Swinburne researchers develop 3D printing system using earth to tackle housing crisis

Researchers from Swinburne University of Technology are developing a 3D printing technology that uses earth, plant fibres and other natural materials to help address Australia’s housing shortage. Led by Dr Mohamed Gomaa from Swinburne’s School of Engineering, the team is creating a 3D printing system capable of producing high-density fibrous-earth structures with precision. The research aims to build stronger, more durable and sustainable homes …
