How Underwater 3D Printing can Redefine Maritime Infrastructure | The Middle East Observer
Underwater 3D-printed concrete is moving rapidly from experimental research into a technology with clear relevance for the Middle East’s ports, offshore energy assets, and subsea infrastructure. Developed by an interdisciplinary team at Cornell University and supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the approach enables concrete structures to be fabricated directly underwater using […]
In recent decades, additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing, has completed the transition from industrial workshops to space and private households. Cornell University's new research project, in cooperation with the US research authority DARPA, is now seeking to open up another boundary: the sea floor. The project, known as Trenton, aims to print concrete structures directly under water in order to build maritime infrastructure such a…
How underwater 3D printing could soon transform maritime construction
There are all kinds of critical infrastructure lying beneath the surface of our oceans – road and rail tunnels connecting land masses, pipelines for oil and gas, power cables connecting islands and countries, underwater research stations, and submerged dams and hydroelectric installations.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D Printing, Manufacturing, TechnologyTags: 3D Printing, Construction, Building and Construction, Underwater, Cornell University, DAR…
A group of researchers has developed a 3D printing approach that would allow the underwater concrete to be printed for marine infrastructure. This approach is designed to overcome most of the stresses in the underwater environment such as continuous exposure to water. The team's ultimate goal will also be to use mainly marine sediments as a printing material, thus potentially solving logistical problems related to the transport of materials from…
Underwater 3D printing research at Cornell targets maritime infrastructure
An interdisciplinary team of researchers at Cornell University is developing a method to 3D-print concrete underwater, an approach that could change how maritime infrastructure is constructed and repaired, according to a university media release.
