How Engineers Are Trying To 3D-Print Tomorrow's Buildings | 3D Nation - Part 8/8 | Full Episode

How is 3D printing technology reinventing the construction industry?

Shaun Wu is a 3D concrete printing specialist who is working with the HDB Building & Research Institute to develop projects for the future. At the largest 3D printing facility in Southeast Asia, they are researching effective ways to take the construction industry in Singapore to the skies. Recognised by the world as a leader in public housing, will this new technology further their legacy?

The NTU Singapore Center for 3D Printing is conducting research with unconventional construction materials that will promote sustainability. Their latest focus is NEWSand – a product generated from incinerated bottom ash, the thicker and heavier component of incinerated ash. Professor Tan Ming Jen and his team are attempting to 3D print a bathtub with this material in hopes of revolutionising the design and construction industry. Will their experiment offer answers that the industry is currently in search of?
