Are 3D printed, flat-pack hotels the future of green tourism?
Aa Aa Eco-friendly hotel chain Habitas has come up with a concept to build 3D printed, flat-pack hotels. . The group has just announced a global expansion, but critics say it might not be as sustainable as it appears on the surface. From 2020, Habitas will build...
NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge winners to discuss technology and 3D-printing in public panel
NASA issued a challenge to the public: design a 3D-printed, sustainable shelter that can protect people and weather the potential challenges of space. . The shelters also had to be autonomous, meaning they had to be built with absolutely zero human intervention. On...
2020 IFS Predictions for Engineering, Construction, Infrastructure
In 2020, we will see a continuation of last year’s move towards radically more efficient construction operations. Some of this will be due to digitalization of business processes, but real gains will have to do with technology used to change the business processes...
A New Approach to Modelling Lattices and Other Complex Geometry
Designers are increasingly being expected to produce extremely complex geometry. This is largely driven by the ability of additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing to produce virtually any level of detail. . Lattices and organic shapes are now common in the latest...
MARSHA: 3D-Printed Habitat for Mars Wins NASA Challenge
If humans really do colonize Mars, what will their houses look like? The entries to NASA’s long-running 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge give us plenty of ideas to work with, including the ultimate winner, MARSHA by AI SpaceFactory. . The MARSHA habitat considers things...
