3D Printed Aluminum Device Makes Low-Cost Carbon Capture Possible
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) engineers have 3D printed a unique aluminum device to enhance CO2 capture from fossil fuel plants and other industrial processes. . According to the scientists, the first-of-its-kind, low-cost aluminum device focuses on a key...
3D Printing Greener Buildings Using Sustainable Building Material Made From Local Soil
The construction industry is currently facing two major challenges: the demand for sustainable infrastructure and the need to repair deteriorating buildings, bridges, and roads. While concrete is the material of choice for many construction projects, it has a large...
3D-printed coral better than the natural equivalent
Corals serve as a host to algae, providing them with a protected environment for photosynthesis, while algae in turn lend them bright colours and produce sugars the corals consume. . EU-funded scientists have 3D-printed coral structures that replicate this symbiosis...
Kisawa Sanctuary in Mozambique will be the world’s first 3D-printed resort
Opening this September, Kisawa Sanctuary on Benguerra Island in Mozambique will be the world’s first 3D-printed, ultra-luxury eco resort. . Olivia Palamountain reports Kisawa Sanctuary in Mozambique is redefining responsible travel quite literally from the ground up....
These 3D printed tiles are helping restore devastated coral reefs
Terracotta ceramics have been used for thousands of years, but a particularly 21st-century application gives the material an entirely new purpose. Marine scientists and architects from the Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) of the University of Hong Kong (HKU)...
This experimental design studio used beetle-infested trees to 3D print a cabin
HANNAH , an experimental design studio, turned waste wood into a 3D printed house called Ashen Cabin. The aim of the project is to highlight how new manufacturing practices can play a role in upcycling waste. . Tucked away in a forest in Ithaca, N.Y., HANNAH turned...
3D Printing Will Send Solar Power Surging
The 2020s will be the most innovative decade in history. Technology is changing the face of every industry — rewarding companies that embrace it and destroying companies that are unable to adapt. And behind the scenes, there’s one industry that will drive the...
This robotically-built cabin offers a peek into the high-tech future of housing
As houses of the future go, Ashen Cabin doesn’t look particularly futuristic. Anyone expecting a The Jetsons -esque vision of robot assistants, indoor conveyor belts, and flying vehicle garages is going to be sorely disappointed; this rustic log cabin, boasting...
3D Printed Corals Could Be the Future of Bioenergy
With global warming causing sea temperatures to rise, the coral reefs are dying around the world. . The delicate reefs are particularly susceptible to even small changes in average temperature and salinity, and as they die, this could also spell disaster for the many...
