Creating creative concrete columns is an excellent way to enhance the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of your ...

Prepare to be amazed by a revolutionary approach to building concrete columns that pushes the boundaries of traditional ...

Make additional concrete pieces for the top with plastic pots or plastic saucers as molds (or whatever shape you like). Spray mold with cooking oil (such as Pam) and fill with wet concrete.

Researchers at the Center for Civil Engineering Earthquake Research tested precast bridge columns with energy dissipating joints. Learn more about their research.

That’s not the only use of the technique though, and perhaps one of the simplest is to use a 3D-printed mould for casting concrete.

Dear Tim: My wife and I have an outdoor patio with colored precast concrete paving blocks. It doesn’t take long each year for black mold and mildew to start growing on it.

Fans of David Umemoto’s 1970s-esque molded-concrete sculptures speak knowingly of their Brutalist influence. The Montreal architect-turned-artist, however, traces their roots to primitive art ...

Concrete is, and will remain, an elemental construction element; its limits (in form and use) are far from being fully explored.

While large-scale 3D printing for architecture continues to be a busy area of research, France-based company XtreeE has been using 3D printed concrete in projects since 2015. Their latest creation ...

In general, pavers are interlocking tiles of stone, brick or molded concrete. Concrete is poured in large, solid blocks with flexible spacers to allow for contraction and expansion.

[Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to create some molds using 3D printing for concrete and plaster. He used a delta printer with flexible filament and documented his process in the video below. If you ...
