For centuries, wood has been shaped through subtractive manufacturing—cutting, carving, and milling—processes that inevitably generate waste. While recycled wood often ends up as fuel, mulch, or ...

A research team at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science has developed what it believes could be the template for the first building blocks for human-compatible organs ...

LEGO are perhaps the perfect children’s toy, at least until you step on the errant brick while walking around the house. Available in all kinds of sets with varying themes and characters, they ...

Scientists are bioprinting 3D structures with a material that is a close match for human tissue, paving the way for true biomanufacturing. A research team at the University of Virginia School of ...

How it works is, the bridge's building blocks were created using a 3D printer, which extruded a cement-based mixture in layers to built up the blocks' structure, following an exact computer-made plan.

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

AtomForm was founded in 2025 by a small group of hardware veterans and 3D printing enthusiasts who wanted to close the gap between what people imagine and what they can build in the real world. That ...

University of Utah researchers have developed a 3D printing method that creates solid microstructures ...

Montana is the first U.S. state to give broad regulatory approval for 3D printing in building construction. State regulators have approved 3D printed walls as an equal replacement for walls made with ...
