Mighty Buildings Modular Prefab Houses Incorporate 3D Printed Synthetic Stone
There is a brand new company with 30 million in funding from silicon valley investors on the scene of Automated Construction that just came out of stealth mode in August 2020 and they’ve already delivered their first 2 units to customers. Anyone who has done construction in California is familiar with the shortage of skilled […]
Introduction to Material Science and Rheology of Extrudable Concrete for 3D Printing in Construction
3D printed construction might be the most promising way to automate construction so recently many people have been pursuing the perfect mix for printing. Rheology is the study of how materials flow so that is the science being applied to concrete made for printing. My name is Jarett Gross and I’ve gathered this information mostly […]
Reflection on a conversation with Matthew Carli, Director of Innovation at Laticrete
After speaking with some startups about their progress in 3D printed concrete, I thought it would be great to speak with a bigger company with decades of experience in materials engineering about their perspective on future construction tech and I was not disappointed. Matthew Carli and I spoke for 2 hours on the subject and […]
Different Materials for Large Scale 3D Printing and 3D Printed Construction
Concrete is not the only material that people have been considering 3-D printing construction with. A company that goes by the name MX3D has developed a printer that is capable in printing large metal structures from a single robotic arm operating on polar coordinates. This company is based in Europe and has already demonstrated the […]
