3D Printing Researchers Develop Fast-Curing, Environmentally Friendly Concrete Substitute

3D printing researchers develop fast-curing, environmentally friendly concrete substitute

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a quick-setting, environmentally friendly alternative to concrete they hope can one day be used to rapidly 3D print homes and infrastructure.

New 3D-printable material could replace traditional concrete

As the world’s population continues to grow, the demand for new homes and infrastructure is rising rapidly. At the same time, concerns about climate change and carbon emissions are pushing scientists to find cleaner, more sustainable building materials. Now, researchers at Oregon State University have developed a fast-curing, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional concrete that […] The post New 3D-printable material could replace tr…

3D-printable concrete alternative hardens in three days, not four weeks

Although we've heard a lot about how 3D-printing concrete homes speeds up the construction process, you still have to wait up to 28 days for the concrete to sufficiently cure. A new printable substitute, however, is ready to go in just three days.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Oregon State University, Concrete, Construction, 3D Printing, Sustainable

3D printing researchers develop fast-curing, environmentally-friendly concrete substitute

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a quick-setting, environmentally friendly alternative to concrete they hope can one day be used to rapidly 3D print homes and infrastructure. Also known as additive manufacturing, 3D printing is already being used to help solve construction challenges such as the global housing crisis that’s emerged as Earth’s population […] The post 3D printing researchers develop fast-curing, environmentall…
