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.
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.
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,
MIT engineers develop 3D-printed glass bricks for sustainable construction
The 3D-printed glass bricks, each shaped like a figure eight, are designed to interlock similar to LEGO bricks. In mechanical tests, these innovative glass bricks demonstrated strength comparable to that of traditional concrete blocks.
Engineers 3D Print Sturdy Glass Bricks
What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembl
