Apis Cor 3D printer assembles in 30 minutes, prints a building in 1 day
Though 3D printing is a technology that seems destined to greatly impact the construction industry, up until recently that impact still felt far off. But this year alone we’ve seen bridges, homes and hotel rooms built using 3D printing methods that decrease project times significantly. Now, according to 3Dprint.com, Russian engineer Nikita Chen-yun-tai has created […]

World’s first 3D-printed hotel suite is complete with a 3D-printed jacuzzi (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Though 3D printing has grown in popularity in recent years, it has yet to mature into a reliable construction method for everyday structures that is cost effective and easy to duplicate. But that isn’t stopping the owner of a hotel—and soon to be home developer—in the Philippines from going all-in on the technology. In a […]

World’s first 3D-printed steel bridge to be erected by robotics firm, contractor (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
It seems like something out of science fiction: Robotic arms stretched over a canal creating a bridge seemingly out of nothing at all. In actuality, the robots are advanced 3D printing tools that a company in the Netherlands is planning to use to print a bridge. The first 3D printed bridge in the world. MX3D, a 3D-printing robotics […]

Ford’s new 3D printer can make car parts from sheet metal in just a few hours
By this point, everyone’s pretty familiar with 3D printing technology. It can be really useful for prototyping and designing new things, but also for restoring older things such as an automobile that needs a part that is no longer being made. Ford wanted to take advantage of that type of technology in its prototyping process […]

GEAR: 3Doodler 3D printing pen
There’s no question whether the advent of 3D printing will have an affect on the architecture and construction industries. Not only can you use the technology to create models of a structure, you can then print out pieces of the structure and assemble them. But what if you could print a 3D structure as you […]
