Using a 3D printer that works with molten glass, researchers forged LEGO-like glass bricks with a strength comparable to concrete. The bricks could have a role in circular construction in which ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

For anyone casually strolling along the luxury boutiques on central Amsterdam’s high-end shopping street, the storefront at 32 P.C. Hooftstraat might not immediately stand out. Like its neighbors, the ...

It is a fact of life that 3D printed parts from an FDM (fused deposition modeling) printer have weaknesses where the layers join. Some of this is due to voids and imperfect layer bonding, but you can ...

3D printers are currently among the most impressive devices you can buy for at-home use, and they're the closest thing we have to replicators from Star Trek. These desktop mini-factories can make all ...

We've come across our fair share of 3D printers here at Tom's Hardware. We've even covered a handful of clever Lego-based projects. This is the first time, however, we've seen the two meld together so ...

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 reassembled ...
