwater structures protect our shores, improve the ocean’s biodiversity, and monitor water quality.
RCAM Technologies, an industry-leading provider of 3D printed concrete solutions dedicated to offshore renewable energy, has signed a deal to purchase a state-of-the-art gantry robot system – the CyBe GR – from CyBe Construction, a front-runner in the field of 3D concrete printing technologies. By harnessing the groundbreaking capabilities of the CyBe GR, RCAM is set to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy by reducing costs and environmental impacts associated with manufacturing its infrastructure.
