Engineers 3D print sturdy glass bricks for building structures
WEB4 days ago · Using a custom 3D glass printing technology provided by MIT spinoff Evenline, the team has made strong, multilayered glass bricks, each in the shape of a figure eight, that are designed to interlock, much like LEGO bricks. In mechanical testing, a single glass brick withstood pressures similar to that of a concrete block. As a structural ...
Engineers Develop 3D-Printed Glass Bricks As Strong As Concrete …
WEB1 day ago · In mechanical testing, a single glass brick withstood pressures similar to that of a concrete block. As a structural demonstration, the researchers constructed a wall of interlocking glass bricks. They envision that 3D-printable glass masonry could be reused many times over as recyclable bricks for building facades and internal walls.
MIT Engineers Recycled 3D-Printed Glass Bricks to Revolutionize ...
WEB22 hours ago · The bricks are made using 3D-printed, recycled glass, printed using MIT spinoff Evenline’s Glass 3D Printer 3 technology. The printer was paired with a furnace to melt crushed glass into a molten form. The researchers say each of the glass blocks is strong, multilayered and designed in a figure-eight shape to …
