D printers are affordable enough that almost anyone can buy one, but should you? Before you dive in, here's what to ...

A Southern California company is 3D-printing affordable housing using waste plastic as one of the ingredients.

The 3D-printed homes use recycled materials like plastic water bottles and food containers instead of lumber and concrete.

In this application of the month, we explore the University of Waterloo's biopolymer nanocomposite material for 3D printing ...

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.

Better still – Glass is extremely tough and a good all-round construction material. It can take high temperatures and won’t ...

The team points to glass’ optical properties and its “infinite recyclability” as reasons for turning to the material.

Using a 3D printer that works with molten glass, researchers forged LEGO-like glass bricks with a strength comparable to concrete. The bricks could have a role in circular construction in which ...

LLNL developed a 3D printing method based on microwave energy capable of curing resin faster than previous methods.

The potential for 3D-printable glass masonry is immense. It could be reused multiple times, serving as recyclable bricks for ...

These bricks are designed to interlock seamlessly, similar to LEGO pieces, making them versatile and easy to assemble.

“Glass as a structural material kind of breaks people’s brains a little bit,” said researcher Michael Stern in a statement.
