Researchers at EPFL and Uppsala University have developed a novel technique that enables the fabrication of composite materials via volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM), overcoming long-standing limitations in the field. Published in ACS Materials Letters, the study demonstrates how post-printing hydrogel infusion can convert transparent VAM-printed parts into functional composites with high filler content. Overcoming transparency […]

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a 3D printable concrete incorporating diatomaceous earth (DE), a fossil-based material derived from ancient microscopic algae. This mixture aims to improve structural performance and increase carbon dioxide (CO₂) uptake, addressing environmental concerns associated with conventional concrete. From Algae to Architecture: A Smart Mix for CO₂ Capture Concrete […]
