These panels, which emulate the geodesic geometry Fuller pioneered, will be 3D printed offsite and assembled on location, next to the Dome. This innovative approach highlights the unique capabilities of Mighty Buildings\u2019 Mighty Kit System \u2013 an easy-to-configure platform that features rigorously tested and internationally certified building materials that are designed to be sustainable and climate resilient, and offer significant improvements over prior 3D printed technologies. These innovations can significantly reduce onsite construction timelines and enable building sites with near-zero waste.<\/p>\n<p>Additional essential services that are critical to the success of this project have been donated by W. Gray Hodge, P.E., S.E., of Hodge Structural Engineers, and Civil Engineer Sean Henry, P.E., of Klingner &amp; Associates, P.C.
