A lot of 3D-printed architecture is focused on creating relatively simple and utilitarian structures that look functional but show little thought paid to aesthetics. However, leading 3D printing firm ...

For the first time, a hydrogel material made of nanocellulose and algae has been tested as an alternative, greener architectural material. The study shows how the abundant sustainable material can be ...

Though the last decade’s almost cult-like fad for tabletop 3D printers has seemingly lost its momentum, a new trend for the technology is rising in some architectural circles. Out of the model shop ...

Maine doesn’t have enough affordable housing or enough workers to build more, but it does have quite a bit of excess wood fiber from its substantial forestry industry. Seeking a solution to those ...

The landscape of IC design is experiencing a profound transformation. With the physical and economic limits of conventional two-dimensional scaling, the industry is rapidly embracing three-dimensional ...

In architecture, new materials rarely emerge. For centuries, wood, masonry and concrete formed the basis for most structures on Earth. In the 1880s, the adoption of the steel frame changed ...

For many years, often spoken in tones of anticipation and excitement, we have heard that 3D printing will revolutionize the architecture industry as we know it. But if we stop for a moment, reflect on ...

The Second Studio (formerly The Midnight Charette) is an explicit podcast about design, architecture, and the everyday. Hosted by Architects David Lee and Marina Bourderonnet, it features different ...

Sweet Home 3D is among the popular free architecture software. It includes a vast library of objects you can place in your design. The Sweet Home 3D interface is divided into four sections. The ...

3D IC and chiplet-based design have the potential to accelerate the pace of semiconductor industry innovation. 3D IC design teams pack more functionality closer together and achieve higher levels of ...
