Engineers at MIT 3D printed bricks out of glass to see if they were a viable material for construction projects.
These bricks are designed to interlock seamlessly, similar to LEGO pieces, making them versatile and easy to assemble.
Researchers at MIT created a new type of 3D-printed glass brick designed for sustainable circular construction. These ...
“Glass is a highly recyclable material,” says Kaitlyn Becker, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. “At ...
The 3D-printed glass bricks, each shaped like a figure eight, are designed to interlock similar to LEGO bricks. In mechanical ...
Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls.
Using a 3D printer that works with molten glass, researchers forged LEGO-like glass bricks with a strength comparable to concrete. The bricks could have a role in circular construction in which ...
The potential for 3D-printable glass masonry is immense. It could be reused multiple times, serving as recyclable bricks for ...
MIT engineers have created 3D-printed, interlocking recycled glass bricks that could revolutionize sustainable construction.
What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry ...
“Glass as a structural material kind of breaks people’s brains a little bit,” said researcher Michael Stern in a statement.
