New CMU 3D-Printing Simulator Constructs Stronger, More Efficient Concrete Buildings
When natural disaster strikes, a building’s survival often depends on how it’s built. Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a fast, highly accurate simulator for spray-based concrete 3D printing that could enable stronger, more complex and less wasteful construction by predicting how concrete behaves and solidifies, even around rebar.
