3D-Printed Glass Bricks Can Be Used And Reused Like Giant LEGO For Real-Life Buildings
In the latest move towards more sustainable construction, engineers at MIT have come up with an ingenious way of producing 3D-printed, reusable bricks – but the material they’ve chosen might just surprise you.
Trash to tower: MIT engineers 3D-print LEGO-like glass bricks as tough as concrete
Inspired by the sustainable possibilities of circular construction, MIT engineers are creating a new type of reconfigurable masonry using 3D-printed, recycled glass. Leveraging a custom 3D glass printing technology from MIT spinoff Evenline,
Engineers 3D print strong, multilayered glass bricks for building structures
The potential for 3D-printable glass masonry is immense. It could be reused multiple times, serving as recyclable bricks for building facades and internal walls. This breakthrough has the power to transform the construction industry and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
Reusable bricks made from 3D-printed glass could cut construction emissions
Engineers at MIT have developed interlocking bricks made from recycled glass that could be re-used at the end of a building's lifecycle.
Engineers 3D Print Durable Glass Bricks for Structures
What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at
MIT develops recyclable 3D printed glass blocks for construction
The team points to glass’ optical properties and its “infinite recyclability” as reasons for turning to the material. © 2024 TechCrunch. All rights reserved. For personal use only.
'Brain-breaking' glass bricks are 3D printed, reusable, and strong
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 materials are used over and over again.
