Revolutionary community center will be 3D printed using earth

An upcoming community center in Tanzania will be defined by its cutting-edge 3D-printed design. However, rather than being built from layered concrete as you’d usually expect with 3D-printed projects, its walls will be created using locally sourced soi… Continue reading Revolutionary community center will be 3D printed using earth

Liquid (Reversibly) Solidifies at Room Temperature, Gets Used for 3D Prints

Researchers demonstrate sustainable 3D printing by using poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) solutions (PNIPAM), which speedily and reliably turn solid by undergoing a rapid phase change when in a salt solution. This property has …read more Continue reading Liquid (Reversibly) Solidifies at Room Temperature, Gets Used for 3D Prints

Reusable ‘waffle stacks’ pull toxic ‘forever chemicals’ from water

Scientists in the UK have developed a new method for removing toxic “forever chemicals” from wastewater. Specially treated, 3D-printed ceramic lattices can remove up to 75% of the chemicals from polluted water in three hours – and the structures get be… Continue reading Reusable ‘waffle stacks’ pull toxic ‘forever chemicals’ from water
