What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembled ...

Inspired by the sustainable possibilities of circular construction, MIT engineers are creating a new type of reconfigurable masonry using 3D-printed, recycled glass. Leveraging a custom 3D glass ...

We've come across our fair share of 3D printers here at Tom's Hardware. We've even covered a handful of clever Lego-based projects. This is the first time, however, we've seen the two meld together so ...

The U.S. Army has developed "Lego-like" concrete bricks in order to rapidly construct bridges during military campaigns. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, a subdivision of the ...

In a nutshell: If you can dream it, you can build it. That isn't the slogan for Lego, but perhaps it should be after seeing what one Reddit user managed to piece together using the popular ...

In contrast to the success of their molten-plastic cousins, paste extrusion 3D printers have never really attained much popularity. This is shame because, as the [Hand and Machine] research group at ...

Parked in the RIT glass hot shop, a first-of-its-kind device carries out a process sitting at the intersection of material, machine and maker. The technological marvel is the world’s first molten ...

Australian construction robot Charlotte uses sand, crushed brick and recycled glass to 3D print fireproof, floodproof homes ...

Back when 3D printers were pretty new, most of us had glass beds with or without painter’s tape. To make plastic stick, you’d either use a glue stick or hair spray. Many people have moved on to ...

3D printers have come a long way since their inception and they’re now more user-friendly (and affordable!) than ever. So if you've been on the fence about buying one, have we got a deal for you! Do ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...
