Guidelines on how to make this at home are also available online

PET bottles, old refrigerator insides and car dashboards are recycled into 3D printer ink

A New-Mexico-based company has developed receivers for small- to medium-scale use that are as much as 20% better at absorbing light than current technology

The dream-tires would be made from biodegradable materials and last as long as the vehicle

The first 3D printed estate in the United States is set to be complete by the end of 2017. The ambitious project is being undertaken by New York City architect Adam Kushner, alongside partners including 3D-printing pioneer Enrico Dini and his D-Shape firm. The estate will feature a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, carport and a 2,400 square foot house in upstate New York.

The United Arab Emirates announced that it will proceed with the creation of the first building to be used as office, the construction of which will be done by a 3D printer.

The first ever 3D-printed residential home was built on-site in just 24 hours in the town of Stupino, near Moscow in Russia last December. Having a cylindrical shape and consisting of a hallway, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen, this 38 m² (406 ft²) house had a total cost of $10,134, or $267 per m². Apis Cor., the Russian company that constructed it, claims that it can last up to 175 years and that a simpler house (ex. a square one) could cost only $223 per m² ($68 per ft²).

3D printing technology is about to bring a housebuilding revolution. Even  two-story building s can now be constructed this way, as the villa shown in the photos below demonstrates.

Last Tuesday, October 17^th, the Netherlands inaugurated the world’s first 3D-printed concrete bridge, which is primarily meant to be used by cyclists. The bridge, which crosses a canalized river in the southeastern town of Gemert, is made of 800 layers of reinforced, pre-stressed concrete with a steel cable running through it to handle tensile stress. Constructed in Eindhoven by the Technical University of Eindhoven and the Dutch construction company BAM, it is 8 meters long by 3.5 meters wide and it took around three months to put together, while its life cycle is estimated at 30 years at least. “The bridge is not very big, but it was rolled out by a printer, which makes it unique,” Theo Salet, from the Eindhoven University of Technology. The new bridge is part of the Noord-Om project, a new section of ring road around the village of Gemert linking the existing routes N605 and N272, and hundreds of cyclists are expected to ride over it every day.

Shanghai hosts the longest 3D-printed bridge made of concrete in the world.
