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 ...
“Glass as a structural material kind of breaks people’s brains a little bit,” said researcher Michael Stern in a statement.
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.
These bricks are designed to interlock seamlessly, similar to LEGO pieces, making them versatile and easy to assemble.
“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 at MIT have developed interlocking bricks made from recycled glass that could be re-used at the end of a building's lifecycle.
