Simulator boosts strength and design in spray 3D concrete printing
Engineers in Carnegie Mellon University’s Computational Engineering and Robotics Laboratory (CERLAB) have developed a simulation tool that predicts how sprayed concrete behaves and solidifies, even around rebar. The breakthrough could transform how buildings are constructed, cutting material waste and enabling stronger, more complex structures for tomorrow’s cities. Concrete 3D printing reduces both time and cost…
