A novel polymer developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory strengthens sand for additive manufacturing applications. A 6.5 centimeter 3D-printed sand bridge, shown here, held 300 times its own weight.

Concrete is a very popular building material, enough so that one of its key ingredients – sand – is in increasingly short supply. Scientists are thus now exploring the possibility of replacing that ...

Project will develop the science and engineering of 3D printed sand-casting molds The base year of the contract is worth $4.6 million; four one-year options, if all are exercised, would bring the ...

Researchers have developed the capability to use recycled glass in 3D printing, opening doors to a more environmentally sustainable way of building and construction. Researchers from Nanyang ...
