The Catalan (timbrel) vault is a 700-year-old, highly efficient construction technique using thin brick/tile layers (often 3) bonded with fast-setting mortar (like plaster) to create strong, lightweight curved structures.

Working on the second layer. Using a glaze technique (thin layers of paint) to blend the shadows. You can achieve a great sense of depth by working this way, slowly building up the layers, gradually refining the details. Defend the Realm 2 coming soon.

Multi-axis 3D printing with curved layers! 🖨️ Researchers from the The University of Manchester introduced a neural network-based computational pipeline as a representation-agnostic slicer for multi-axis 3D printing. Traditional 3D printing works like stacking pancakes, flat layers on top of each other. 🥞 This often requires temporary support structures that get thrown away after printing, wastes material, and creates weaker parts. Multi-axis 3D printing can print along curved paths that follow the object's natural shape. This eliminates support structures and makes stronger parts. But figuring out these curved paths is mathematically complex, you need to avoid collisions, respect what the printer can physically do, and optimize for strength. The neural network solves this automatically. It learns to create a "field" around the object, then extracts curved printing paths from this field. Because the entire process is differentiable (translation for non-math specialists, meaning you can optimize it end-to-end), the AI can directly optimize for manufacturing goals like "no support structures needed" and "make it as strong as possible." Here's the project: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

The strength of a structure begins beneath the surface. Shallow foundations are fast and cost-effective when the soil is strong, while deep foundations transfer massive loads to stronger layers far below the ground—making them essential for skyscrapers and heavy structures.

Bright Dreams Robotics makes construction robots in China. Here, a tile laying robot went up against an construction worker. The robot took 50 seconds per tile vs the human worker taking 4 minutes. The customer wasn't happy with the 50 second per tile speed. 1/3

The Nazis completely destroyed Warsaw’s Old Town and it was reconstructed brick by (in some cases) original brick, using old paintings as a guide. Today it feels a tiny bit twee and almost Disneyish but it is still a delight to walk through and a monument to Polish resilience
