The belief that 3D concrete printing lacks adequate interlayer bond strength has been largely debunked. Early methods produced weaker interfaces than those of traditional cast concrete, resulting in anisotropic 3D printed structures. This is due to cold joints and porosity caused by gaps between layers, voids that reduce shear and tensile strength
Digital fabrication and additive manufacturing are transforming the global construction industry. 3D concrete printing (3DCP) provides design flexibility and the ability to create complex structures, moving away from traditional methods. It enhances resource efficiency and reduces material waste by eliminating formwork and lowering labour needs. However,
NASA on Tuesday is set to launch a daring robotic rescue mission, a long shot bid to prevent one of its aging telescopes from vanishing into dust. If successful, the effort could pave the way for giving other satellites a second life. The operation is set to last several months, kicking off with the launch of a robot designed to rescue the Swift space
