Happy to finally share this video with you, documenting how I went about building our staircase for our family home. How I managed to save time and money using #3Dprinting on our #Ultimaker. https://lnkd.in/gXDfZ2e7

I believe future of construction is 3D printing.

3D-printed reinforcement-free bridge moves closer to widespread use

Can 3D-printed homes solve the affordable housing crisis? Composed primarily of concrete, 3-printed homes cost 10%-30% less than traditional stick homes, can be built in 24 hours to three weeks, and protect against fire, flood, and termites. 60 Minutes reports the inspiring story of Jason Ballard, who is revolutionizing the construction industry with his company ICON, from printing homes for the unhoused to buildings on the moon. https://lnkd.in/gZntN_92

3D printed Concrete magic! Exciting developments in marine conservation are making waves as 3D printing pioneers a new era of artificial reef construction. Managed by the Okaloosa Coastal Resource Team, the recent deployment of 25 3D printed concrete modules to the Gulf floor is reshaping marine ecosystems at depths of 60 to 90 feet. Funded by a $1.26 million grant from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, this initiative, part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Artificial Reef Creation and Restoration Project, is a beacon of ecological restoration post-BP oil spill. Alex Fogg, Coastal Resource Manager, underscores the project's significance, emphasizing the dual benefits of recreation for divers and fishers alongside habitat restoration. The collaboration with contractors, including reefmaker Walter Marine and 3D printing innovator 1Print, showcases a fusion of technology for sustainable environmental impact.

Incredible Innovation: Guatemala's First 3D-Printed Earthquake-Resistant House! Cement company Progreso has achieved a remarkable feat by constructing Guatemala's first 3D-printed house, designed to withstand seismic activity. The project, completed using COBOD's BOD2 printer, blended modern 3D-printing techniques with traditional craftsmanship, featuring a palm thatched roof. What's astounding is that the 3D printing process took just 26 hours, albeit spread over seven days. Human builders added finishing touches, including windows, wiring, and plumbing. The house's structural design prioritizes earthquake resistance, a crucial feature in this seismic-prone region. This groundbreaking project showcases the potential of 3D construction printing, creating organic-shaped walls and offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional building materials. The 3D-printed concrete walls are complemented by a traditional palm leaves roof, offering thermal comfort and earthquake resilience 🏡🌟 #3DPrinting #ConstructionInnovation #EarthquakeResistant #SustainableHousing #3DPrintedHome #EarthquakeResistant #ConstructionInnovation #SustainableLiving #GuatemalaInnovation #COBODPrinter #BuildingTheFuture
