Video: Giant robotic arm 3D-prints a two-story house

A new 3D construction printer from Icon can whip out two-story concrete buildings faster and cheaper than its previous Vulcan printer. It has already been used to build a 27-ft-high structure called Phoenix House, now on display in Austin, Texas.Contin… Continue reading Video: Giant robotic arm 3D-prints a two-story house

Video: Europe’s biggest 3D-printed building rises in just 140 hours

Tasked with building a new data center in an urban area of Germany, the team behind the Wave House harnessed the benefits of 3D printing technology to inject a sense of style into the unglamorous world of cloud-computing infrastructure, creating Europe… Continue reading Video: Europe’s biggest 3D-printed building rises in just 140 hours

3D-printed titanium lattice is 50% stronger than WE54 aerospace alloy

A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally found in these complex shapes.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading 3D-printed titanium lattice is 50% stronger than WE54 aerospace alloy

World’s tallest 3D-printed building will take 900 hours to layer up

The White Tower will reach a height of 30 m (almost 100 ft)

What’s being hailed as the world’s tallest 3D-printed building is being readied for assembly in a remote Swiss village. The White Tower from researchers at ETH Zurich will be formed from over a hundred columns, with a performance space sat on top.

Metal 3D Printing Gets Really Fast (and Really Ugly)

The secret to cranking out a furniture-sized metal frame in minutes is Liquid Metal Printing (LMP), demonstrated by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They’ve demonstrated printing aluminum frames …read more Continue reading Metal 3D Printing Gets Really Fast (and Really Ugly)

Wilson Airless basketball bounces to market for four-figure price

The most compelling show of contemporary basketball skill at last year’s NBA All-Star Game didn’t necessarily come from one of the players dribbling a ball … it came from a ball itself. That ball was Wilson’s Airless basketball prototype, a futuristi… Continue reading Wilson Airless basketball bounces to market for four-figure price
