MIT engineers develop 3D-printed glass bricks for sustainable construction
The 3D-printed glass bricks, each shaped like a figure eight, are designed to interlock similar to LEGO bricks. In mechanical tests, these innovative glass bricks demonstrated strength comparable to that of traditional concrete blocks.
Can We Construct Entire Buildings with Recycled Glass? MIT Engineers Are Testing the Limits
“Glass is a highly recyclable material,” says Kaitlyn Becker, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. “At the end of a structure’s life, these glass bricks can be disassembled and reassembled into something new, or even remelted and printed into another form.”
MIT develops recyclable 3D-printed glass blocks for construction
The team points to glass’ optical properties and its “infinite recyclability” as reasons for turning to the material.
Trash to tower: MIT engineers 3D-print LEGO-like glass bricks as tough as concrete
These bricks are designed to interlock seamlessly, similar to LEGO pieces, making them versatile and easy to assemble.
'Brain-breaking' glass bricks are 3D printed, reusable, and strong
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 materials are used over and over again.
3D-Printed Glass Bricks Can Be Used And Reused Like Giant LEGO For Real-Life Buildings
In the latest move towards more sustainable construction, engineers at MIT have come up with an ingenious way of producing 3D-printed, reusable bricks – but the material they’ve chosen might just surprise you.
Engineers 3D Print Sturdy Glass Bricks
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 reassembl
