3D-Printed Concrete Could Help Buildings Absorb Carbon Instead of Releasing It

This 3D-printed bridge absorbs 142% more CO2 than conventional concrete. It's inspired by human bones

Regular concrete accounts for about 8% of global carbon emissions.

3D-printed concrete could help buildings absorb carbon instead of releasing it

Led by Professor Masoud Akbarzadeh, the Penn group has developed Diamanti, a 3D-printed structural system that uses both geometry and material science to turn concrete into a potential carbon sink. With robotics, nature-inspired forms, and a reformulated cement mix designed by materials scientist Shu Yang, the project demonstrates how design...Read Entire Article
