🦾 Robotic milling is adding a new layer of precision to 3D-printed concrete. In its latest experiments, Vertico combines 3D concrete printing with robotic milling to refine surfaces after printing. The process can smooth visible print layers, sharpen edges, and increase the accuracy of details and connections between elements....

just use a trowel.

I could watch that robot clean those edges all day

只有打印质量不够时才会加这多余工艺。

Very cool, but I like the layer lines. Who cares though, they’ll just use it to make free houses for vagrant junkies in Austin.

Texas town unveils largest 3D-printed neighborhood with identical eco-friendly homes - but buyers are left shocked by prices | Daily Mail The largest 3D-printed neighborhood ever built has popped up in Texas - but the houses come with a shocking price tag. Each of the 100 single-story three-to-four-bedroom homes in the Wolf Ranch community of Georgetown, northern Austin, costs between $450,000 to $600,000. Coincidentally, the $450,000 cost is also the median price of a regular brick-and-mortar home in the Lone Star State capital, according to Redfin data. But for some, the ingenuity of the Wolf Ranch neighborhood warrants the cost. Lawrence Nourzad, a 32-year-old business development director, and his girlfriend Angela Hontas, a 29-year-old creative strategist, purchased a Wolf Ranch home earlier this summer. 'It feels like a fortress,' Nourzad said, adding that he was confident it would be resilient to most tornados. The walls also provide strong insulation from the Texas heat, the couple said, keeping the interior temperature cool even when the air conditioner wasn't on full blast. There was one other thing the 3D-printed walls seemed to protect against, however: a solid wireless internet connection. 'Obviously these are really strong, thick walls. And that's what provides a lot of value for us as homeowners and keeps this thing really well-insulated in a Texas summer, but signal doesn't transfer through these walls very well,' Nourzad said. To alleviate this issue, an official said most Wolf Ranch homeowners use mesh internet routers, which broadcast a signal from multiple units placed throughout a home, versus a traditional router that sends a signal from one device. The houses are printed using the 45-foot-wide, 4.75-ton Vulcan machine, which pipes layer by layer to build the residential homes. This summer, the robotic printer from ICON is finishing the last few of 100 3D-printed houses in Wolf Ranch. ICON began printing the walls of what it says is the world's largest 3D-printed community in November 2022. Compared to traditional construction, the company says that 3D printing homes is faster, less expensive, requires fewer workers, and minimizes construction material waste. 'It brings a lot of efficiency to the trade market,' said ICON senior project manager Conner Jenkins. 'So, where there were maybe five different crews coming in to build a wall system, we now have one crew and one robot.' Read more:

🚨🇷🇺WEST IN RAGE: Russia's 3D printing Breakthrough Goes Global Rosatom (Russia's state nuclear corporation) shipped an industrial 3D printer to India — its first export to a far-abroad market. The RusBeam 2800, an electron-beam printer for large metal parts, now produces aerospace components. Russian additive manufacturing is outgrowing import substitution and starting to compete globally. Rostec (Russia's state industrial conglomerate) and Rosatom created the country's first certified reference sample of metal powder — titanium alloy PT-3V. Labs can now calibrate powder characteristics against a single standard: fewer defects, faster certification, a common quality language. It's no coincidence that Rosatom and Rostec lead this push. Nuclear reactors and jet engines demand absolute precision — exactly why the PT-3V reference sample matters. It gives every lab a single benchmark to check powders against, ensuring the hundredth printed part matches the first. Without it, 3D printing stays guesswork. With it, the technology becomes a trusted industrial process. Russian aviation has crossed that threshold: Rostec uses 3D-printed parts in PD-14 and PD-8 engines and has certified the first additively manufactured hot-section component for a serial aircraft engine — a combustor swirler inside the PD-14 powering the MC-21. These announcements are two sides of the same coin. Russia is assembling a complete chain: equipment, materials, software, standards, certification. After 2022, severed supply chains turned 3D printing from a trend into industrial survival. When a critical imported part is unavailable, printing it domestically shifts from convenience to necessity. The market hit 22.3 billion rubles in 2025. Hot-section parts face extreme temperatures and vibration, so certification means the technology has passed its toughest exam. Russia has moved beyond printing samples to building a full-fledged industry — from certified powder to exported machines for the most demanding sectors. Do you think the U.S. can really compete with Russia in this field?
